Where the Girls Are: Tina Fey

1 Sep 10

Girls in glasses can be so hot.

I’ve traded in my walk again tonight, obstensibly because I got home a little later than normal and really needed to change the Pondza Pondz’ water, but really? I’m tired. Tuckerbelle the Homosexual Dog has, bless his little heart, woken me up these past two mornings much earlier than I’d like to be awake. He’s old and the old boy’s bladder just ain’t what it used to be. Couple that with a lot going on at the fracktory that thankfully isn’t keeping me awake at night, just unable to return to sleep after letting Tuckerbelle out in the dark of the morning and I’ve had a couple of rather long days.

Plus, I’ve still got that Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew DVD set to watch…

And also a computer that won’t copy files onto a disc for burning, though it’s more than happy to burn the freakin’ shortcuts. No matter what I’ve done, the damn thing just won’t keyoppoyate with me and I’ve got to get this disc burned…

But really, it boils down to this: I’m just tired.

I’ve traded in my walk tonight to relive a bit of my distant past:

I found Season Two at the library Saturday and popped in the first disc last night. Funny how something I haven’t thought about for thirty-three years came screaming back at me when the opening credits rolled. Oh, I don’t remember any specific episode at all, but that beginning sequence? DUDE, IT WAS LIKE I WAS SEVEN YEARS OLD AGAIN. I had a huge crush on Shaun Cassidy (yes, that’s right and I’m not embarrassed by it or this simple fact: I owned all of his records) and Pamela Sue Martin (naturally). Parker Stevenson didn’t do a damn thing for me until I was about seventeen or eighteen. By then, I’d outgrown Shaun Cassidy AND Pamela Sue Martin, but watching them now, I can totally get back into that wee-lass-crush I had way back when.

Hopefully I’ll be able to burn through the five discs before Saturday, since I won’t be able to renew the set and I don’t want to pay late fees for it.

Coming up on strange cousin susan will be a post about Nancy Drew, the books, I mean. It’s been in draft form for months now and I haven’t gotten past the post title, but this might serve as its impetus. FUCKYEAHNANCYDREW!!
