the story of our labour day long weekend � brought to you by the word DEDICATION
first off, CBS are fucking jerks. (the bad kind). the network said it was going to show the entire season of LOST from start to finish over again during the summer. i never watched it when it first came out - i thought it was lame and stupid. watching the amount of tv i watch means i can only take on so many new shows a season and LOST was not one of them. but two friends i trust insisted i watch it. one being a bit of a tv addict himself and the other almost never ever watches tv. so i was like fuck fine whatever i�ll watch it. geesh.
i had already missed the first hour of the two hour season premiere so Greenly one of the two suggestors downloaded the first hour for me and i watched it on his computer. then because friends don�t come much better than Greenly he actually ripped me the entire season. BUT they wouldn�t play in my DVD i�d have to watch them on the computer. i�m so lazy i really didn�t want to watch them on my computer. and at first even though i didn�t say anything i still thought the show was fucking lame. i was like WHATEVER this JACK dude is NO JACK BAUER.
i continued watching them holding out hope it would get better. adam shared my sentiments and watched them from the corner of an eye. maybe 8 or 9 episodes in, one came on and i was like, what the fuck is going on here i know i didn�t miss one but i missed one. being as SMRT and analytical as i am i was able to figure out that the network had �missed one�, not me. i kept watching, i was starting to like it a little more but then all of a sudden they announced that the new season is starting in TWO WEEKS and mass advertising for the release of the DVD was everywhere - which coincidentally enough (or is it?) came out yesterday. fuckers i knew, i KNEW what they were doing trying to get me to buy the damn DVD. i loaded the shows up onto my computer and discovered they had cut closer to 5 or 6 episodes. in one night we watched all of the episodes we missed, discovering how much story line we had missed - go figure the show didn�t seem quite as lame. and we�re bloody hooked now.
MEANWHILE�.
early last week there was a two hour pilot for a show called �Prison Break�. i was about as excited as i get over the prospect of a new show. i really thought i would like it�prison�murder�politics�.all in one - it HAD potential. WORST SHOW EVER. it was so painful i considered OD-ing on tylenol 3�s.
i should of known because OZ is my favourite show EVER. in the universe. adam had never seen even one episode of OZ and although i thought i had been able to get over it, it annoyed me. one of the main dudes is on LOST and A LOT of the OZ cast has ended up on the Law & Order series. i do not watch L&O but every now and again i check it out to see how my OZ buddies are doing. it annoyed me cause adam would poke fun at me every time i would want to watch an episode of L&O just to see the old OZ actors. he just had no idea how kick ass OZ is or he just would NOT of been poking fun.
after watching this joke of a show prison break, i said fuck this we are going to get OZ.
we watched the entire first season over saturday and sunday. adam loved it. (as if i didn�t KNOW he would)
DURING�.
our own private OZ fest there were certain tennis matches taking place at the US Open i was not willing to miss. i totally thought adam liked tennis. he got up at 5:30am with me two days in a row for 2004�s Wimbledon to watch the finals. this years women�s final i didn�t really care and i knew Federer was going to win so i watched both when they were re-shown. anyway, on saturday Hewitt�s match went on for EVER. i THOUGHT that Sharapova�s match was on sunday and that i only needed to watch Venus vs Serena. WRONG. by the time we got to the V vs S match adam was already WELL into his complaining. i was SHOCKED. i had no idea. i didn�t get mad, i thought it was funny � i was like, are you kidding me? you got up at 5:30am two days in a row and you DON�T EVEN LIKE TENNIS and i am JUST finding out now WELL OVER A YEAR later. i looked him right in the eye and said, as serious as serious can be, �i feel like i don�t even know you�.
he said he wished he ran the network so that he could put their names up on the screen as Penis and Urethra
he said too bad she didn�t hit her in the face and her eye popped out
he said the only thing that would make that shot better is if she hit her in the face and her eye popped out
he said you know whaps the only thing that would make that shot better? is if she hit her in the face and her eye popped out.
IN CONCLUSION�.
yesterday we finished watching LOST. the sound on the last two hours was off by 1 to 2.8 seconds. yes we clocked it, because we are nerds like that. it would speed up and slow down it was odd but anyway we totally learned how to read lips and i now feel even more comfortable in my quest to be the awesomest ninja ever. and all i wanna say is hahaha on the jerks who had to wait all summer and we only have to wait 2 weeks for the premier. being a massive fan of 24 gives me great faith that sawyer somehow will be rescued by a shark and that he will ride the shark back after the boy�.
AND yes i know it seems like we didn�t leave the apartment but we did, we got out for some golf - i told a joke and these dudes said i should be on leno. i�m a letterman fan myself. we also played some adult games. OZ got me all randy.

So…did you do anything this weekend?
Oh…Canada celebrates Labor day? You can’t even spell it correctly!
September 7th, 2005 at 1:38 pm
My dad lives in outer space.
September 7th, 2005 at 2:28 pm
don’t you comment anymore? Too good for my blog now are we??
September 7th, 2005 at 3:20 pm
oh no now i am going to take this all personal even though i know you can’t be being serious cause i comment on almost every post you put up
but i will admit i have been slacking with returning the comments i have been getting but only (see some of the previous posts) because i have been in a funk/not to hot state of depression for a good long while now. as i mentioned just getting a post up over here at the greeper is progress.
September 7th, 2005 at 4:42 pm
So…what you’re really saying is that unless I’m planning on cloning myself, I should NOT catch an episode of lost…right?
September 7th, 2005 at 5:02 pm
I love OZ!!!!!!!!!

September 7th, 2005 at 5:17 pm
thanks AB you had me so paranoid that i spelled it wrong that i had to look it up in the dictionary.
September 7th, 2005 at 5:18 pm
what a coincidence SO DOES MINE!!!
September 7th, 2005 at 5:19 pm
I don’t think it’s fair to call the Williams sisters penis & urethra. It’s giving penises and urethras everywhere a bad name
September 7th, 2005 at 5:19 pm
yes that is exactly what i am saying.
September 7th, 2005 at 5:23 pm
i will be checking out that post.
i am SUCH A NERD! i am keeping track of how many episodes i have not seen. season one i had missed three. we just got both disks for season two today…i am pretty sure i didn’t miss ANY season two but we will soon see…
best show ever!!
September 7th, 2005 at 6:24 pm
good thing i don’t watch the telly. i just leave it on for white noise. i miss your whore-box, damn you.
September 7th, 2005 at 8:48 pm
I keep meaing to check out OZ.
September 7th, 2005 at 8:54 pm
lol at OZ fest! heheh
and yes, we can’t go around giving penises (penii??) and urethras (urethraa??) a bad name like that!
finally, where is your message board?!!
September 7th, 2005 at 9:23 pm

September 8th, 2005 at 12:59 am
I’ve never heard of OZ…
I refuse to watch Lost because I don’t want to become dependent on a tv show for happiness/satisfaction.
Plus I don’t have time for tv anyway… it would really cut into my time doing everything else.
I have to get back to pretending to do work now.
September 8th, 2005 at 1:23 am
Oz is legendary. My husband is into LOST. It’s not that I don’t like it…I just hate to be obligated to watch things on a regular basis and base my life on it. Mr. Sumo is a couch patater and is happy having his life taking up by the tube. I do love watching tennis though.
September 8th, 2005 at 6:21 am
Those of us that speak english spell it labour, only americans spell it labor. Why they felt the need to spell their words with a southern twang I can only wonder…. no wait, by american logic that should be spelt sothern
OZ is a great show. I watched the first season all in one hit, back to back…. after that 8 hours I felt like I’d been in prison. I did the same with the second season I think. Haven’t had a chance to watch the 3rd yet (my friend has them on DVD so I just borrow them from him
I saw the first episode of lost and would have liked to watch it but I find it difficult to fit TV watching into my life.
September 8th, 2005 at 6:52 am
Me and a friend made total fools of ourselves gushing about Lost in our fairy tale class the other night. Fuck it! We love it, and I think we’ve dragged some people over to the dark side.
September 8th, 2005 at 7:34 am
Isn’t there a few Oz episodes involving eyeballs popping out?
September 8th, 2005 at 7:48 am
Holy Hell, you share my exact sentiments on Prison Break. I dug OZ. Brilliant, realistic, and actual prison rape… (which is grody)… Prison break was boring, cliched, unrealistic, sterile garbage. Lost by the way is by far the best thing to have hit the small screen in years…

Corinna.. quick reminder that the live draft for yahoo hockey pool is september 11th (this next sunday), so get those emails in as soon as possible kay?)
September 8th, 2005 at 12:35 pm

it made me feel better.
September 8th, 2005 at 1:08 pm
Your picture from dorky Tuesday is on Raymi’s site!
September 8th, 2005 at 1:10 pm
you know i don’t watch any of the shows you mentioned but i was recommended LOST and 24. I don’t like jumping into things if i didn’t see it from the beginning. my fav shows are Curb Your Enthusiasm, Six Feet Under and The Comeback, ever seen those?
September 8th, 2005 at 4:02 pm
Leno’s chin is now the largest single body part in the universe… ever since Chyna got hers fixed, that is. Oz definitely rocks balls, LOST.. well, never saw it - kinda got over TV for the most part… well, except for OZ, The Sopranos, Deadwood, and Stargate SG-1 (yeah, I’m a geek.)
Back for more later. Peace
September 9th, 2005 at 6:49 am
penis and urethra! brilliant! adam would totally do that if he was in charge.me too.
dude.i found lost to be gay.but i dont watch much tv,so i find most stuff gay.
all aussies (except his mum and dad) think that layton hewwitt (fukkwitt) is a poofta.there is just no exscuse for the reverse baseball cap.ever.well,maybe if youre in some ‘rap group’ (i believe thats what the youngsters call it).cunts.
ooo,arent i in a grumpy mood???
hope youre brilliant CORINNA(if briskly fingering adam is enough).
September 9th, 2005 at 8:37 am

and gusgreeper is a rockon hardcore zombie lover!

thinkeen about stupid ol Lleyton Hewitt makes me laugh because…well, lotsa times ill be in a place and something will pop into my head for no real reason i know of but it is so goddamn funny that i cant just forget about it i have to start laughing until its all out of me. .. .. .but its usually something real dumb like just brutal names. whenever i think of the name myrtle i always start laughing like this, because i think that myrtle is the brutalest name ever. gertrude is pretty brutal too. but lleyton hewitt is allowed to be brutal because hes famous, but it still is a brutal name. i cant stop laughing now.
..:..:..:..:..:..:..:..;//////
if someone was named eclair, i think that i would laugh at that a lot too. haha
September 10th, 2005 at 10:13 am
So that is what is going on. I am so slow I could not figure out how it felt like I kept missing shows but i knew that I had not missed any. I finally went on line to read more so I could understand. Thank you for filling me in.
September 12th, 2005 at 3:04 am
Oz was really depressing…
September 12th, 2005 at 4:30 pm
no not any of them, thanks for the heads up on them.., i do keep meaning to check out six feet under i will likely go through it on DVD. i have heard it is awesome.
September 12th, 2005 at 4:35 pm
i wish hewitt would turn his hat around. i do agree it is wrong and it looks lame not to mention GAY. damn good tennis player though. i do enjoy watching him lose to federer time and time again (but he is still good) glad Clijsters dumped his ass though. BUT if hewitt is such an austrilian shame how come he is married to such a fucking hottie??? eh man?
