vw, we were in Harvard Square last night too, for dinner and a show. We went to Tanjore but sadly, no Burdicks. Hee! it would have been cool to run into you all,, all random style.
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Happy birthday, little O!
I have a question for Desperate Housewives watchers -- do you like the housewives? Who do you like least/most, and why?
I'm trying to work out if their likeability is a concern or not ... I did read one of the writers or creators (probably Marc Cherry) saying that Susan was the most popular, because she had the most vulnerability. Which I think is a load of crap, and makes me wonder if they think it's possible to like them all.

I've never seen Desperate Housewives, but I'm going to say I like the redheaded one the most, primarily based on my inability to identify any of the others.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I like the redheaded one the most for many reasons, not least being that she's the redheaded one.

That helps too.

I don't watch DH anymore, but Felicity Huffman's character was my favorite.

Whee, snazzy msbelle. That's got to be good. Have a good interview!
My favorite Desperate Housewife would be Lynette because she's got the problems I can most readily sympathize with. I enjoy watching Bree, Susan is irritating but falling through the floor is pretty amusing, and I don't care one way or the other about Gabrielle, but I'm interested in her storyline.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
You mean, there are people who *don't" like Bree (the redheaded one) the best?
Susan's klutzy helplessness gets on my last nerve. "Look at me! I'm so cute and helpless and I need someone to protect me from the big bad world! (As well as protect the world from me cutting a destructive swath in my wake.)" As if incompetence is a most darling trait in a woman.
Dude. I'm totally Edie. Except for the cleavagy slutbomb thing.

I like Lynette the best. Her issues and reactions seem mostly within scope, even if I don't agree with them (like getting hooked on Ritalin). Susan is slapstick and immature and irritating beyond belief. Also, she's having a codependent relationship with her daughter which always makes me mad. Gabrielle -- for a second there, I was kinda liking her, but now that I see she's an equal partner in the horror that is her marriage, I just can't anymore. As for Bree -- she's fun to watch, but I wouldn't go anywhere near her in real life. The spanking someone else's kids last night was a big no-no for me, and the calm way she sheltered her son from the repercussions of his drunk driving put a cap on my potential sympathy.
Edie -- well, she's just without interest for me. If maybe she was being painted as a Cordelia, but no, she has no real truths to impart, unless she's being meta. She's just a big old tramp that's taken care to paint herself into that corner.
