From x-entertainment, I'm recovering from an all-night pre-4th bender, so this will be brief. Happy 4th of JOO-LIE! (And to those of you in other nations, happy Wednesday!) We don't have anything planned for the rest of the day, and I'm just now realizing that I completely forget to pick up gigantic steaks yesterday, leaving me with nothing to grill but a couple of bell peppers and a red onion. So, no barbecue…no fireworks…I'm the worst American ever.On the other hand, traditions come in all shapes and sizes. What's that I'm seeing on my television set at this very moment? A motherfuckin' Twilight Zone marathon. Yes! And God is on my side today, because I caught it just at the start at one of my very favorite episodes, "Eye of the Beholder." You know the one. Bandaged freak girl stuck in a hospital having multiple reconstructive surgeries to look normal…but when the bandages come off, it's a SWERVE!
…because in this world, being beautiful means looking like a cross between a pig and "Influence" from Dick Tracy. There's a lot of great episodes left in the marathon, which runs until 5 AM on the Sci-Fi Network. Check it out if all Independence Day means to you is a license to do nothing.

TV Marathons are one of the best things about holidays in this country. If I owned a cable channel we'd have at least one marathon a month.
Wow, I just realized a comprehensive Simpsons marathon would take nine days. Sign me up!
