nooooooooo

the preceding was a scene from the fox tv show prison break, retold here from a modern perspective (read: my bad memory). of course this scene is actually incredibly sweet, wherein my boy abruzzi takes on the fbi. they tell him to surrender his weapon to them and get on his knees. abruzzi looks around, emptying the officers bowels as he looks each of them in the eye, then says “i kneel only to god. i don’t see him here.” pulls out his pistol and gets shot to death! TOTALLY AWESOME

of course, because fox is evil (or because the show wasn’t making any money and had exhausted itself creatively… which is a far more realistic explanation) prison break is going to be done in four episodes :(. i am slightly to very choked about this. the way these characters get thrown into prison and then proceed to break out of them is enjoyable. the characters are pretty sweet, i have had inspired discussions with friends about which character could beat up other characters. wow i got sort of nostalgic thinking about those conversations which might be sad?

but seriously now that this show is off the air, i have only two (three-ish) to keep me occupied:

- 24 I am in LOVE with this show. Like all males aged 18-24, jack bauer is my idol and i hope to meet him someday even though he is a fictional character (if i met the actor who plays him i would be very disappointed if he introduced himself by his real name, kiefer). the show can get pretty ridiculous at points (at this point, a nuclear bomb has detonated in L.A., the president has been evil, and jack bauer has killed over 100 people). i would not be surprised at some point if jack bauer was sent into space to stop an asteroid. but i guarauntee if that happens i will be all like, “oh sweet!”

- LOST this show is nuts and i dont know if they will ever fully explain everything.

and yet, i have had dreams about it. the characters are the best ever on any tv show, the island is nuts, and when it ends next year i may physically shed tears. i am not afraid to admit that.

- Heroes (sorta) okay this show was good for one season, like pretty good. pretty entertaining. then season two came along and was like throwing up after eating too much cake (good metaphor? i dunno). season three has been ok. i keep telling myself im gonna stop watching this show but it hasn’t happened yet.

i honestly dont know why i told yall about all that. but thats what i watch on tv. errr… poop in bed.

i have watched 7 of the 10 friday the 13th movies in the past five days. probably not a healthy thing to do. friday the 13th part 5 was one of the worst experiences of my life. entirely boring and horrible. not like the others aren’t…

but this was a recurring phrase from one of the people watching with us. “why go into the shed? seriously! what is in your head that would make you think that was a good idea!” “ok! you knocked him down! don’t expect he’s dead! he’s obviously unconcious! stab him! he’s going to wake up and come kill you later! make sure of it!”. multiple times we said “the people on the movie can’t hear you” but to no avail. they are pretty frustrating movies, i admit.

and yet. i am sure that tomorrow i will be watching parts 8, 9, and 10, wherein jason is brought into the future. uhh.. .ok. not good movies.

bye, joel.
