Life is Not a Movie

I’ve been somewhat negative lately. I’m sick of the cold weather, I’m probably taking on too many things and too much of my life is devoted to sitting in my car. While in the show I started to think about the little things that bring joy to my life.

• a steamy hot shower.
• a dillhole driver who is cutting people off left and right getting stuck behind a slow driver
• Sheldon making a face, he makes the best faces
• an iced vanilla latte from Starbucks
• a good hair day
• House being snarky
• a new pen
• me being right at the same time someone else is wrong
• an easy car ride just for fun
• one of my furkids falling asleep on my lap
• a friend being there just when you need them, like magic
• chocolate baked goods
• losing weight without trying
• scaring your husband by sneaking up on him because you came home early and he had the music loud again

I started getting into the show Secret Life of a Call Girl for 3 main reasons: I have Showtime for the moment so I figure I might as well try out their shows, I am on a British television kick and something about the life of a high class call girl intrigues me. There you have it, that’s where I started from.

The first season was fun and cute. It’s not raunchy but it is very sexual, if that makes sense. There is nudity and there are sex scenes. The call girl goes by the name Belle for the work she does but her real name is Hannah. Turns out the actress who plays her, Billie Piper, is like England’s version of Brittney Spears, which I had no idea. Don’t let this turn you off of it though, as far as I can tell the only thing they had in common was being a pop star.

I really like how confident but vulnerable Hannah is and that she has a normal but very sexy figure. I like how honest and real she is about sex and relationships. I like that she doesn’t pretend like it’s “normal” or that it’s not something that it’s not. She just really enjoys sex, so she does it for a living.

There are complicated relationships such as with her best mate Ben who clearly is in love with her. In season 2 they bring in Bambi who is starting her career as a call girl and wants Belle as her mentor. She has to deal with her family and making sure they don’t find out what she does. She tries to have romantic relationships but those are even more complicated.

I would recommend this show, for some fun and to be just a wee bit naughty.

So I was watching Big Bang Theory (actually I was watching last week’s again before watching the new one) and I was thinking about how I rarely ever know what any of them are talking about. Then I thought about how I don’t usually know what Manly Man is going on about or Gwen for that matter. There is a reason why they both have to translate each other for me.

As I was watching BBT I was noticing how Penny never gets them, although I will admit she knows a lot less than me as I know who Stan Lee and Adam West is, thankyouverymuch. But I realized that Penny hangs around a bunch of geeks and rarely knows what they are talking about.

Oh shit.

I’m Penny.

*hiding in shame*

So I was thinking this morning about all the cool things everyone else has that I don’t, because yeah…I’m all sunshine and lollipops.

Video Games: We have none, zero, zilch. As a couple we’ve never owned a video game system. Actually I think someone gave us a really old one for free once but we never even hooked it up. I’m not sure we’d play it if we even had one but the point is, we’re one of the only people without a video game thingy.

iPhone: No iPhone, I think I am the last on the planet. Either this means I’m a loser or it means I’m so extra special I don’t need one.

Proper Photography Computer Programs: I don’t have Lightbox or the newest PS or anything really that can do anything interesting with my photos. I have an ancient photoshop and I use Picasa, which is free.

Webcam: I never thought I’d really want one but it might come in handy from time to time, especially when chatting with Gwen and she’s on her webcam but can’t see us, it doesn’t really work right that way.

Energy: I go through phases where I have lots of energy and I have none, I usually blame either the weather or my commute or both. Right now it’s both.
