TV Sightings

You’ll never believe who Brian and I saw on TLC’s A Dating Story yesterday. I think it might have been a repeat because he looked very much like he did in 2001 and I don’t think I looked like I did a couple of years ago (people’s physical appearances change over time, that’s nature), which leads me to believe that it was definitely one of the older episodes re-run. It was none other than Jack Murnighan of Nerve.com fame. They set him up with Marie Claire’s eligible bachelorette of the year. Which year? That I don’t know because I don’t read Marie Claire (I probably will when I turn 30 but right now I don’t).. My bet is that it was 2001.
What upset me (nothing to do with the show folks, the episode was abosultely delightful which is more than I can say for Shipmates my guilty pleasure) is that when I saw him it reminded me of The Naughty Bits (Jack’s book that I own) and when I thought of that I thought of my other Nerve.com book, Full Frontal Fiction (I had it in hardcover too, “had” being the operative word), which I had stolen from my bookshelf at work. It just magically disappeared. I looked up there one day and it was gone. The sad part is I don’t even know how long it had been missing. At least I’m not as psychotic as I once was. That event would have triggered a full-blown nervous breakdown. Ask Brian. I had to tell myself several times, “It’s just a book. It’s just a book.” But I was able to calm down and get on with my life.. err, with my day.
Anyway, I was seriously thinking of selling out again and adding a commenting system to the blog. I found Haloscan (it seemed like a pretty good commenting system) via theharpoon.net and I really seriously thought about it. But then I realized how much I hate getting flamed. At least this way when someone flames me I’m the only who sees it, instead of it being out there for the whole world to read. Yeah, I don’t much like being ridiculed for my stupid, outlandish opinions either. This is my blog, I’m entitled to it. Â
