I have plenty of things to watch on TV these days. [Insert "Distraction" plug #99,789 here.] TV's stock value is very high with me right now, as studying provides moments few and far between to indulge in front of the tube. And it is now the only repose I have because I have to be on lock-down for these last, critical weeks.
So I watch. I watched Jen Schefft's litter of ardent suitors, wondering which empty promises would make the cut this week. (Fabrice, to my genuine dismay -- gay! Exactly the persnickety European that is my type!) I watched "The Surreal Life 4", specifically to catch Adrianne Curry and Christopher Knight on the road to falling in surreal love. America's Top Model and Peter Brady together prove that this is the land of dreams and possible impossibilities. The fortuitous by-product of tuning in was finally taking notice of the godly Marcus Schenkenberg. Sure, I knew about him before -- Calvin Klein and Versace everywhere, erstwhile boyfriend of Pamela Anderson. But only when he is in a house full of has-beens and oddballs do I become truly, truly arrested.
Alex and Tony have been playing the dual roles of agent and publicist for me this week. So many people popped out of the woodwork, with or without my prodding, turning it into one of those banner weeks where I kept getting surprised. It has been all fun, all flattering, and I see that my "dog week" will finally culminate tonight in the airing of the show. Tony mentioned that, in a rare occasion where he left Comedy Central on for longer than a couple of hours, they played my commercial every thirty minutes. "I get it," he said, "Karen is in control of her body." The result is that he hasn't seen me in months, and yet he's sick of me. Ah, well, Tony's moment in game show history is also soon upon us...
I had a disturbing dream last night about not finishing a Contracts essay on the Bar exam. I woke up frazzled. Then I fell back asleep as I dreamed that my dad bought me a Maserati. Proof that sleeping in can cure just about anything.
And, saying it just to say it: I'm going to be on TV tonight!
