the Rice confirmation hearing, which so far is making me want to give Barbara Boxer and Joe Biden big, sloppy kisses.

I wanted to make out with Barbara Boxer yesterday. I actually tuned off my radio because she was making so much sense - I was just getting too angry to focus on driving.

And if we can't trust reality television on Bravo, who CAN we trust?

I can't be getting sick again, right? I just got over The Ick a week ago, I'm not having a relapse, right?

No going out dancing for me tonight, that's for sure. My pet DJ will think I don't love him any more.

and the fat one starts bouncing the skinny one's head off a wall while the skinny one cries and doesn't fight back.

Oh but if you've been watching this is totally in character for both of them...

I love the big gay one because he says his dream celebrity to design for is Amy Sedaris.

I love the skinny gay one because he wears knee-highs to bed and designs pretty, pretty (and completely impractical) dresses.

I CALL BULLSHIT ON THE WHOLE SHOW!

Thanks for the heads-up. I'm totally not watching that show now.

Sean, since we caption the show and having seen the ep, I can say that the fight is just them goofing around and the producers threw it in the promo so it would look like a real fight. It also is clearly an unstaged show, because they do a lot of re-editing as they go. The over-the-topness of several contestants is their own, if oyu know what I mean. The producers probably selected them because of it, but it is no more "unreal" than ND and his kilts--it is their choice, not someone else's, and I think it adds some spice.

I'm relieved! I like both of those guys. I was worried. sort of.

In other news, it is snowing here. Or was the last time I stood up to check it may have stopped. My housemate is home sick with a bad cold. She called earlier to ask where the shovel is so she could shovel the walk. I was all "NO. HAVE TEA! DON'T SHOVEL! YOU'RE SICK." And now I'm evilly hoping she decided to do it anyway so I don't have to when I get home...

Okay, thank you Robin. Because that "fight" was just too damned much for me.

I can accept that those two are deliberately overacting their own personalities, but the promo broke my suspension of disbelief.

lisah, I'm currently out in Eldersburg, and it has completely stopped snowing.

lisah, I'm about a mile as the crow flies from your house and it has stopped here too
