Exhibit A: The highlight of my day? The arrival of Boney M's Christmas Album. I'm listening to it right now, and now it's finally Christmas in the Procrastination Household. (Side note: my landlady brought down the record, and we got all excited about Boney M and ABBA.)
Exhibit B: I currently have a morbid obsession with this show. I haven't even seen a single episode of it, and mostly have just read about it on its thread on Television Without Pity. Seriously, it sounds like it's so terrible that comes right back around to being awesome. It's like this cooking show where the woman clearly has no idea how to cook, and who puts her greatest effort into her cocktails. The reviews on her recipes on foodtv.com are fascinating, because you have this blend of reviewers who are all "A++++++!!!!111!!!1!!! BEST RECIPE EVER!!!!1!!! THIS IS A NEW FAMILY FAVORITE!!!! THANK YOU SANDRA LEE AND THANK YOU FOOD NETWORK!!!!111!!! ALL THOSE HATERS ARE JUST JELLUS!!!" And then you get a bunch of reviews (beyond the ones that make fun of her mispronunciations of words, apparent alcoholism, and over-usage of the word "Woot!") that are along the lines of "That was a great big waste of time and money. That ham ruined my Easter dinner. My husband asked me never to make that recipe again." And these extremes are just mesmerising to me. And I dearly hope that they're still re-playing this episode when I get home and back to cable TV.
Really, I want to watch this show with my mother-in-law, because Sandra Lee is against everything that my MIL stands for: good food made from scratch. I'm hoping that my MIL responds to it as she did to that "happy trees" painting show: infuriation and incredulity that such a show would be on TV. And at least Bob Ross was fairly talented.
And there are two more ways in which I'm crazy. (As I groove to "Zion's Daughter.")
