I finally got some sleep. No, for real. 11 hours. I feel like... I don't know. What do you call it when you're not in a bad mood, wanting to cry and everyone else to die slow horrible deaths? Oh. Right, a good mood! I totally forgot about those. This may be the first show I've ever gotten through without sobbing hysterically and being hopped up on caffeine. Of course, that's because I wasn't allowed to have caffeine. And I quote Dave Foley: "I'm not sure exactly what it is caffeine does for your body. But I do know that without it your head implodes." This is also the first show where I've bee proud of every sketch. Strangely, I'm especially proud of the sketch that featured O-Town. You've probably noticed an O-Town theme over the past few days. What happened was, beyond my total addiction to Making the Band (not back until the 25th. Damn it, ABC!) we needed a boy band song to use in a sketch. It had to be slow enough for our boys to dance to (very, very slow) and not totally recognizable. Liquid Dreams fit the bill. So I guess MtB did exactly what it was supposed to do, in that it got me to recognize O-Town's songs and think about them and stuff. Of course, we mocked it mercilessly. But by last night's performance we were also all backstage singing Jacob's part (especially the "whoo!!") and dancing. So we Thanked O-Town in the program, although we No Thanked Jacob's pouty fits. See, now the song is going through my head. Augh... Jacob, be quiet!! Oh, that picture from the last entry? I stole that. I totally totally shouldn't have done it, and I now I feel guilty. It was wrong, so blah blah guilt fishcakes I'm sorry. And if you don't know what fishcakes are, you aren't spending enough time reading Mighty Big Tv and you should be. I recommend the Making the Band recaps -- particularly "Jacob and his Amazing Technicolor Ego." And, as should be obvious to anyone who knows me... Yeah, I don't really hate Jacob. Or at least, I don't "hate" hate him. (Hi, 5th grade! How've you been?) You can stop smirking. I've admitted it. Nicole and I have extensive plans to find him, make him cut his damn hair, take a bath, and go get actual vocal lessons from someone interested in actual talent, because while he's not quite the god he thinks of himself as, he does have serious potential. He is also a self-centered pouty princess brat... which is the single most interesting thing about Making the Band. And if he ever learns to pout cutely the way Jian does, he'll be pretty close to ruling the world. So lets hope against that happening. The thing is, I grew up on MST3K. It's my very, very favorite show (and eventually going up as something I love, I swear) and one which I can still quote whole episodes of. Unfortunately, it's given me this warped perspective, and I have this tendency to have really, really unbalanced love/hate relationships. I really enjoy a lot of stuff that I hate. I can't explain it beyond that. Making the Band is such a train wreck of a show, and it's about a boy band, and it's my big big guilty pleasure. And it's not back on until May 25th! Darn it. I guess I just have to think of it like a late birthday present from ABC or something, but still. So that's why Nicole and I have been so O-Town centric. Rehearsal every night included about 12 run throughs of Liquid Dreams, and then I have a copy of "Girl" as well, 'cause the lyrics make me laugh. They're... uh. Not good. I'm trying to be nice. Judge for yourself: Chorus: The very, very saddest part is that Jacob is the only thing saving that song from total awfulness. Damn it, Jacob. So girls, then? You guys tryin' to prove a little somethin' somethin'? Send us email! Cut your hair, Jacob. |
