Chester A. Arthur fall down.

I had it again last night:

Brain: Hmm. I could really go for watching some Torchwood right now.

Me: WTFF??

I was cooking and had just eaten a tiny piece of raw garlic, and so I'm blaming that this go-round.

However, I was watching this thing on the History Channel about all the American presidents, right up until they suddenly stopped at Chester A. Arthur and went on to a show about Star Wars. HMPH. You'd think that on President's Day they'd be marathonning the whole series. HMPH, I SAY. I was happily getting edutainment!

P.S. I really need to catch up on DW watching. Yikes.

Same here, even though they broke my brain last week, and I'm still recovering.

This was basically my reaction. You may have seen the original macro that someone made from this audio, but the audio is the best part. This was an actual phone call. Ask [livejournal.com profile] tsukara and she will tell you, this is exactly what my reaction was to last week's episode.

He better not really be dead or I'll have to set my Daleks on the BBC again.

If it helps to know, the rest of them are showing at 6am(central time) on some weekdays. I've been TiVoing them because I...okay, I'm kind of a sad person. Well, that and I realized I'd forgotten a lot of American history in favor of Euro history, so I'm using them as a refresher course. Edutainment rocks harder than geology!

I'll have to watch that when I get home. :)

6 a.m.? Stupid channel! Hmm. Do I even remember how to work my VCR any more?

My brain this morning. "It's Tuesday! You know what that means, Katherine? Torchwood tomorrow!!!!!" *brain goes on to re-freak out about Owen*

Me: Um, please calm down...?

I was really bothered yesterday by the lack of Presidential stuff on television. I was really looking forward to some West Wing, or the American President, but nadda. Zip. Not even Air Force One was on. Psh.

Oooh, I could really go for some West Wing again. I got tired of it when Bravo (I think) ran it endlessly a year or so ago. But I could totally start watching that show again.

I hope it wasn't an alphabetical list otherwise that must have been a very short program!

HEH. No. Chronological. :D

HA! I didn't even know that! I think I had them all memorized at one time, but do I remember? Ha!

Well to be fair, they did stop before talking about Chester A Arthur so I had the advantage over you there!

When you watch it next week you can shout it out before the narrator and be all smug in your knowledge!

BWAH! That's so awesome someone actually put the macros and sound together.

Yeah, I've been on a TW spree these last few says, so I think I understand how you must feel :) Stupid addictive show, eh? *pets stupid addictive show*

The weird part is that there's really no reason for me to be addicted! O_O

Innit though? It sounds so hilarious and as I said, My. Reaction. Exactly.
