My Migraine Battle: On The Forefront

Fat Tuesday

Ok, so, you know way more about me than you ever wanted to as it is, so I figure, what's another tidbit of meaningless trivia added to the already overflowing pile of manure I've previously sold you? Here it is, on the house:

My favorite night of the week is Tuesday. Why? Because, no matter what other shit is going on with my life; no matter how badly life sucks; no matter how much my head hurts or how angry and bitter I am with the world, I laugh on Tuesdays.

Two of my most favorite shows are on the tele Tuesday nights and if you've never watched them, you absolutely must, especially if your life sucks like mine and you don't have much to laugh about on a regular basis. It'll make you laugh your freakin' ass off and for a couple hours you can forget all about your sorrows, yeah? Yeah.

First, there's House. House is a brilliant diagnostician with an attitude twenty miles wide who doesn't give a shit about anyone not named House. Ya gotta love a guy who's so self-assured that nothing anyone else ever says, does or thinks makes a bit of difference to him. There's nothing sexier in my book. As a bonus, he is in chronic pain from a leg injury and pops vicodin throughout the show. What's not to love, I ask you? He totally makes me laugh.

If you want to know what my sense of humor is like, or the kind of person I aspire to be one day, it's him. He's the MAN. Not to mention, Hugh Laurie is totally adorable. (Ever see him in a tux? Ooh la la! The pics don't do him justice. He puts the Dash in Dashing!) Just look at those long legs and such a cute little ... well, you know what I mean. In the romantic fantasies department, the British category is a very, very short list. There are exactly five British men on my list, (one woman, tee-hee, jk, but I bet that woke you up, right?). He's the third man down. A total cutie patootie. :) 9pm, FOX

Next, there's Boston Legal. Since I was a teenager, I've loved James Spader, (this pic is how I remember him when I was a kid and he was a teen hearthrob with most of the girls). He's always been able to make me laugh and is a fantastic actor. Pairing him with Captain Kirk, how can you go wrong? It would be like putting Val Kilmer with Spock. Perfect fit. I even have a picture of the boys in their Halloween flamingo costumes on my "mantle". Well, ok, it's not so much a mantle as it is the top of our "entertainment center". The entertainment center isn't so much a center as it is a black painted steel shelving unit, very minimalist. But, it's in a place of honour is my point, where I can see it for "residual" laughs throughout the week when I need them. And, the eye candy doesn't stop with Spader and Shatner, although if you saw them in their flamingo outfits, you'd see some gorgeous legs on those boys. Anyway, there's also, Mark Valley and I'm a huge fan of his. He's a hottie. Used to play Keen Eddie, which was my fave show and also hilarious, for awhile, 'til the network execs took it off the air! (Buttheads on BRAVO think they know what they're doing-psh! Not! Grr. Sorry, random residual rant, comes up every once in awhile. Can't help it.) The show is freakin' hilarious and if you liked Ally McBeal, you'll like this. But, if you didn't like Ally McBeal, then you'll really, really like BL. :) NBC, 10 pm.

Lemme know what you think after you give these two shows a shot. Leave a comment. (I get lonely when you don't.)

Between these two shows, all the pain, angst and trauma stress from the week, melt away for two solid hours. I'm not a huge fan of tv, preferring to read instead, but I love Tuesday nights.
