So, the old bat is getting out of the nursing home tomorrow at 11:00, so we get to go pick her up. *sigh* After that, we've got to go down to Sears so I can get a state photo ID made for the plane trip. Since I'll probably never get my permit at this rate, a state ID is better than nothing. And it's necessary to identify myself at the airport so they won't think I'm really with Al-Qaida and only PRETENDING to be a red-haired, blue eyed caucasian woman named Sarah Perry and my name is actually Hassad Rajiv Muhammad Abdul Jaharah Muktav IV. *rolls eyes*
I just realized I didn't squee over M*A*S*H today. I guess because the first episode was the tongue depressers one AGAIN ::snarl:: and there wasn't much to squee about that I haven't already squeed about. Well, except for the scene where Klinger was trying to get Charles to do a cooking column in the paper (M*A*S*H Notes!!!!) and talking about how Igor made some great Boston Clam Chowder. Haa.
The second episode was actually one I have a lot of respect for. It was the first episode I ever "saw", at least in recent years (the ones I used to watch when I was in preschool don't count, I hated it then.); 'twas the one where Hawkeye was talking about his cousin Billy trying to kill him. Ohh, good times. I remember my first comment about it, back in May when I was just sitting on Ma's bed listening to Hawkeye screaming "I LOVED HIM!! I LOVED HIM!!!! ....I HATED HIM!!!". I said, "Jeez. I thought this was supposed to be a sitcom."
And there, we have it. Amazing, isn't it? How such a mundane event can turn into a thing of such beauty. ;_;
By the way, I forgot to mention yesterday. When I was TRYING to pay attention to the show yesterday at the nursing home, Grandma managed to go the entire episode without going "Oh, I hate this program, let's watch Wheel of Fortune" or making too many inane comments. But finally, she noticed it was on (o.O) and said, "Oh, Dub used to watch this program. I don't know anything about it... who's a doctor or anything..." Then Hawkeye said something and she said, "Oh, well, he's a doctor!"
But the funniest part was at the end, Klinger for some reason wanted a 3-day leave, and then Grandma said, "Dub used to watch this all the time. You know there was one guy who always dressed in womens' clothing. Well, there he is now. Always wore dresses." Of course, he was wearing nothing of the sort in this episode... awww, poor Max.
I pity that generation, ya know? She saw Klinger in dresses as something disgusting and horribly wrong. Ma's generation thinks it's a fucken scream and occasionally can say, "I used to have a skirt like that". Me, I think it's absolutely adorable and love him for it. I just... pity anyone who doesn't have slash in their life. It's so damn... freeing! Once you've shipped your first slash pairing, baby, there's just no going back. No more restrictions! No more "they're JUST FRIENDS".
Noooo sir. ^_^
I guess I should try to go to bed. *SIGH*.
