october!
october is a cool month if you ask me. it rules.

lately on Being Married:
actually i can’t remember anything lately. i think it’s because i’ve been WATCHING TELEVISION. and we all know that crap rots your brain. so far i’ve recorded mostly cartoons. but there’s 2 shows on the beeb i recorded too. one is a new one that i’ve never heard of but while watching the other show i kept seeing commercials for it…until i remembered that if one records a show one can fast forward through the commercials. i’m such a noob.

anyway, Wire in the Blood and The Street. WitB was all right. i haven’t watched The Street yet. there seems to be lots of murder/cop shows that are popular over there. kinda like here. oh, and there’s a new Dr. Who series starting soon…this time with real special effects. hee. but i must admit i’m disappointed with BBC America because it seems to show the same things over and over and over. and while i love that they show the old episodes of As Time Goes By in order (in order!) i can’t help but be disappointed that they show their version of Antiques Roadshow 8 times a day. don’t get me wrong, i LOVE Antiques Roadshow, but not that much.

and WHAT is WITH the Benny Hill show? i mean, still? and you’re putting it on EVERY NIGHT? it’s on PRIME TIME? are you kidding me? there’s not anything newer or even…dare i say, better, you could put on the 7pm spot? lord. we’re AMERICA! we’re not COMPLETE RETARDO MONTALBANS OVER HERE. i can’t figure if the channel is run by brits or if it’s a u.s. channel. did they pick the shows all, “well, we know the stupid americans like benny hill and Are you Being Served…we’ll just show crock shits of that. they’ll love it.”
or if it was all, “dang, i can’t understand what the people in these shows are saying…let’s just play the antiques and the benny hill…i love that show! oh, and Who’s Line is it Anyway? i mean, we already have that one…but hey, it never gets old!”

yes. yes it does.

there is a show called My Husband is Gay. i shit you not. i’m sure we’d have that show over here, but i wonder what they’d have to call it. because really we have the same exact reality shows over here, but they’re just called different things. like the antiques roadshow over there is called cash in the attic. hell’s kitchen over there is called masterchef goes large. what not to wear is called…well, it’s called what not to wear.

there’s a show on TLC called Little People Big World about a midget family. i’ve not watched it, but i’ve always meant to. i wonder what they’d call it over there, Midgies? the Wee Ones?

television. honestly.

meanwhile, in real life:
i have to paint today. i thought i’d get a whole week off of painting, but no. i’m painting at the HCH so it’s still better than painting off by myself, but i was looking forward to giving my shoulder a break.

i’ve been meaning to take a picture of my new glasses, but really just find a pic of barbara starr and there you go.
hmm.

i made fried chicken the other night. i used my 20lb Emeril Cast Iron Grill Pan Skillet Thing (on Amazon they say it’s 7lbs. they lie.) hee, grillet. anyway, i don’t mean to brag or anything…but that was some damn good fried chicken. ask cookie, she’ll tell you. she’ll say, “dang! jaimie’s danged ol’ fried cheeckin was dang good!” it was the best i’ve ever made and i really believe it had to do with using cast iron instead of the frying pan i usually use. word!

tonight i try my hand at making cornbread…not in the grillet though…i think it would stick inside the grill things. i’ve got a small round iron skillet i got from a dead guy. i’ll use that.

i’ll let you know how it turns out.
