Final Answer

I want to be a game show host.

I did not, in fact, decide this after watching Slumdog Millionaire, although I did watch that last night. The movie was pretty good and well made, but I don't really understand the hype that was built up. My friends and family who'd seen it gave me the impression that it was a life-changing movie, when really it's just a solid love story that appeals to everyone. Maybe it's the novelty for them, but I can recommend several Korean movies at least that I'd say fall on the same level, including My Sassy Girl and that one with the mom's love letters whose name I can't remember (might be Love Letter or something similar).

No, I've just been watching a lot of game show bloopers recently. And game shows, in fact. And game show hosts have it made! They get to kiss and fondle all the female guests, experience hilarity with idiot contestants, have all the answers, and experience a long-term and above-average but not over-bearing state of celebrity... assuming the show is a good one and you're not incredibly dumb like the host of Street Smarts. Of course, I'd still recognize him on the street. And game shows are just fun!

Yet there's one, tiny, eensy-weensy, insurmountable hurdle in my path to the freely giving prize money away future. And I don't mean being a Jew. My research has shown a strong correlation in recent years between being a moderately successful comedian before graduating to game show host status, even in foreign countries like Japan (let's face it, the only one that matters)! Now I have to focus not only on being a comedian but being actually funny! Fiddlesticks.
