Television is my Friend.


Title Sequence From Mannix

Megan and I spent the day lazing about. We haven't done it in forever, and it felt really good to just take a break. We met my dad for lunch at the greek restaurant, megan made some more excellent soy ice cream (this time choklate cooky] and then we watched five hours of Canadian Idol.

I know, what a total and complete waste. I should have been out doing something interesting, or at least reading my book about the Boxer Rebellion, but I just wanted to do nothing today.

Blogger has a new "video upload" feature that I'm trying out today. I downloaded two episodes of Mannix, so here's a clip from the title sequence. I highly recommend it, as it beats Ewe-toob's ass to the ground.

I also downloaded the pilot of Then Came Bronson [it was on a newsgroup, ok? it's not like i sought it out...]. Let me know if you want a copy. I've never actually seen it but I've always wanted to. It's a show about a man who is fed up with his humdrum workaday world, so he says "fuck this" and rides his motorcycle all around America. Our tv friend Michael Parks stars AND sings the theme. You know how I love that. {Lee Majors, anyone?}
