Everything I Thought I Knew

A few years ago, the company I worked for hired an interim CFO. This thrilled me, because I didn't know that such a job even existed. And I love when that happens, because it lets me keep believing that somehow, somewhere, my dream job actually exists.

Which is: to read TV Guide and then be quizzed on it.

Ah — that's my heaven. I absorb nothing so readily as the content of TV Guide. I don't even watch that much TV, really (which is ironic, for the girl blogging a TV show) — I've never seen an episode of Melrose Place in my life, for example, but I can tell you the basic overview of the original show and name the entire cast, and even drop a few plot points re: its latest incarnation.

I'm not especially proud of this skill. Like people who can spit really far or burp the alphabet — it's just an odd thing that I happen to be able to do very well.

But now — hmm. I have to wonder if TV Guide has gone deranged.







There they are: the eight finalists that TV Guide labeled "the ones to watch." And as faithful viewers well know, the only one who even made it to the Top 12 is Andrew "Yawni" Garcia, Gokey 2.0, and his days are likely numbered.

(which: yay !!)

Can I continue to hitch my wagon to the star of such a deeply impaired publication?

Lady Chardonnay, befuddled and OUT.

HAHA...how out of date is that?? Chris Golightly was disqualified before they even started the Top 24.

By the way, I also know a lot about stuff I really don't know. I could be sitting around with people talking about movies, and I'll be like, "Oh you mean that movie with Christian Slater and Mary Steenburgen and the talking mice? Yeah, and Wayne Knight played the crazy neighbor and his daughter was Claire Danes? Oh yeah. Never saw it."
