Sweet Brad came over this evening. We watched the news together. We were going to watch an old favorite Logan’s Run. But instead we got side tracked and watched Playing it Straight and Wonderfalls on Fox.

Fox in general is a shitty network. They take other popular shows and tweak them just enough to put them on their network. Playing It Straight is a take off of Boy Meets Boy on Bravo that was on this past summer. Playing It Straight is about a straight woman trying to find love and money among 14 guys. The twist is that some of the 14 guys are gay. They don’t know who is gay and who isn’t. In the first episode she meets the guys and they all find out that some of the guys are gay. No one comes out because if she picks a gay guy then the gay guy gets a million dollars. If she picks a straight guy they split a million. By the end of the first episode she has to pick two guys to leave the ranch. She did and turns out both the guys she picked were straight. All the guys are good looking and could be gay or straight. It was hard to tell. We haven’t found out who is gay yet and I don’t think we will. I thought it was a stupid show. The girl started crying at one point and it was so lame. She had only met the guys a few hours before and was already crying. Doubt this show will provide anything but humor while it runs it’s course.

Wonderfalls was a different kind of show. Thom Shales in the Washington Post gave it a good review. I thought it was odd. All these objects kept talking to this girl telling her to do things. I can’t even go into much detail because Brad and I were laying on the couch and I kept nodding off and missing parts. Brad really liked the show. Coming from a guy who doesn’t have a TV or cable, I thought it must say something for the show. I told him he could come back next Friday and watch it again. I doubt I’ll watch it again. There was one part where the sister of the girl who was talking to objects realized she was a lesbian. That’s about the only thing I found interesting. I’m sure if Brad was writing about this show he could tell you so much more. I didn’t care for it and therefore can’t tell you much about it.

I’ve had a busy week and was really tired so instead of staying over, Brad went home. Brad had a very busy week and was tired too so it was best for us both to get some sleep. I have a work related thing all day tomorrow so Brad and I will do something fun tomorrow night I’m sure. I always enjoy spending a few hours with Brad. He makes me think.
