Watching "Monster House."

"Enough idle chatter. Time to break stuff." Hee. I think I have a new personal motto.

that icon is priceless...I'm thinking of printing it out and showing to my mother.

(she broke her foot running away from one my hamsters that got loose when I was a kid. She laid on the floor and screamed bloody murder because the hamster was running around her making noises, she said she thought it was going to eat her. And people wonder where I get my insanity.)

Speaking as one who has never seen that movie: I think I do too.

"Monster House" isn't a movie, silly, it's a TV show, and it's a riot. It's on the Discovery Channel, and what happens is this team of carpenters comes to your house, kicks you out for the week, and completely redo your house according to a theme. (Which actually works out way better than it sounds.)

This week, they were doing an old English pub theme, and it turned out great. They knocked out an old bar and built one with a revolving top for games and things, a beer tap, a pool table, French door, smoking manhole covers and cobblestone pathways in the backyard, and a motion-sensor that lit up a silhouette of Jack the Ripper on the back wall. I want that house NOW. *G*

Sounds a little cheesy, but it's way cool. Plus, there's always the breaking stuff portion of the show to look forward to. Scares the hell out of the homeowners, too. :)

Ooooooooh, like Trading Spaces or something?

*really doesn't watch TV like, ever*

Yup, kinda. Except the Monster House team has five days, none of them have ever worked together before, and they're doing massive repairs and remodeling as opposed to redecorating stuff. They're the kind of people who come in, take one look at a place, and say, "Okay, we're knocking down all of these walls, the oven should spew fire when you open it, there needs to be a lifesize volcano and a small pygmy village constructed in the driveway, and we have to find a way to light this place by tying thousand of fireflies to the wall with itty bitty nooses."

The Monster House boys love themselves a challenge. *maniacal giggling*

Ah, so it's more of a Queer Eye meets Home Improvement meets heavy psychodelic drugs sort of show.

I like.

Hehe, that's a beautiful quote.

That's as good as 'I have to go now. The brawl is starting.' -- my friend Meredith to our friend Nancy backstage during a performance of Romeo and Juliet. Meredith was playing Benvolio. *g*

Heh. I was just going to talk about Monster House in my journal today, and admit that I've been watching it in secret for a while now.

There's always one guy who's a whining ass, and that John guy filled the role pefectly last night.

I totally want a Jack the Ripper of my own.

Oh, what a moron. Two days to put a closet around a hot water heater? Damn, I'm just a contractor's kid, and I could do it faster than that.

Remember that guy from a few weeks back, the one who got done with what he had to get done and then just sat back and drank Cokes and got yelled at by Steve for not pulling his weight? After seeing that episode, how much I liked that guy was inversely proportionate to how much I wanted to do Steve. *snuggles snarky, loud-mouthed host*

Me, too, me, too! *user bounces happily*

And before anybody says anything, no, I don't mean literally. Sheesh.

As much as I might like dead prostitutes littering the backyard ... no. Just, no.

Oh hell yeah. That was the best one in terms of slackitude. That guy SUCKED.

Mmmm...Steve.
