Watching "Monster House."

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

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.
