I did not watch any TV last night

I’m sorry. I know I’ve let you down, I’ve let the team down, and most importantly, I’ve let myself down. I instead went to see West Side Story on the big screen, which is truly the ultimate “High School Musical,” at least for me because I was in it in high school. Also, it makes me ashamed on behalf of High School Musical.

Considering I didn’t watch any TV last night, this might have been the perfect opportunity for me to tell my How I Met Kyle Chandler story, but then I realized there really wasn’t ever going to be a perfect opportunity for that story, as it’s not as exciting as the title might suggest, and the title’s not even all that exciting, so I might as well just tell the story quickly otherwise it’ll haunt me for weeks. Kyle Chandler, by the way, is the actor who just got blown to bits as Bomb Squad Guy on Grey’s Anatomy and recently starred as a doodlehead actor in King Kong.

I need to start moving on with my life, so all you need to know is that I was an extra and a stand-in one day in high school for the show Early Edition. You can see me in several shots in the episode, wearing a hideous green corduroy oversized jacket and no bangs, both of which were huge mistakes. I met Kyle Chandler, I shook his pinky (he was carrying a pile of books at the time), and I was on network TV. And I almost, until Monday, completely forgot about it.

Early Edition was the show where he magically gets the newspaper a day early, and then has to stop horrible things from happening. It’s okay, I didn’t watch it either. Which may be why I forgot all about my pinky-shake with greatness.

Luckily, I am saved from recounting any other repressed TV memories as tonight we have a new episode of Project Runway to have heart palpitations over. It’s sort of a no-brainer that it’s Kara’s turn to auf Wiedersehen, but perhaps they’re just setting us up for a ridiculous upset. Tension! Excitement!
