Television makes me roll my eyes a lot.
So there's going to be this new show in the fall (I guess), "Ugly Betty" is the name, and it is based on the Columbian telenovela "Betty La Fea" (oh, what a creative American title they have slapped on that, creative I tell you), and it is about an ugly secretary with no fashion sense who works at a fashion magazine. Which, okay, I expect such things from television. Except Ugly Betty is played by AMERICA FERRERA WHO IS SO NOT UGLY.
What is really, really sad is I am tempted to watch it because she is so wonderful I want to watch everything she does, even something as horrible sounding as this. (I have this urge to watch Lords of Dogtown again back to back with Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.)
Also of note in the not interesting and/or overdone premise but I will watch for the actors is "Day Break" which has Adam Baldwin and Victoria Pratt. Now, just for Adam Baldwin, probably would not watch (though, tempting), but VICTORIA PRATT. I WATCHED HOUSE OF THE DEAD 2 MORE THAN ONCE. IN A ROW. FOR HER. So obviously my ability to reason fades directly in proportion to her.
Crap it is time for bed already. I have been struggling with this backup fic for the happy endings ficathon which is actually going great, except I AM NO WHERE NEAR THE HAPPY ENDING. I know how it will end, and I know how to get there, but I might have created an entire alternate universe with this story without intending to do so and now I feel bad because it is taking so long to get there. But I continue to slog away at it and eventually it will be done (hopefully by the end of the week).
Sleepy time now.
Also I am still not feeling well. It may be the lack of sleep last night, because I had started to feel better yesterday evening and then couldn't sleep. So tonight, I sleep. Tomorrow is kickboxing and I will feel better for it, I will.
