aisha tyler

i absolutely love aisha tyler…she is the perfect mix of brains and humor. i’ve been fortunate enough to catch her stand-up live, twice. aside from being one of the most gorgeous smart girls ever…and being sooo d@mn funny, i simply love her…love her…in a fan/admirer to writer/actress/comedian/gamer/intellectual sorta way. whether or not she’s blogging about playing fallout 3 on her ps3 or talking about catching up on lost…she’s just uber fascinating and a total sweetheart.

she’s up for being the ‘america’s sexiest comedienne’

here’s why:

you are sooo staring at my boobs

so far my days consist of swimming, swimming class, nba finals (go cavs!), talking on the phone to you (LOL), twittering and writing reviews.

i learned to swim when i was younger but it took wave jumping in the atlantic for me to realize i must have forgotten how to swim and that i should take lessons.

so, my class is almost over (for which i will be sad) but i’ve taken to a regular conversation before lessons with a young kid who is actually pretty cool. usually we have a brief chat while slowly getting into the pool and trying to adjust to the cold water before spending the next hour or so trying out strokes, techniques, etc. per our instructors.

one day we were discussing cape cod and this little kid would not stop staring at my boobies. he sooo couldn’t stop. i can’t say that i minded it at all…but was fascinated by the idea that he couldn’t help himself. and not to be too informative, i’m quite unremarkable. i’m no pam anderson or dolly parton…and i have no problem with that.

dude was fixated and i find it…interesting. i mean, i know men…but was wondering the last time i was THAT transfixed with anything.

reality / shmeee-ality

who gives a flippin’ eff if american idol or any reality tv show these days is fair…odds are they aren’t. how weird was it that lil kim, who was the best dancer on dancing with the stars, got booted way early and an inferior dancer won the whole competition. so, i don’t wanna hear about ‘american idol’ anymore.

i am discovering that i have such a massive distrust for ‘voting’ on reality shows…actually i’m discovering i have such a disdain for reality shows in general. better yet, i have a huge teething hatred for tv, more so. i know, i could get out more, read a book, roll around in the pool more…BUT when i need escape, when i need a little bit of love from what i’m paying more for and for making the hdtv feel powered and appreciated…can you give me a little more of something mildly engaging?

i beg you tv execs…whatever is going on…in tv land…please develop less reality tv shows and more sitcoms, family dramas, investigative shows…less csi’s, law and order’s, more comedies, more dramas…more shows that aren’t cookie cutter and that actually have some substance. i’m soooo tired of seeing the same people that look the same, saying the same things. i’m soooo tired of reality shows where almost like scary movies, black people ‘die’ early, almost during the credits. i’m tired of people fitting into these boxes of personality…like tried and true formulas of vapid shallowness.

i dont’ know what happens in hollywood and often have daydreamed about working in the industry…but i wonder if original thought is celebrated or just left to premium cable channels and indie films that hardly have enough money to get made.

anyway…shows i still support for originality: weeds (on showtime), lie to me (on fox…ew, fox!!) and 30 rock (on nbc). oh and hgtv’s house hunters.

she’s an enabler

how horrible is it to be around someone who makes you do that which you do not want…even though you did but now you don’t.

unfortunately some people are enablers and make you buy a bottle of your most favorite greek wine after dinner at the greek restaurant where you’ve just eaten a jumbo gyro and had a glass already, when you shouldn’t. it’s fiscally irresponsible. but, chilling like a villain in my refrigerator, thanks to her…is my most favorite wine. and how cruel is it that wanting dessert not inside the restaurant where you’ve just had dinner they make you go next door to the mexican store to eat cookies in the parking lot?

beware of your enablers. keep your enemies close and your enablers closer.

love radiohead…watched a bit of their doc today on ifc.
