It's 2 a.m. and I just finished working out if that tells you anything about how screwed up my schedule is right now.
I also just got an email saying I won an ice cream scoop. That probably doesn't sound like much, but I never win contests. There's a TV gossip column I read on tvguide.com called Ask Ausiello, which is very funny, and written by the 3rd sexiest vegetarian (as voted by goveg.com. The sexiest vegetarian is Kristen Bell, who happens to star in one of my favorite shows, Veronica Mars, which is totally Nancy Drew on acid. I'm serious, if they weren't buried in a closet somewhere, I'd dig out my old Nancy Drew Files series right now [all 124 of them, of which I owned all, thank you very much] and read them all.) I'm so off track. That tends to happen when you get to a point where you're using brackets within parenthesis. Oh, right: Ask Ausiello is also fantastic if you like spoilers, which I do. I fail to see the point of watching television if you don't know what's coming. The anticipation of a thing really is better than than the thing itself, and I want to spend the week anticipating the completely unanticipated and shocking thing that's going to happen on Desperate Housewives that Sunday, knowing full well who's going to die. Anyway, Ask Ausiello, in honor of his 100th column, announced a weekly newletter with extra gossip in it, and the first 100 people to sign up won a free Ausiello Scoop ice cream scoop (seriously, brilliant marketing, there). This is a very popular column (where people actually sit at their computer at 11:59 Tuesday night and hit refresh, waiting for the column to go live at midnight) but I managed to be one of the first 100! I hate email newsletters, and I'll promptly go unsubscribe now that I've won. And I don't eat ice cream, basically, ever. But still. That's beside the point. I won!
*As to the title, I don't even remember where this joke started. But I can't help but say "weeeiner" in my head evertime I hear the word "winner". Can someone remind me please?
