after a long day of installing software and mysteriously slicing my finger open on god knows what I settled down to watch some tv. I made mashed potatoes with cheddar cheese and had a good long sit in front of the tube. I've been obsessed with the Travel Channel ever since I randomly came across Anthony Bourdain's show. Ever since I've been hooked.
My recent favorite was on tonight, Man v. Food. The premiss of the show is that this lovely, pleasingly plump young man named Adam Richmond goes all over the country in search of foodie joints with foodie challenges. He eats and eats and goddamn eats till the cows come home.
I have a strange confession to make. I judge people on the way they eat. I think it's very telling the way people consume what keeps them alive, their facial expressions, their mannerisms, their manners at the table and most of all the way they chew. I can tell right away if I like someone based on these four things. The way they dance, walk, laugh and eat. Adam Richmond happens to be a fantastic eater. I love it. He consumes food like a king and it is a wonderful thing to watch.
Seriously, watch this show and tell me if Adam Richmond isn't just the most fabulous eater ever.
This show just happens to be one of the few causes of stress in LRC and I's relationship. He hates this show with a passion and frankly just about every other show I watch. Which is just fine because I hate every show he watches.
I tend more towards the more serious cultural shows and he simply can't turn off the Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon and though we don't agree on most tv shows we can agree on VH1 which we both watch religiously.
But, all I need is my VH1, HBO, Travel Channel and A&E for Paranormal State, who's new season is coming up abruptly on us very soooooon. Which is powerfully exciting.
Tomorrow the Ratpack and I are off for some grocery shopping at La Casa Del Pueblo in Little Mexico. And then for some going out in the world.
