Gotta love it...
Do you ever get that feeling that people know you a little too well? Like, you run into someone you know who starts a story with 'Now don't freak out...' just because they can guess you're about to overreact to some bizarre news they are commencing to tell you...? (Like the time the IRS called to tell me that my ex and I were being audited on back taxes and we had a few hundred dollars to pay in, but he had been forewarned to begin the conversation with those 4 words...)
I guess this works in positive ways too. Like last Friday, I'm in Traverse City's Pier One with my boss, and I get a phone call from my brother-in-law Jon.
'Hey Dude, what's up...? Is this a bad time?'
'No, it's alright, I'm just working... (hehe)' I reply.
'Hey, I wanted to tell you, we got the first season of Scrubs in on DVD today at work. It's on sale, and if you pick up a coupon at the door, you can get another 15% off.'
'Sweet,' I say, 'I just read about that DVD release in the People Magazine today. I'm SO in.'
'Alright - I just thought you'd appreciate knowing... Peace.'
And there it is - my family members feeding my addictions. I love Scrubs. I think Zach Braff is kinda strange looking, but still attractive - the humor is clever, sharp, and who can pass up a half hour full of perfectly placed sound effects? You gotta love that every gesture gets some sort of sound effect...
I started watching the DVDs and realized one thing. I should have started watching the show A LOT sooner. I really just got into it this season, but watching the pilot and the first handful of episodes are teaching me some valuable Scrubs trivia I never knew.
Like, did you know JD and Turk were friends in high school, roommates in college AND THEN got residency at the same hospital? Or that Carla was SUPER mean when the show started and she's mellowed out quite a bit? Elliot used to say even worse sticking-her-foot-into-her-mouth comments than she does now, and Dr. Kelso has called the guys 'Sport' even from the first episode.
I think NBC's best move was pairing up Scrubs and The Office on Tuesday nights. I for one thought it was the best must-see TV ever, and felt supremely happy when they aired them back to back.
What am I trying to say here? Nothing really, just a big thanks to my brother in law Jon for pointing me in the direction of such a bargain - and so many hours of happiness.
It's nice to be known...
