September 6, 2015 – Cait & Some Other Ladies

Posted on by

What I Watched Today

(random, rambling thoughts on today’s TV)

I Am Cait

This ought to be good tonight. Cait is getting together with Kris Jenner for the first time since her transition. She has a stylist coming and she’s seriously rocking a gorgeous batwing-sleeved top right now. I don’t think the stylist is going to have any trouble pulling a look together for Cait.

A lot of the episode centered on the ESPY Awards. Cait is going to receive the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage. This is also the first time she will be appearing before a large crowd as Caitlyn. Not too much pressure. It goes flawlessly and unless you’re living in a bank vault, you’ve already seen Cait in that stunning white Versace gown, designed by Donatella herself. But in case you haven’t heard Cait’s moving speech, you can watch it here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYj4_-EroNo

Just please return after you do, and don’t get caught up in watching an hour of cute pet videos. They don’t call it “the web” fer nuttin’.

Cait tries calling Kris, but the call goes to voicemail. It’s not set up yet, so the recording says to call in later, which gives Cait the quote of the night. “Calling in later; that’s my life.”

Cait is also sad about Kris not being at the ESPYs. Me too. She’s been there to support Cait for everything for a long time, so naturally it would feel like there’s something missing.

Lots of glamour in this episode – I desperately want Cait’s oversized, tortoise shell, cat’s eye sunglasses and would buy them in a heartbeat if I had a spare $300 laying around – but there’s also a nice balance with the serious issues in the LGBT community. Cait joins her friend, Chandi Moore, in addressing a group of LGBT youth. There is a lot of discussion about paperwork and changing identities. It’s amazing, the rude questions that have to be fielded when a name on an ID doesn’t fit the person it’s issued to. Everything from the snarky calling a transgender man “ma’am” to the downright nasty, asking a woman what she has in her pants.

Cait is seriously considering using “Bruce Jenner” on an application for joining a new section of her old golf course, but decides to have her name legally changed. This is another hassle transgender people face. It can take up to a year in some states.

I found it interesting that, in seeing Caitlyn as Bruce again in flashbacks, I think she fits her authentic skin so much better. I’m sure some of that has to do with being more relaxed and confident, but she also definitely the butterfly, whereas Bruce was the cocoon.

Ha-ha-ha! A few “closet” jokes tonight. I knew that had to be coming at some point.

I should have known. The meeting with Kris has been stretched out to the next episode. What a tease!

Ladies of London

Starts Monday and I can’t wait to see these girls again! I’m especially looking forward to Julie Montagu joining the cast full time. Born in Illinois, her husband is a Viscount, and something like 400th in line for the throne.

That reminds me. Whatever happened to Almost Royal on BBCAmerica? It was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. Two stand up comics, playing brother and sister, 50th and 51st in line for the throne, and fooling the general public in the USA. Sort of a kinder, gentler Borat.

If you’re from the USA, hope you’re enjoying your Memorial Day weekend. Amid the final barbecues and good-by-to-summer parties, (and sobbing because Fear the Walking Dead was not on tonight) please take a moment to remember why we celebrate!

September 4, 2015 — GH & Catching Up

Posted on by

General Hospital

Now that I finally got nuKiki and TJ down, I wonder who nuSloane is every time I see him.

It’s one of those rare times I agree with Sonny – Charlie is stupid. Does he really think Sonny was born yesterday? He might have come unarmed, but I’m sure arms are right around the corner. TJ’s eyes look like they’re going to pop out of his head. I’d probably look the same if a gun was that close to my face. I’m guessing this episode is going to end with a cliffhanger bang. Who is this guy, Charlie, anyway? A mob renegade? It usually doesn’t end too well for those types, and it’s highly doubtful they’re going to kill off Sonny.

Oooh! Nice cut and color on Olivia! I see there have been new cuts and colors all around. I guess in Port Charles they have hairdresser day where everyone gets it done at once.

I’d like to know how Nicholas got to be a “pillar of the community” when he rarely even leaves Windermere? And when did Anna get this big revelation about Sloane? A lot seems to happen offstage. Is this a police station or a matchmaking operation? Jordon gets involved in a lot of people’s romantic affairs.

“Dressing – Primping – Leaving.”  The Survivor bride motto. Hey, can I buy extravagant gifts and put them on Sonny’s tab? How does Michael think Morgan got a hangover? How quickly we forget.

If aliens were watching daytime TV and saw the commercials, they’d think we’re all a sickly bunch who take a lot of medication. Ironic how difficult it is to get any of the characters to take one pill, even when they’re going off the rails.

Whoa. Wait. What happened? WTF, Sloane? Did something else happen when I blinked? Was Nicholas throwing signs? Stop toying with me & Anna! Not liking nuSloane.

Geez, Charlie turned into a big baby really fast.

Yep, my prediction was right. Not so much psychic as having watched this for 50 years.

The Haves & The Have Nots

Apparently in missing the first half hour on Tuesday, I missed a lot. All the upheaval during Jim’s live interview, after the bombshell dropped that he had 2 sons by one of his maids. Finding out that Veronica was behind his son Ryan’s near-rape in prison after Jim had put him in there to teach him a lesson. (What happened to grounding?) And the piêce de rèsistance, Jim trying to strangle Veronica in a room full of people. Whew!

But wait a second. Didn’t Candace save anything from the millions she got out of Jim? Why does she need a bankroll to prove that she can take car of her son? I love Candace and Oscar (really?) together. I hope he continues to be the nice guy he seems to be. Is that even possible on a show like this?

Now that I’ve seen the beginning, it makes a lot more sense now why Jim wants a “bloodbath.”  I thought he was just being exceptionally crabby.

What I Watched Today

(random, rambling thoughts on today’s TV)

General Hospital

Adding “the shipments” to the list of generic terms the PC mob uses. I’ll bet they’re secretly selling Amway. For the love of God, someone please say the name of the kid-whose-name-I-can-never-remember. I finally got the names down on MasterChef though Major points for me!

WHAT HAPPENED TO SLOANE??? That’s not Sloan. Who is that guy and what happened to the handsome one? All right, I’ll take the buzzcut, just bring him back. This guy reminds me of Beau Bridges. (No offense to Beau, but he just ain’t the other Sloane.) Seeing Sloane’s lovesickness over Anna has given me the earworm of Meatloaf’s “I Would Do Anything For Love,” except Sloan would do that too.

Somebody Morgan’s age (TJ! It’s TJ! That’s his name!) shouldn’t have that bad of a hangover. Geez, where are the days when young people went straight to brunch? If he keeps going the way he’s going, I might actually start liking Sonny. I even stopped watching GH for a while when it became The Sonny Show. While I love the spy stuff – ah, the days of the Ice Princess, the Wellington Dog, and Casey the alien (yeah, I know, I’m the only one who liked that storyline, but, Brad Lockerman) – I’ve always felt that if I want to watch mob doings, I’ll watch Goodfellas.

Is it me, or did Hayden’s hair color change when she was unconscious for so long in the hospital? Those crazy nurses!

Question. If Jublia is so great, how come the foot playing tennis still has fungus on its toes at the end of the match? The ridiculous things that bother me…

The Real Housewives of New York: Secrets Revealed

I love how they come up with new ways to milk the season. Secrets Revealed is the new Lost Footage. I’m glad they changed the title because “lost footage” seriously insults my intelligence. I have this mental picture of Andy Cohen hiding film clips in his desk until the season is over. Oddly enough, we often get some of the best footage out of the extra episodes. New earworm: “Save the Best for Last.”

Maybe there is hope. Bethenny is talking about how she was practically living on the street 6 or 7 years ago, and now she’s a skabillionaire. Although I don’t exactly have her energy.  Dorinda found an old love letter email from her late husband, Richard, that he wrote while she was sleeping. He talks about wanting to wake her, but they have plenty of years for that. Tears in everyone’s eyes, including mine.

OMG. Heather actually stopped in the middle of what she was saying and said she didn’t really care, it was basically too stupid a topic to continue with. That reminded me of the time when I was taking a musical comedy class. (You could really sing anything; it didn’t have to be from a musical.) This girl stopped in the middle of her song and said she never realized how idiotic the lyrics were, and sat down.

Sonja was defensive and needy? Has there been a time when she wasn’t? BTW, for all Sonja’s yapping about how the ladies talk about her, she sure had a lot to say about Kristen’s husband being caught up in that Ashley Madison business. My love for Sonja has waned this season. I don’t know if it’s too much drinking or what, but she seemed more unhinged than eccentric. Ow! That was my reaction to the knife in my heart when Kristen talked about breaking out her wedding dress for her 10th anniversary. Kristen seems surprised her wedding dress still fits. Really? She doesn’t look like she has an ounce of body fat. She couldn’t possibly have been thinner 10 years ago. Carole tries on the dress too. That seems kind of weird to me. I understand wanting to try them on at a store, even if you’re not the one getting married, but not somebody’s already-been-worn dress.

Ha-ha! Ramona just called Heather and Carole “Harold.” Ugh! I hate when Ramona gets all huggy/clingy. It usually happens after she’s done something awful and wants forgiveness. She makes me think of a sloth clinging to a tree. Or worse, a spider wrapping web material around a fly.

WHAT’RE YA DOIN’ HERE WITHOUT DORINDA?!

September 2, 2015 — GH, the Rich, the Small & the Final Four

The Haves and the Have Nots

This show is just so over-the-top cool! I love these Tyler Perry nighttime soaps because they evoke a revamped 70s/80s style. It’s like he refashioned old-fashioned. The actors must be having a great time with this stuff too.

Last night, I missed the beginning, because I just had to find out what the tip was on rerun of  Below Deck ($12,000), but apparently, the cat is out of the bag that Jim has two illegitimate children by one of his maids, and his popularity just took a nosedive. Jim says he’s “not having a good day,” and this is an understatement. He wants everyone dead.

His business partner friend knows that his wife, Veronica, is on Jim’s death wish list, and he’s having none of that. He tells Jim that if Veronica is harmed, he’ll show him “the like of an enemy [Jim] has never seen.” Them’s fightin’ words. Although I don’t get why David cares so much about her, since a couple of episodes ago, she tried to burn down the house with him in it.

Ah, love.

General Hospital

Aw, Jake. I like him. I just wish they’d get to telling him who he really is. So he can dump Elizabeth like yesterday’s trash. I don’t like her. I never quite understood why all the ladies loved Jason, but nuJason is very lovable.

Anna is back! At one I’d point hoped for a “love triangle” between her, Duke and Sloane, but Duke’s dead and Sloane is MIA, so there goes that. Oh, wait, they’re talking about Sloane, so he must still be around. He’s one good-looking guy, but please, GH, stay away from those buzzcuts. Maybe that’s where Sloane has been, busy growing out his hair.

Nice scene between Morgan and Sonny about the bi-polar issue, although you’d think Morgan would know all this already. BTW, I’m not too crazy about Michael either. “You’re not hung over cuz you’re still drunk.” HAHAHA, Sonny! Been there myself.

I kind of like Nicholas and Hayden, but I’d feel more comfortable with it if I didn’t think he was planning on killing her.

Molly and kid-whose-name-I-can-never-remember should go into the bakery business.  Carly & Sonny’s wedding cake looks fabulous. Whoops! Maybe not. It looks like there’s a group of masked men who just don’t like cake.

MasterChef

Everyone has to make magic from a single ingredient and their “staple pantry box.” Nick says the simplest things are the hardest to execute. I agree. I can’t make a sunnyside up egg for anything. I love Stephen’s goal to have a farm to table business.

Katrina is wearing a bow on her head again, albeit a lot smaller. I’m betting it grows by the end of the season.

Claudia says she had a dream about Gordon and she has a crush on him. Me too. He might act like a screaming mimi a lot of the time, but that’s not because he’s a nasty guy; he’s just passionate about what he does. And granted, maybe some of it is for the camera. He’s actually quite a kind and caring man, and possibly the hardest working man in the food industry. He has at least 4 TV shows, my favorite being BBCAmerica’s The F Word. It’s very different from the other programs like MasterChef, Hell’s Kitchen and Kitchen Nightmares. It’s more of a food variety show, where you get to see where the food comes from, along with some cooking segments and a whole bunch of other stuff. There’s also a contest segment where a celebrity (not a chef) and Gordon compete in making the same dish. And Gordon is not always the winner.

I’m not a bleu cheese lover, but Derrick’s pretzels with bleu cheese look hella good. Claudia wins the first round, but I don’t think her crush has anything to do with it. Oh man, I desperately want their pantry. It has absolutely everything you’d ever need. I love when the winner gets to screw around with the other contestants. This time, Claudia gets to pick her favorite ingredients and one of the others will have to cook with them. A few old timers (winners from previous seasons) have also been invited back to make up baskets for the others. Christine is one of them and one of my favorites. She’s blind and I find her amazing. Nick, who got Claudia’s basket, is totally freaking out.

Katrina seriously screwed up. Undercooked veal. I don’t think that bow is going to save her either. Nick is safe though. For all his freaking out, he had the top dish. Yep, Katrina is going home. The top 4 are Claudia, Stephen, Derrick and Nick. Katrina gets a great consolation prize though. Gordon offers her a culinary trip to France when she’s ready. The bow lives on!

I’m still feeling that Stephen will be the winner. Although seriously, anyone who can hold their own on this show for any amount of episodes – hell, anyone who even made it onto the show – is a winner in my book.

Little Women: Los Angeles

Since MasterChef ran overtime, I missed the first 2 minutes, and tune in to see Tonya and Jasmine hugging it out. Dammit! What were the magic words that made that happen?

It’s a shame that the women aren’t accepting of Briana’s fiancé, Matt. He’s tired of getting the cold shoulder from Briana’s friends and I don’t blame him. While no doubt he has flaws, like Jasmine we’ve only seen Matt treat Briana with respect and love. Jasmine is the only one being cool about it – or not “being all, like uncool” as the Countess would say. If he’s only a fetishest, he’s hiding it pretty well. And he did put a ring on it.

Elena is working with a makeup company and the whatever-they-are seem to be skeptical of her idea of having a mini double-sided brush included in a palette. I’m a palette junkie and I think it’s a fine idea. Their argument is based on the fact that they’ve never manufactured something like that before. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think it’s a good idea to manufacture never-before-done makeup products. Who doesn’t want something new in their makeup wardrobe? This makes no sense to me whatsoever.

Barry Gordy’s son, Kerry, wants to create a hit single for Briana, Christy is going to be in a music video, and Terra’s getting married. These girls are busy! What’s so remarkable about all of them is that, watching them, you would never know the physical struggles they go through. Their challenges go way beyond being small in stature. It seems like every one of them have other physical problems as well. Briana goes to get her hair done and has to put cotton in her ears because getting any water in them can cause 5 days of pain. My admiration grows. Also my awareness of how we all complain about such insignificant things.

Brittney is a dancer, just off of Miley Cyrus’s tour (um….) and is getting an agent. Is everyone’s life more exciting than mine? Those who can’t do, write about it.

Terra’s Little Family

It’s the season finale and time for the wedding. I am so looking forward to this!  Everything is gorgeous, especially the bride. Terra’s father is deceased and I can totally understand the hole that must be in her heart, because I had no father to walk me down the aisle either. Her brother is pinch-hitting though, as my sister did for me, and everything is just beautiful, including tiny flower girl, baby Penny in her wagon, surrounded by flowers. Terra’s dress is perfect, and her pillbox hat with a short veil works well. So does the beige dress/cobalt blue shoe combo for the bridesmaids. Terra’s heel breaks on her way down the aisle, but every wedding needs at least one hitch. For their first dance, Terra has written and recorded her own song. Is there no end to the talents these little women have?

I really love these two and wish them as much happiness as they can handle. In a sea of reality nonsense, they’re a breath of fresh air, and they show us how to handle life’s complications and hardships with grace and maturity, as well as how to do it as a couple. And they literally make me laugh out loud at least twice every episode. They’re the couple you’d love to hang out with IRL. While I totally admit to enjoying the ridiculous arguments and rich people’s problems of The Real Housewives, Terra and Joe are pearls among pebbles.

Million Dollar Listing

It tends to rotate, but now Wednesday is the problematic day of the week for me. The day of the week I have to stay up all night to catch the shows I want to see. So let it suffice to say that I’m glad to see the Los Angeles guys back. My favorite is the New York bunch, but that’s because I know the city so well. But for some reason, I just could not get into the San Francisco group as much. I did get into some of the houses, which were incredible; the brokers, not so much.

Oh, this is good though. The son of the seller of a to-die-for house wants to help out by taking potential buyers on a trip down his own Memory Lane. This guy’s jaw is wired because somebody punched him in the mouth and I understand completely.

Off the watch the finale.

September 1, 2015 — GH, Yachting & Parties, & a Gigolo

What I Watched Today

(random, rambling thoughts on today’s TV)

 

General Hospital

I gotta say, Donna Mills looks terrific in orange, but since it’s the new black, I’m not surprised. Mo’ money, mo’ problems, mo’ arrested.

I’m going to get shingles just having to listen to Terry Bradshaw talk about them every commercial break.

Ok, let’s count. How many scenes can we have with Julian shirtless? Oh Lord, he and Alexis have matching underwear. I’m just not feeling these two.

Oh good. Nathan finally told Madeline his name isn’t James. I’ve been screaming that at the TV for 2 days.

Did Morgan just ask Michael what all his mood changes are about? Did he forget the entire conversation with Sonny and Carly the other day, where they tried to explain he was bi-polar? I give up. Too bad Ava can’t say she needs meds too. It’s not looking good between her and Kiki, which is totally understandable. Kiki (I remembered who she was immediately – progress!) made a good point in that Ava’s feelings for Morgan are stronger than those for her daughter. I still don’t get why either one of them are interested in him — he’s annoying and there’s that eww factor — but she’s right.

Carly just said she’s “feeling lucky.” Is he back again? (haha) I’m liking the kinder, gentler Sonny with her.

How come they haven’t released Franco and Nina yet? OMG, the guard is stepping aside and letting Madeline yap at Nina before he takes her to her cell. What jail does this??? Geez, Nina had to tell him to take Madeline away. The inmates are running the asylum.

Aww, Franco and Nina are getting all mushy. From their jail cells.

From the previews, it looks like both Anna and young Spencer will be back on the scene soon. Yay!

Below Deck

This is a continuation of last week’s episode.  The guy who whose dream it was to have the foam party. Sigh…rich people.

Something seems to be off with new stew Rocky. I don’t know if it’s just immaturity or what, but she acts like a 5-year-old. One of her first personal orders of business is to go up on the mast near the radar with one of the other hands (the French guy Emile). This is apparently dangerous on several levels and you’d think that someone working in yachting would know this. I look forward to more precarious situations with this girl.

Tomboy deckhand Connie’s father passed away. This would be sad, but she doesn’t seem to care as their relationship “ended years ago.” Apparently he was an addict only an inch away from abusing the kids sexually. I don’t blame her.

Ha-ha! Kate is punishing Rocky with a bunch of busy work. Connie is the opposite of Rocky. She says Kate is the boss; do it her way. Yep.

I’m a water baby, so one of my favorite things about this show are the places they go to, even if that place is just out in the middle of the water.  It’s the Bahamas this charter & I am so in.

The primary guest, George, wants it all. (Although, to be truthful, he’s a lot nicer about requesting it than many guests have been. I expect him to tip big.) He now wants a Mexican party where angel-hair pasta is turned into Mexican spaghetti. Kate is freaking over this, but the chef makes it happen deliciously. George has also heard Aerosmith is in the area & has asked if Captain Lee can hook him up. Steven Tyler always seems down for anything, so maybe we’ll see him in this episode. Amy says it can get dicey late at night with charter guests who like to drink a lot. I’ll bet.

Wow. Kate’s kind of a slob in her own cabin. I guess she gets tired of cleaning since she has to clean up after guests all the time, but I’m shocked that she’s not anal about her personal space.

No Steven Tyler, but the stews dress up one of the crew. Unfortunately he looks like Captain Jack Sparrow, so I’m not sure what they were going for here. Instead of Aerosmith, we get a poor man’s Johnny Depp.

Don argues over an order from Captain Lee. Oh, he’s an engineer. That explains it.

My favorite part – tip time! George leaves the boat like a boss king in a huge crown. He’s had the time of his life and hands Captain Lee a fat envelope. The crew sits down at the table to divvy up the spoils. And then I had a dog mini-emergency and missed the whole thing.

Rocky is ridiculous. She doesn’t want to be told what to do, yet admits she doesn’t know what she’s doing. Ok. Maybe she should hook up with Morgan.

My Fab 40th

I don’t know about this show. Each week a different person (so far just women) plan a huge party for their 40th birthday and drama ensues. It’s fun to watch the party being planned and seeing the end result, but it’s hard to invest in anyone who you’re only going to see once.

This episode revolved around a gorgeous single mother and model. At first, this episode bummed me out. She’d been dating her boyfriend of 6 years and wanted to take the next step into marriage. He’d given her a “promise ring” (really? we’re 40, not 14), but seemed to waiver on getting married again. (They’d both been married before.) What bothered me was, here’s this woman who has everything going for her, and she’s waiting around on this guy. Clearly, at this point, he doesn’t want to get married. IMO, if at all, once is enough, but if that’s what she really wants, why waste time on someone who doesn’t? On the other hand, it was a little creepy how her girlfriends were pressuring him to give her a ring at upcoming party.

His surprise for her is going to be a racecar (she’s an enthusiast), something she’d also wanted, but in another uncomfortable-for-me move, she had gone ring shopping with a friend and texted him a picture of the ring she wanted. When she saw the car, she thought maybe the ring was inside. So did I. Even though I thought he was a lost cause by now, I wanted it for her because she wanted it. And I was afraid if she didn’t get it, she’d waste more time when there was a whole wide world out there. But she surprised me.

There was no ring in the car and she dumped him, but kept the car.

She’ll do just fine. With or without a new man.

Vanderpump Rules

No it’s not the new season yet, but I just read that Kristen and James have broken up. Although I’ve never been a fan of James, I hated watching him be, for lack of a better word, cuckolded throughout the entire last season. Hopefully, he now has a clue that Kristen is batsh*t crazy and is never going to stop stalking her ex, Tom. Lisa fired her for God’s sake. And Lisa puts up with a lot with these kids.

This is actually in my top ten, if not five, favorites of reality shows. I adore Lisa and Ken, and will watch anything that might have a gratuitous scene with Giggy.

I can’t wait to see that little sex monster again.

August 31, 2015 — PC & the OC

What I Watched Today

(random, rambling thoughts on today’s TV)

General Hospital

Who knew Silas’s apartment had such a revolving door and had so much going on there? I won’t be hiring Rick the weasel as an attorney any time soon, since I’m guessing he should have known about Silas’s claim to Nina’s money. Did he do no research?

Madeline: “I will admit there was some ambiguity about [Nina’s] death.” Ha-ha-ha! Like Mark Twain, the report of her death was an exaggeration.

Ok, Morgan is a total idiot. He needs to stop begging whining, and make an exit like a man. Dump him now, Kiki. Please. Thank you.

Well, Silas did say “over my dead body.” It’s probably not good to throw a phrase like that around when you’re dealing with diabolical people. It makes sense that Madeline did it. Donna Mills probably has another engagement. Too bad she can’t take Rick with her. And Morgan. Why does Madeline keep calling Nathan “James?” I’m confused enough.

Not bad for a Monday. In the old days, they always waited until Tuesday for a reveal, but just like the TV seasons, they now just throw it up in the air and see where it lands.

The Real Housewives of the OC

What is wrong with this group? Why is it incomprehensible that someone would choose an alternative to chemo for treating cancer? And why is it unfathomable that someone doesn’t want to discuss a personal topic with the world? Do you not remember that you’re not the only ones at the table? We’re watching too.

Vicki never wants to see Meghan again. Me neither. Now Meghan stirred the sh*t and she’s all weepy. Ho-hum. Meghan claims not to be coming from “a place of malice,” but then calls Vicki a bitch the second she leaves the room. I could spend this whole post just writing “I hate Meghan” a la Jack Torrance in The Shining. Geez, by the time I was 30, I managed to comprehend that there are as many ways to live as there are people.  Not that I think she should, but at least Nene fom Atlanta Wives has a reason to feel superior. What has this woman done with her life? Marry rich? Oh, congratulations on something no one else in Orange County has done. Let’s synchronize our watches and count down until her divorce.

And what the blip are “judgey eyes” anyway? This twit is the most judgmental thing I’ve ever seen. All over.

Tamra and Eddie are having a “sex party” to promote their new workout video. For not being on the show this season, Lizzie is sure in a lot of scenes. Maybe she’s the next Countess. OMG, now Meghan is faulting Vicki for wearing white, saying she wore it for the attention and to give an f-u to the party theme. Tamra wanted them to wear their sexiest outfits and Vicki’s dress is all lace. I guess it wouldn’t occur to judgey brained Meghan that it might be Vicki’s sexiest outfit. Duh. Who wrote the rule that a sexy dress has to be black? The video turns out to be pretty funny. It’s kind of like that joke where you think the two people are going at it, but it really turns out to be a dentist and a patient. This time it’s Tamra and Eddie, but they’re really exercising.

Vicki says the party is like Moulin Rouge gone to hell, and I tend to agree.

I don’t think I’d want to eat sushi off of some naked person either. Heather, Shannon and I totally agree on the unsanitary aspect of that. Vicki is actually trying to talk the naked sushi girl into going to college and getting a real career.

If Tamra wants to be taken seriously as a Christian, it might be a good start to let her husband know what’s going on. He seemed pretty startled when she said she wanted to get baptized. Why would she think Eddie would be unsupportive? Eddie is one of few reasons I don’t think she’s a total loss. Here’s another clue, Vicki’s reactions to Meghan might be “over the top” (although I don’t think so), but she just lost her mother. She doesn’t want to hear about losing her boyfriend. Everyone just follow Eddie’s example – be supportive and shut up. Come to think of it, Meghan says she’s a Christian too. Is this some special kind of California Christian that I don’t know about? Like they secretly follow Jesus, but act like a-holes to the rest of the world? <Heaving huge sigh.>

Leech therapy on your stomach for more youthful skin? Really, Heather?  And your doctor husband is on board with this? What’s next, the blood of young virgins? And I guarantee, even if Demi Moore does this, she’s also had work done. Hmmm…wait a second. Weren’t you one of the ones questioning Brook’s decision on the alternative cancer therapy? At least it doesn’t involve an insect that sticks to you like a…leech. I’m game for a lot of things, but this isn’t one of them.

What is with Meghan and her  husband that they think everyone needs to “prove” things all the time? I love how Meghan keeps saying that “the psychic” is the one who said Brooks didn’t have cancer, when she’s the one who keeps repeating it. And actually, that’s not what he said. He said “might not” and then quickly back pedaled. This girl is the same kind of girl who sits down between you and the guy you’re interested in, turns her back to you and excludes you from the conversation. Then later acts like she didn’t see you there. True story. It happened to me. But I got the guy anyway because that behavior is not attractive. What Meghan also doesn’t understand is that this group of “old women” has seen her type before and has her number.

Hubby just told Meghan to “zip it.” This is turning out better than I thought. Anybody else notice he was playing with his wedding ring during the car ride home? And he could barely looked at her. DUN-DUN-DUNNN! HA-HA-HAAA!

The really horrible thing is, I’ll bet Meghan is going to have a conniption if Brooks’s treatment works. It’s probably more important for her to be right than for this guy to live. She’s what Dr. Phil calls “a right fighter.” She calls it “love of justice”; I call it bullsh*t.  Ooh, even better, apparently hubby told Brooks that they’ve been married for 4 months and 2 of those were “challenging.” Challenging is the word we now use for anything difficult or painful, and he hardly knows Brooks.

Thank God Devious Maids is over with for a while. For both our sakes. I’ve rambled enough.
