I know that sounds bad but I can justify that even though I only ate Mac n Cheese for dinner (a whole box, every last Godforsaken noodle), it was, in fact, a complete nutritious meal because it was organic. Isn't eating something organic, equivalent to like, eating a thousand multivitamins or something?
No? Not at all? Whatever.
ANYWAYS (screw you healthy eaters and my New Year's resolution!) let's move onto the topic of tonight's discussion.
Pete and I have been watching Weeds online and I can't decide if I like the main character, Nancy Botwin or not.
I guess the main thing that bothers me is that we don't know how or why she initially got into selling weed (unless I missed something extremely crucial in those early episodes). It doesn't seem to be an occupation you can just jump into. I understand your husband died and you and your family are accustomed to a certain lifestyle and whah whah whah, but you suddenly are BFF with some people in the "ghetto" (I don't know why I couldn't un-quote that) and they're all, feeding you their cornbread and crap? (They really eat cornbread on the show, like all the time, that wasn't supposed to be some racial stereotype, although does just mentioning how that could sound like a racial stereotype make me sound racist?? Crap.)
And she's always, ALWAYS, drinking some kind of fast-food drink. "Slurp" is actually one of her more popular lines. I don't get it, and? I don't like it.
I mean, I get that she's like quirky, and cool, I guess, but she is a pretty shitty mother and at any moment she might be banging some random dude in a street alley, or an office, or WHEREVER she chooses to be whorey that day. And apparently she has no soul because she was responsible for an innocent man's death and consequently the destruction of said man's child's life, and seems to feel no remorse. If that wasn't evidence enough to her soul less shell of a body, here's more proof: she has black eyes.
Look for yourself:
Are those just two giant pupils? What's going on there?
So anyways, I totally loved you, Nancy Botwin, in Fried Green Tomatoes, but I find myself routing against you in Weeds (shoot her in the face, just SHOOT HER in the FACE!) and routing a lot more for the character that's supposed to be the bitch no one likes....but then again, what does that say about me?
By the way....gotta give a "shot out" to my dear friend Whitney for leaving me the comment of "SWEET POTATOE!!" on my last blog entry because it seriously made me Laugh Out Loud because, again, what? Should I know this? Because...I don't. But? I love you Whitney. Sweet Potatoe to you too.
Sweet Potatoe to you all!

I agree to an extent; but Agent Wonder Bread wasn't entirely "innocent" (certainly not at the time that he was killed; but even before that). If the show didn't have Kevin Nealon, I wouldn't watch it. NO DOUG WILSON, NO PETE G! That's my motto and if I have to hear that STUPID ASS theme song one more time, I might have to shoot Ms. Botwin in the friggin' face MYSELF!
Ticky-Tacky,
pete
PS. signing off with that just made me puke, literally. I have to go clean myself up.
hahahha, pete was probably miserable on New Years Eve when we played that multiple times. muha.ha.ha.
sweet potatoe.... ? Seriously you don't know? Do you not watch the soup? Watch The Soup on Friday and I'm sure you'll know because it's sort of like "oprah's vajayjay" only this time it's her sweet potatoe.
Anywhoodles, glad I could make you laugh :D
ps - I root for Nancy, all the way. And I want a friend named Lupita, because I think it's cool.
Nancy's on Broadway in the show Hedda Gabler. Opening up new markets on the East Coast, I guess.
No judgement on the m&c. I've eaten a box before. But organic? that is new.
Seriously, who would want to deal pot? No health insurance plan! Y'know... outside the weed itself.
1. I've made that box of mac and cheese - and only that for dinner - (thinking I'm all that) only to have my hubby say, "What, am I a 12 year boy? What meat did you make?" Ummmm....
2. And the slurping sounds on Weeds drive my hubby NUTS! He can't figure out how they are ALWAYS at the bottom of the cup!
3. And now, you'll start noticing the slurping sound in more shows... guaranteed!
