What I did this weekend
Oh, it was an exciting weekend at Casa del Bart, let me tell you.
First, I decided I was finally going to get around to watching a cult classic - Twin Peaks. How had I missed a cult classic? I guess I was too young for cults at the time. If you have also missed it, let me save you some time. Don't bother.
It was like watching two shows. One was a kind of quirky detective show set in a small town (but with an FBI agent inexplicably involved). That part was OK, if you can get past the 80's haircuts, fashion, and synthesized music.
The part that wasn't OK was the part that was like a bad teen drama. Bad, like badly written, and terribly acted. There was so much melodrama and overacting that I was distracted. Maybe that crap flew in 1990, but my drama palate is a little more developed than that.
And don't get me started with the goddamn backward talking dancing hell-midget.
After watching the pilot episode and the first 3 (or was it 4?) episodes of the first season, I figured I was done with the show. Ah well. I got to see a very young Lara Flynn Boyle.
What else did I do for entertainment? We actually broke out the Scrabble board. I'm not that good (I credit lack of regular practice), and Mrs. Bart trounced me every time. If you're interested, take a look.
