Saturday.

Wow, I almost spent an entire day without an update. Unacceptable! Sorry, folks. I was at work in the morning, final training shift. Hopefully I get an email from the manager soon.
I've got a good update coming later when I will post a poem I just finished writing about Liza Olhovsky... Even though I still can't believe it. <3

So.... I went to church tonight at Synod and Volodya Baros AKA the man in charge of everything asked me to help him carry up wine into the storage room after Prikladovaniye... So I'm wheeling it on the... wow, I can't remember the word! This is giving me flashbacks to psych class and the tip of the tongue phenomenon! Argh! Theeeee ah! I got it! The hand truck! Alright, so, I'm wheeling the wine on the hand truck through one of the rooms that bishops have meetings in and there's a bookshelf, and the very last book on the shelf, right by the door, is one entitled The Giant Book of Insults. I chuckled. Chortled. Snickered. Giggled. Exaggerated my speech (get it?). And Volodya told me to take the book.... so now I've been sitting here bored and it's got some funny stuff in it! What kind of stuff? Well... keep reading in the upcoming days and I will be posting the best lines. Aha! Suspense.

Alright, next point. Scrubs is pretty much my favorite show of all time. It's not only the funniest show ever created (my apologies to all you hardcore Office fans out there... myself included), but it had some of the best dramatic writing out of any show, ever. Scrubs was at times a better drama than most dramas out there... House, Grey's Anatomy (which actually has some fantastic writers as well), LOST (how much did that show bomb in the last episode?), even 24! None of those can compare to Scrubs at its best. When you take Prison Break and Firefly out of the equation, because both the series were completed and canceled, respectively, Castle is probably my other favorite show. Part of this is because Nathan Fillion is pretty much the greatest TV actor ever behind Neil Flynn, Sam Lloyd, Hugh Laurie and Steve Carrell... but also because the show kicks ass! (that last sentence was half tongue-in-cheek, half a shout out to the great TV actors of the 2000s...) Anyway, my point is... a few years back I watched a clip on YouTube where the Scrubs cast and crew set up a fake scene so that one of the crew could propose to his girlfriend, who held the boom-mic in most takes. It was great. Zach Braff did a great job improvising and it was great seeing how well the cast interact how they are all just really great people behind the scenes... That's one of the other reasons I always felt a special connection with Scrubs (no homo).

Flash forward now to today. I'm scrolling through Scrubs clips on YouTube, like I often do when I'm bored, and I came across that proposal clip again. It still made me as happy as ever, 'cause it truly is a great moment to be caught on film... well, then I looked through the comments (another thing I do when I'm bored...) and the girl who was involved in the proposal actually commented from her own YouTube account, saying it was great for her to see that moment all over again.... Now of course I didn't right away believe that to be the same woman, but her name is Anna in the clip and that girl had Anna in her account name so I clicked it, and on her account there are 2 videos. One is of her baby sneezing, the other is of her surprise baby shower on the set of Castle. And her one Favorite video is the Scrubs proposal. So I watch that Castle video, and lo and behold, it's the same woman, years later... and the cast of Castle surprised her with a baby shower in a similar set-up... only this time she thought she was part of the take. And now I know that even aside from Nathan Fillion, the other people behind Castle are just as awesome as the ones behind Scrubs. So that pretty much made my day. Also, props to Anna for being so loved by everyone too. She must love her job.

Here are the two videos, for those who want to see... for the sake of saving space in this ridiculously long update I will just put the links and not embed the videos. Let me know what you think! I'm expecting comments! Especially from all you Scrubs and Castle fanatics!
