Go, Diego, Go! (Work that dress, girl!)

So lately I've come to realize that my only television exposure these days has been to either Logo or Nick Jr.  I've begun joking to my friends that I'm going to start having nightmares about Go, Diego, Go! in drag.  I joke, but it could happen.

Lately that's all I see.  My son is going on four and most of his TV viewing interests are geared towards Nick Jr.  I see Diego, Kai Lan, Dora, Max and Ruby, and Olivia more than I see my own friends and family.  Sometimes their songs get stuck in my head, often in a loop.  Even worse is when they turn into a medley.

I also have a one year old.  She is a miniature ball of energy that doesn't stop moving until she lays down at night. 

By the time I get some grown-up time to myself, it's almost my bed-time.  Inevitably I'll spend thirty minutes or more searching for something decent to watch before bed.  Just lately, most of my 'good' TV has been on the Logo channel.  For those of you not in the know, that's the LGBT friendly channel.  So I've gotten to see loads of Buffy re-runs (I guess because Willow turned gay.  Yay, Willow, you did something right!)   While getting sucked into episodes I've seen half a dozen times or more, I've also forgotten to change the channel after Buffy ends.  This will often lead to me watching something I'd never considered watching before.  Such as, Ru Paul's Drag Show.  LOVE IT!  Except now I'm totally fascinated.  Season 2 justs started and now I'm desperate for the next episode.  I want to know why the queens won't talk about how you tuck.  I wonder these things...because some of these girls look better in a dress than I do.  I also wonder about their make-up.  Is it so over-the-top because it's made for stage?  Or is it just a whole different visual culture?

Just when I'm ready to try another channel, on comes The Birdcage.  So it wasn't a huge hit.  I loved it.  I loved it so much that I saw it in the theaters about eight times.  (No, really, I did.)  I have it on DVD.  Yet, when it comes on TV, I still can't turn it off.

So now, thanks to Logo and Nick Jr., I fully expect to have weird dreams where Dora is really Diego wearing a wig and where Ru Paul yells "Swiper, no swiping!"

Somebody help me.
