I'm Freshly Showered, That Should Count For Something
Who would have ever thought that Rick Springfield could ever be good at anything? Not me or you or anyone else. But that didn't stop the powers that be behind Californication (We call him Dave around the office) from using him...I think this was the second episode---Glass Houses---in a row, maybe the third that he has been in...and proving all of us wrong.
Rick is not only interesting and funny but he's a pretty decent actor as well. I know it sounds impossible but it's true and it's yet more evidence that Californication is the best show on TV. It's all also further evidence that you shouldn't just dismiss second rate soap opera actors and pop singers because they might just have a lot of hidden talent.
But what about teenagers? Are they ever good for anything? I ask that because while I think that Hank and Karen are really overreacting to a lot of things that Becca is doing but there are other things that I think they are right to be upset about. And her little friend Chelsea, who I used to like until she made that crack about Karen's apartment being too small ("I've seen bigger dorm rooms," Is how she put it, I think) and how based on that, she isn't economically sound enough to raise her own daughter and now I think she should shipped off to a private boarding school in Switzerland run by ex-Nazis for five years or however long it takes to adjust her attitude.
The wine thing was, along with Hank's advice on how to cope with being really drunk and Becca throwing up on Dean Koons, very funny but I can understand how it made her parents angry. And what are they going to do now? Drag her back to New York out of spite?
Maybe. But only for an episode or two at most, because the name of the show is Californication. They are locked into California. What they could do, and I wonder if Becca has considered this, is move to a small, rural and very dull town in California, and there are are plenty to choose from and then growing up for her would be just like it was for me...only with a nicer climate.
I suspect, though, that Karen will just move back to LA and they'll all just somehow work their way through Becca's growing pains. And Hank's sleeping with his T.A., student/stripper and (Very soon now) boss (And Chelsea's mother) all at the same time.
You could almost feel sorry for Karen if it weren't for the fact that she already knows that all this is going to happen. So let's forget that and just concentrate on the three-way lesbian scene between Jackie, Jill and Felicia which should be coming any minute now.
And will Karen just give up and go with the flow, so to speak and join in and make it a four-way lesbian scene? That's what I'm betting on because I'm not a downbeat negative pessimistic psychic vampire like you. And maybe if you could be upbeat and positive like for me for once, we could, through mass intention, make it happen.
