TV crushes
by Denise Sawicki on May 8, 2009
I need to apologize for the rather fangirlish reference in my last goo. I was having a little crush on Marcus Cole when I made the goo... that is my justification.
When I say 90210 in the rest of this post it is perhaps incorrect because I mean in fact "Beverly Hills 90210", the old one, not this new one that came on TV this year that is called just "90210"... which I have very little interest in... but anyway...
Um, speaking of TV crushes is it just me or does Dylan on 90210 look quite a bit like Spike on Buffy ? :P He doesn't have the insanely prominent cheekbones really but there is this weird resemblance. They both have eyebrow scars, although on opposite eyebrows. Can you imagine how bored a person has to be to notice something like that?!?... I don't really have a thing for Dylan though. Spike is just more interesting. And he definitely dresses better, and there's the cool fake accent :P I read a theory actually that Luke Perry's character in the original Buffy movie (which bears very little resemblance to the series) played an early version of Spike. The character name was Pike... and while not a vampire he was supposed to be a cool dude... hmmm...
Anyway, I am not sure why people hate on Beverly Hills 90210. It seems like a good show. I would definitely say it seems better than our previous obsession, The O.C, which seems to have stolen a lot of their plot lines besides. The season 2 xmas episode we just watched was beyond dorky though. But it has usually been quite good, so far. Bringing it back around to the beginning of my post, Marcus is supposed to appear in 5 episodes of 90210 coming up 4th season. Yay...
90210 does kind of tend to have a moral in every episode and be a bit dorky, so it is kind of a cross between Little House on the Prairie and a more modern teen drama.... But hey... I love Little House on the Prairie, too.
I'm probably going to get embarrassed and delete/edit this.

The Two Towers
So last week Darrell's friend Mike discovered on Wikipedia that Galesburg, North Dakota, a town near where Darrell and Darrin grew up and where they often hung out at the cafe, actually has the third tallest structure in the world. I find the photo on the wikipedia page rather amusing, by the way, due to its unusual dimensions. Upon discovering this, Mike, Darrell, and Darrin immediately drove out to pay the tower a visit.

Four recent adventures with free desserts: 1. We had not much to do on Saturday morning so, against our better judgement, we decided to go to the furniture store, who had sent us a coupon offering free breakfast and a free gift to "preferred customers". Breakfast turned out to be doughnuts. Go »New Camera
I didn't realize you could get a digital camera for $15 now... Once I became aware of this fact, I had to have one! Darrin got rid of his camera phone and this will serve the same purpose. Go »goodbye dialup...
So, I've finally got some form of high speed internet though it's probably the slowest high speed they make (512 k). I like it though. It is so much better than what we had before. Go »D&D update
The guys made it to 4th level and then we added 2 new characters. We had a dragonborn warlord and an elf ranger, at 4th level we added an eladrin wizard and a dwarf fighter. Darrell is playing the fighter and warlord, Darrin has the ranger (though he's not exactly into the game so we're lucky if we're able to call him to the table to actually make his dice rolls) and I got the wizard even though I'm DM :-P.

We all have our nerdy crushes. More than one Survivor contestant has inspired a crush here, and Maura Tierney on ER. Then again, I somehow made it through five Star Trek series without being attracted to any of the women, not counting a high school crush on Terry Ferrell. Rosalind Chao was almost in the DS9 cast; I guess she counts.
