So I'm watching "Blind Date", which I haven't seen in a while. Pretty interesting (and amusing) show, and I recommend that all of you losers out there in Blogland who keep failing in your dates watch often and study well! 😀 But seriously, it's wild. This episode has a flabby, uncouth UFC fighter named Wes (Wes!) on a chemistry-less with this ex-stripper lingerie model who looks like a certain author I know. And I watched "A Current Affair" tonight as well! I didn't even know that show was still on. Christian Slater sure leads an interesting life... and with religious group leaders having the ability to seduce their spiritual charges with a mere snap of their fingers, maybe some of y'all out there should become ordained ministers and start your own denominations! R-D-R-R!

Also, "Just Shoot Me" and "Suddenly Susan" are about the only sitcoms I can tolerate these days. I have no idea why that is (though I suspect that it has something to do with the gorgeous Brooke Shields in the latter case). Any guesses?

G'night and have a great weekend, minna-san!

P.S. You NYC people should really go on "Blind Date"! I would! And am I the only one who kinda wants to see The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants? Should I have kept that to myself? I think perhaps I should have.

Two posts back-to-back! Can you tell I'm bored here? 😛

So a week or so ago the lovely Becky Pretz took part in a pass-it-on movie meme deal (in that post, she also took the music meme I posted the other day). I wasn't formally tapped by anyone, but it looked interesting, so I'm passing the magic stick to myself! w00t! So let's go -- it's meme time! Not to be confused with Me-Me, the cheetah with a craving for baby elephant flesh. (You'll get that reference when I review Barbara Gowdy's The White Bone on Scary-Crayon next week! :)) (more...)

Writing this one from work, where I just finished a lengthy two-day battle with adware and viruses on the office computer. I'm still not even sure it was a victory, but at least ads aren't popping up every fifteen seconds! And I got over my reluctance to install software on this computer, so things should be a lot more secure on here with me running Firefox instead of f'n IE. Because I knew IE was shit, but holy hell I'd never actually experienced anything like what happened yesterday! (more...)

Yep, it's here -- Dusty Plastic HELL: Hot Flash #42! I actually did see a girl wearing that shirt on the metro this past weekend, and I actually did say, "Nice shirt," to her. And then I said, "Does that mean you'd never kiss me in a million years, you fucking discriminatory shirt-wearing cunt?!?" No, I didn't say that. I went to Hooters and ate raw oysters instead.

Yup. Anyway, Dusty Plastic HELL: Hot Flash #42. Featuring another comic book character cameo!!! Ja.

Mickey passed me the music stick a while ago -- so long ago that I can't even find the post in which she did so! -- but I was able to track down the questions in the online home of one badly dubbed boy, so here we go... music meme, ho! 😀 (more...)
