I almost forgot to put a title on this post.

Last night I was lying in bed, reading a romance novel about vampires, listening to the 'Nightmare Before Christmas' soundtrack (as performed by various artists), and wearing a limited edition Halloween Fall Out Boy Hoodie (yes, I know, I'm lame) when I realized that I was not ready to let go of Halloween yet. Now, this could be symptomatic of the fact that Halloween kind of came and went for me without much fanfare, but that doesn't really matter, now does it. So, anyway...
That is Fall Out Boy. They have my favorite costumes of the season. They're dressed like Panic! at the Disco (thanks FriendsorEnemies.com for the pic). And... for the sake of reference:

Not the best pic, but I'm sure you see the resemblance. They are, of course, being imitated by the middle two guys in the top picture.

Okay, so Halloween point 2. Did anyone else think that the Halloween episodes of most tv shows sucked this year. I'll admit, I didn't catch anything that was on the Thursday before the holiday, but after that... not much of anything. Except Bones. They had a really good episode.

So, enough of Halloween, let's move on to other things that should be mentioned.

1. Has anyone else noticed that Canadian accents (okay, they could be from Minnesota or someplace like that) are really in right now. As are ugly babies. Maybe I've just decided not to like kids anymore, but it seems like every baby on television is really ugly.

2. Joey Fatone is a really good game show host (he hosts The Singing Bee). I'm not sure what it is about him, but I'm rather impressed with his television hosting skills. I even think he might have made a better choice for The Price is Right than Drew Carey (who is not a spectacular host), but I guess its not up to me.

3. Psychics are awesome. One of my new favorite (okay, too strong of a word) is The American Psychic Challenge on Lifetime. They basically take people who claim to be psychics and make them do random tasks (matching husbands and wives, or musicians to their instruments) and score them on their 'abilities.' I find it funny because these people are so busy trying to be psychics that they miss the obvious clues (like the fact that people tend to marry other people who look like themselves). Also, there's the show Phenomenon which I've never bothered to watch, but every time I see a commercial for, I start humming that one song from The Muppet Show (you know: meh-nah-meh-nah do-dooo-da-doo-do... okay, my writing doesn't quite do it justice, but you'd know it if you heard it).

4. This writer's guild strike sucks. I'm totally on their side, especially when it comes to royalties from sales on iTunes and alike, but I really don't want it to mess with my tv. Apparently someone in charge of writing the show Heroes rewrote the ending for yesterday's episode in case it ended up as the season finale. That sucks... but it was an awesome episode (let's all take a moment to say 'OMG! That's Adam Monroe!')

5. I think we need to start some talk of a Dancing with the Stars curse. Bad things keep happening to those people. More on that when more bad things happen.

Okay, well, I suppose that's enough rambling for today. I hope you enjoyed yourself, if only so I could call you a loser, because if you enjoyed yourself even half as much as I did you're totally lame.

omg! i totally watched that America's Psychic Challenge w/ Linds and if I had the time, I'd watch it every time it was on.

It was amazing.

As was the bones Halloween episode, I must admit.
