Bad Medicine

Here's a gimme for you, n1ce. It's late 80's but I know you know it.

The reason I picked that song is that Cdubya is sick. Been sick all week. Just miserable. She won't go see a doctor either. Says they won't be able to give her anything because it's viral. Personally, I think she's afraid of the bad medicine... ok, I know that was bad, I admit it, but I'm not backspacing over it, you'll just have to live with it. Move along, nothing to see here.

Last night was a lazy one. With her being sick it was quiet time in the dubya house. We watched er and Boston Legal that we had on Tivo. er sucks, not even sure why we keep watching except that we've watched every episode for the last 23 years so I guess we gotta play it out. Boston Legal is consistently funny and thought provoking every week. James Spader is playing the character of his life and has it down cold. Personally, I think he should win an award for it. Shatner, of course, is a total knucklehead with his hate of democrats and irrational fears of dying from his "mad cow disease" (actually alzheimers). He asked Spader to kill him when his brain turns to mush. Spader says sure, he'll pull the plug. Shatner is outraged. He doesn't want to be "turned off", he wants Spader to shoot him. Spader won't do it and Shatner angrily calls him a democrat... If you haven't watched this show before I don't think you would have a problem starting it up now. The shows are self contained and while you won't get the interaction between the characters immediately, it won't take long.

Then came the Olympics. Bobsled? Uh, pretty boring with them staying on the track and not having any other sleds to run into but the US women did win a silver medal. Is Scott Hamilton doing the bobsled announcing as well as figure skating? I swear it's the same thing with that rising crescendo of a voice every time he gets all excited... you gotta wonder how many times he has to change his pants in a night...

The actual girl figure skaters (as opposed to the ones wearing pants last week) started last night. I slept through most of it. *Digging through the sports page* Oh, American Sasha Cohen is in first, followed by the greatest name in figure skating history, Irina Slutskaya. The 2 other Americans are 5th and 7th. I did see both of them skate and both were impressive.

US hockey team lost again. They finished the prelims 1-3-1 but managed to make it to the next round anyway. Don't look for anything from them. They play Finland this morning.

Shani Davis and Chad Hedrick finished silver and bronze respectively in the 1500 speed skating and then were cordial to each other. What?!?!??! How can that be??? NBC wasn't too happy about it apparently so they spent a half hour picking at the scab until finally Davis says something about not getting a hand shake and Hedrick comes back with Davis wasn't a team guy and we're back to square one. That's good TV! The NBC execs are very proud, I'm sure. Assholes.

And yesterday's song, guessed correctly again by KK, who apparently is the only one that
(a) has ever listened to music or
(b) is the only one playing this game.

It was Blood, Sweat and Tears. Released in 1969.

David Kelly always likes to push the edge a little which always makes his shows unique. Spader and Shatner together are awesome. And to think I used to despise Spader when he always played a creep in those teen movies. He's kind of like Jimmy Conners that way. Hated when young but loved as the old man. I guess as we get older we get a little more lovable. That's what I keep telling myself anyway! ;)

I'll have to say I haven't seen them in concert but I know the song. Here's a blast for the past, that band reminds me of Ms Moody from the AFM days. She said she played drums in a band an the did a lot of covers of BonJovi.
