Okay, here's the question: if you had the chance, would you let yourself be made "bionic?"
I watched the series premiere tonight of the new "Bionic Woman." It's pretty hard for me to put aside my nostalgic love for the original (and seriously, how sad is it that the Bionic Woman now sells mattresses on TV infomercials?) but I have to say, I'm kind of liking this new show.
So, anyway -- would YOU become bionic? Because the new Jaimie Sommers is not at all happy about it. I spent the first half of the show saying, "what the heck is HER problem?"
Todd was feeling pretty sympathetic to ol' Jaimie, I think, until I pointed out that the alternative to the bionics was being a triple amputee with a bum ear who was blind in one eye.
"Oh, yeah," he said.
Overall, I think I'm in favor of super powers. I heard once about a personality test which asks you to choose between being able to fly and being invisible. Something about people who choose to be invisible are sneaky and stuff, and they like . . . well, being invisible.
Okay, so maybe I don't really remember what the results of that particular personality test were supposed to be. But it's big fun to think about, isn't it? To me, it's no contest at all. I would choose flying.
No more waiting for the bus or paying to park. No more searching around for the cheapest airline. Nope, not me. I'd just fly myself on vacation. Cool.
I feel like such an adult these days -- I've started telling Todd my wishes in the event of some life tragedy:
1) No airbrushed t-shirts saying "RIP Kara", and
2) If the opportunity should arise, he should TOTALLY make me bionic.

I second you on the RIP shirt. Surely Todd would have better taste than that, but it's still good to let him know where you stand just in case.
I wondered how that Bionic Woman show would be. I may have to check that out...
