Okay, so I was just watching the mid-season finale of Monk, and things just kept racing through my mind. Of course, I keep thinking about the phenomenal writing and acting on the show, and the recurring themes on the show, but I was also thinking about what the show says about the people that watch it. Maybe it's just b/c it's late at night and I have way too much time on my hands, but I've noticed that most people on Monk forums tend to be rather obsessive, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, b/c I definitely consider myself obsessive about a number of things. I was thinking about how much the fans have in common with Monk, and I realized that I have a lot of quirks that most people would think were really strange, and I'm not talking as extreme as Monk with the cleaning and everything, but just little weird things I do, like for example, I always have to look at websites in a certain order when I'm online, and the only time I won't is if I'm not at my computer and at a computer somewhere else. I also love to make lists, of really random stuff. I was once counting the number of phone calls in X-Files episodes, b/c I had already seen all the episodes, and I wanted something to do when watching them again. There are others that are much stranger, but they're hard to explain. But back to the show. One thing I noticed is that Monk never gets the girl. The only girl he ever really got was Trudy, and she was taken away from him, so he still never really 'got' her, if you know what I mean. I have theories about what would've happened had Sharona stayed on the show (personally, I think she would've ended up dating Disher, even though it seemed that Monk may have eventually, if he didn't already, have romantic feelings for her). But I realize the show is more about Monk the detective and not his love life, so that's probably why the writers tend to shy away from those things. I could be wrong on this stuff, but I'm a writer, and we tend to notice things like that, intuit things that may happen in the future. Just my thoughts for the day.

So, yeah, not too much happening here. My current annoyances include JD from Rock Star: INXS and well, that's about it. Unless you include, of course, the fact that I can never watch an entire episode of So You Think You Can Dance because it's on at the same time as the results show for Rock Star. But now that I think about it, I have two TVs and I could tape one while watching the other. Duh. Anyways, yeah, yay for you reading my notes to myself. As Mulder would say, "What a crazy caper." (Sorry, I was watching "Chimera" before I came to work, which is where I am. Some work I'm doing, lol.) *sigh* Tonight = Whose Line at nine, assuming it's actually on. Tomorrow = Packers game! and then What Not To Wear (new episode!) at 11. I still have no life.
