The One Where I'm Tired and Writing a Blog
Added 2015-01-16 19:11:11 +0000 UTCAhhhh! So freakin tired. I went to bed very late last night, between recording the Midnight Screenings, and then coming home and watching the Paddington and Wedding Ringer reviews. Then a handful of episodes of "Friends." They've put Friends up on Netflix, so you know what that means? That means I'm binge watching a lot of Friends. I don't care how popular it is now days to not like this show or to say that it doesn't hold up, I still love this show, and to me, it still holds up. Why the fuck don't I have a foosball table as my dining room table? I would purchase a duck and a chick, but the cats would definitely not like that. I'm not going to lie though. Rewatching the first season, it's making me feel mentally a little old. Holy shit, that was 20 years ago. These characters are in their early 40s now. Ross' kid is nearing drinking age. There's adults now who have no memory of this show premiering, or The Rachel. Son of a bitch, 20 years goes by fast. While Brian may have his Gilmore Girls, I'm not alone in my Friends love. Dave and Sarah have been rewatching the hell out of the show too. I think Sarah is like me in that she watched the entire series first run as well. I also hope I'm not alone in saying that David Schwimmer is completely underrated as an actor. Aside from giving arguably the most dramatic performances on Friends, as well as his very good comedic timing, all you need to do is just watch Schwimmer in Duane Hopwood, where he stars as a hardcore alcoholic, and you can truly see his talent come out to shine. And Mac and C.H.E.E.S.E. should have been the real spin off of Friends. I was just as sad as Joey when Mac and C.H.E.E.S.E. was cancelled. I would have watched the living hell out of that. Ok, enough Friends talk, why did I come here again? I kinda just went off on a Friends tangent, but then again, I'm sure that's why you're reading this. Not necessarily for Friends, but for just a random string of thoughts as I sit at a keyboard. Can you tell I have A.D.D. yet, or used to be a coke head in my late teens and early 20s? Speaking of, my friend Katie sent me a picture of when I was around 23 maybe, drunk and coked out as hell while leaning on an ATM at our local bar. Ah, those were the days. Wait a minute, no they weren't, those were terrible terrible days! I may feel slightly old while watching Friends, but dear god do I love my 30s way better than my 20s. I miss my hair, but I can live with that. Right now we're doing some scheduling on getting the Worst of the Year videos posted. We're going to be doing some filming on that this weekend. I doubt we'll be able to get both of the Worst of videos done this weekend, but at least we'll be able to do 1. I'm working hard on getting shit done before I gotta leave for Magfest on Tuesday, and that includes on of the Worst Ofs as well as the new Snob episode. Damn, it's time to take a shower and make some coffee. I gotta start waking up before I sit down to watch the Snob movie this week. It's a movie I've seen before many many times, so at least I know what I'm getting into, and I know that it's awesome.

funny thing is, my family never cared for the show when it came out in the 90's. but me and my mom love the show now.

2015-01-20 15:54:47 +0000 UTCI fall into the category of 'didn't watch it at all in its first run, but might watch it now if it's on' group. I won't binge watch it, though; gotta get through Quantum Leap and Blossom first, two shows that I adored in their original runs and am falling in love with all over again. Seriously, I love the oldest brother on Blossom. He was so well written, and they really handled his backstory (drug and booze addiction, ending up losing 4 years of his life, and only now beginning to venture back into actual normal life).

2015-01-17 02:31:56 +0000 UTCI watched 'Friends' all the time when I was a teen, that's the show that taught me English (along with 'The Simpsons'). I really should watch it again, I'm sure that I'll understand a LOT more jokes now.

2015-01-17 01:07:29 +0000 UTCAdmittedly, I was never a Friends fan when it was on. Home Improvement was the sitcom I elected during the '90s (I'd say now that Titus would be my all-time favorite sitcom). With that said, if you enjoy it, more power to ya; you're doing just what I did when The Wonder Years showed up on Netflix.

2015-01-16 23:51:53 +0000 UTCI do enjoy friends. My parents began watching it when I was a kid, and continued watching it. I would come in and see it every now and again and sometimes laughed my ass off. Joey freaking out over Turkey Head will forever be one of my favorite moments ^^ But yeah, I feel you. I'm 25 now and every now again, knowing I'm not old, feel it with how much stuff has come and gone. Glad to report I was never a coke head so I guess I've got the one up on that on lol. In any case, thanks for the little update, these are usually fun to read and even when you're tired you are pretty damn eloquent. Me, half the time it looks like my cat walked over my keyboard lol.

2015-01-16 23:32:10 +0000 UTCI used to watch Friends when a was around 10, I was the kid who had cable so of course I wasn't going to watch regular tv channel. I remember liking it, most of the time, except for Janice, but i'm sure it was because of the poor french version I had. Saw your top 20 of the year, still didn't have the chance to see some of it, but i'm kinda sad httyd2 didn't made it. See ya.

2015-01-16 22:24:36 +0000 UTCThere are people who love "Friends", there are people who hate "Friends"...and then there are people who have never seen a single minute of that show. Like me. Whoops. And yes, I also like to compare years and think "Damn, already XX years ago??". Last but not least: I'm curious already what the next Snob review is gonna be and I'm at least as excited for the upcoming Worst of the Year video.
