I went to the mall yesterday; shocking, I know. I had to get a haircut and some dinner though. You see, my Grandmother/Uncle got me a gift certificate to Garfields for Christmas. I decided to wander through Waldenbooks while my food was cooking as it was right across the hall from the restaraunt, and I discovered something horrible. Clay Aiken has an autobiography. It gets worse. When I searched Amazon for that link, I found that there is not one, but more like 10 books about Clay Aiken. He even wrote a few of them. I know you don’t believe me, so here’s proof. Why? Do we really need published material about him?
I just thought that was a little ridiculous. It probably wasn’t worth a rant like that, but I was bored. In other news, I’ve been watching a lot of House lately. I shot through most of season 1 this week, and I’ve decided that it’s a good show. It has got me thinking that they should make a dramatic show about an genius engineer.
Just think of the possibilities. The main focus of the show could be him doing some major problem solving. He’ll attempt a solution, and when it fails, he’ll call tech support. Then repeat 4-5 times until the hour is up and it’s time for victory. The drama would have to come from deadlines, of course. “If we don’t get this motor spinning by next Friday, the project is going to be scrapped by the CEO.” That’s just as exciting as, “If he doesn’t get a new kidney, he’ll die,” right?
The supporting characters could be a bit of a problem. There would be the brainy but shy white-guy understudy. Then the brainy but shy asian-guy understudy. His weird and gregarious white-guy peer. And who could forget the lover interest. He’ll fall slowly in love with that vixen of a receptionist while the sexual tension builds between him and his semi-attractive female understudy.
I think it could work.
