BONES

I would like to dedicate this post to the only other person I know of who feels as passionately about Bones as I do...Stacy LeCheminant...This one's for you.

Bones is intriguing, slightly educational, - I must say I've learned a lot about the hyoid, how to make oxygen from perfume and dust if I'm ever buried alive, and the valuable role dental records play in identifying a body (always go to the dentist), sometimes suspenseful, and even a little romantic - My heart beats faster every time I think Booth and Brennan might kiss. I've never been so entranced by one TV show. I guess it's like a good book, you get to know the characters. They're predictable. You can anticipate how they'll react in certain situations. They become real to you. For example, I think that if I'm ever in trouble - kidnapped by a clown and being fed to snakes, about to be fed to dogs by an FBI mole, or stalked by a serial killer, ]Agent Seely Booth will come rescue me. It would be reassuring, but he doesn't really exist.


I fascinated by Dr. Brennan. She reminds me of a professor I had my freshman year at BYU, Dr. Ruth Toulson. I idolized Ruth. Ironically, she was my Anthropology professor. She graduated from Cambridge. She was blond and beautiful. She had an accent, and was utterly brilliant. Plus, she gave me one of the two A's on the first Essay. I liked her! She taught me that it was okay to be smart, and it didn't mean you were a nerd. Anyways, maybe why I admire Brennan/Bones is because of Ruth. Embarrassing but true: Matt and I took a "Squint" test on the Bones web page...Looks I may be more like Brennan that I thought!


Now, I am not addicted to Bones...I conducted an experiment to prove such. I went one week without watching any Bones. It is totally under my control, and a great thing for me to do while Matt studies and I have to be quite :) Besides, it's not just me who loves Bones, Matt does too! We started watching old episodes on Hulu at the end of August and fell in love. We watched all available episodes on Hulu. Then when Danny and Lena presented us with the gift of netflix, our love was further indulged. I have successfully finished seasons 1 and 2. I am on season 3 while concurrently watching season 6 unfold on Fox. I must say the older episodes are much better in my opinion...

Bones...I love it... Maybe it has to do with being a nurse, maybe Ruth Toulson... I don't know...But I even dream about solving crime with my friends at the Jeffersonian at night. I love Bones, Matt loves it, and Stacy does too.
