Cho Show Glows

Back in 1994, when Margaret Cho starred in "All American Girl," I was enthralled by her dry sarcasm. Apparently, the producers didn't appreciate it as much as I did, and they and others sent her on a terrible tailspin down Losing Weight and Being Yourself land. Poopy shit on them. Cho's newest endeavor, "The Cho Show" debuted on VH1 Thursday night, but The Wifey and I caught it on LOGO on Monday, which = weird, because VH1 did all this promo stuff and LOGO, well, kind of didn't. Point of the story is that you can catch it on VH1 on Thursdays or on LOGO well, whenever they decide to play it again. To check, visit here, but be warned: LOGO's sked does not make sense in terms of regular viewing times.

AnyWAY, the show is awesome and totally worth tuning it to. She's surrounded by gays, loves the queers and says interesting things to her parents. It's all wonderful. I promise. Bonus: She loves tattoos.

So I've been thinking about tattoos

It's true. I just passed my (*covers mouth and mumbles*) birthday without getting one, and here's the thing ... I have 3 tiers of tattoo ideas and two are already kind of impractical.

Tier one: a design that has a lot of significance when you consider my academic background. Unfortunately, a person that's very close to me got the same design (it's relatively well-known among nerds in that field), so that's just out of the question now.

Tier two: Unsolvable equations. Rad. Possibly. Although I've been thinking about this for years, my current favorite location (the inside of my forearm) doesn't really support the whole can-I-hide-these-for-interviews thing when you consider how large they'd have to be to get the whole equation in there.

Tier three: Lower case symbols for alpha and beta, one on the right arm and one on the left. Nerdy? Hells yes. Practical? I'm not so sure. They'd be small and easily hidden, but I worry about the Fratty McSorority connection. Still, I'm pretty sure that the average person isn't going to see Former Greek Life Lover when they look at me ...

Okay, I've thought about all three forEVER. I really need to just go and do it, although I'm slightly worried about Tres Bien's approval*. My posting this is my way of publicly shaming myself should I decide to renege. Anyone know a great tattoo place in the D.C. region? Hit me!

*TB is the same person who verbally prods me every single time I go up a gauge in my ears. "Has it been two months?" is the stock phrase. Now, whenever anyone I know goes up a gauge, I find that I have to ask the same thing. Also, "Did you use oil?". Thanks, Tres Bien!
