i just want to make out in the sand

i was watching MTV tonight super made or whatever when somewhat famous people do made and diem the cancer survivor from road rules wanted to be made into a ballroom dancer. anyway her coach was paul. and i was like that paul looks just like this guy named paul that was a ballroom dancer at byu that i used to hang out with nine years ago and he made out with my friend summer and i think my friend jen and i am reasonably sure we cuddled once or twice. and then i realized it was the same paul. i verified it with a quick google search. i think its so funny when you see people you know on tv. once i kissed a guy who was a newscaster in idaho or somewhere but i never saw him on tv or anything.

cookie bouquets continued...

you know what is an appropriate sweet sixteen present? this cookie bouquet. you know what isnt appropriate? any of the things they do on MTV's sweet sixteen birthday party show. i think my faith in humanity might be permanently shaken from viewing this particular MTV program (real world and next are so contrived and made for consumption that its harmless) but there are really people that are that have really expensive parties for their real sweet sixteen party. here is the deal. people say they are scared of the world when they watch the news and they realize all the crime and war and problems and meanness and anger that goes on. but i think what is more scary is my sweet sixteen party. i watch that show and i think if i was poor and my family was starving to death and i was watching my sweet sixteen party and a family spent twice as much on invitations for some lame ass party than my family made in an entire year i would probably consider armed robbery. thats why i think sweet sixteen is the most offensive show on tv and encourages crime. i dont think children should be allowed to watch it. it should come with one of those adult ratings.

and thats why i get pretty sad when my sweet sixteen party is on and not maui fever.

24 ways to improve 24 (or 3)

i have never really watched 24. i think its kind of an interesting idea though. one hour per episode and then one day is the whole season and one spy who saves the world in that one day. to bad the actual show isnt interesting.

i have never really watched the show but i find myself already bored with it (this is coming from a girl that isnt bored by the real world). i did view the season premiere with the rest of america. but i must say unlike the rest of america i couldnt see what all the hype was about. like jack is the ultra hero who sacrifices everything for his country and is just itching to get out of Chinese prison where he is being tortured so that he can be tortured by the arabs because that MEANS something but when the torture loses its meaning he escapes so that he can save LA from the seemingly nice arab family terrorist cell next-store before they can bomb the nearest subway. ok besides the fact i found the entire plot racist and contrived....perhaps the biggest offense was that it was boring. the whole thing is just too easy.

now here are MY ideas for 24.

jack turns against america and kills all those really annoying fbi guys and half the staff at the white house and he maims the president before retiring in thailand and starting a chain of hamburger restaurants. he wants to convert to mormonism but decides he cant stop drinking coffee.

jack is about to stop a bomb from going on that will kill like EVERYONE and he gets appendicitis and is like THIS is how it ends and has to deal with meaningless death (like everyone else). and said bomb goes off. (i also toy with the idea of him getting food poisoning or falling in the shower). i like this idea a lot because jack dies and LA gets blown up (which my friend todd said is part of the appeal of 24, seeing LA get blown up bit by bit).

tony blair is pissed that his affiliation with george bush has ruined his career so he starts sending over little old british ladies to poison all the water supplies in america. somehow this story line involves tea. i am not sure how. and by the time jack figures out who the real enemy is its too late. besides he cant bring himself to kill the british lady terrorists because they remind him of his granny.

ok those are my only ideas so far. but i find them more interesting than the current plot which i could have written in my sleep (when i was in law school i used to write papers and memos in my sleep. they were all really bad. as is 24). stay tuned for my thoughts on greys anatomy. which is shittier than 24. who knew it was possible.
