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.
I know! But, in a wierd way, I can't help but like her a little. In an "i'm sorry that you're such a fuckup" way.
I don't watch DH anymore, but Felicity Huffman's character was my favorite.
This was me early on, but as it's become increasingly obvious that she's sabotaged any effort to solve the problems of her home life, whines and shirks responsibility constantly, and has a monstrous sense of entitlement, I've lost all sympathy. Susan's funny, but has become such a wacky charicature that I can't relate to her at all. I find myself liking Gabrielle despite disapproving of almost everything she does. Bree, while she has her Stepfordesque faults, is at least proactive and trying to do her best.
OMG, the combination of craiglist and google maps is like the coolest thing ever: [link]
Truly we live in a golden age.
proactive and trying to do her best.
Protecting
her son from punishment for what he's done
doesn't strike me as anything near her best.

And New Yorkers have both the NYC map portal and hopstop, so we can get anywhere and find anything!!!
awesome.
I am glad I double checked that map against what the interview lady told me. She directed me to a Canal street stop when Broadway/Lafayette is the closest. Crazy.
I loathe Susan; she isn't as cute as she thinks she is. In general, the characters are all over the map -- one episode Bree is sympathetic, the next she's a stone bitch. The writing is way inconsistent.
I think my hierarchy is Lynette, Susan, Bree, Edie, Gabrielle. But I don't like any of them much.
Ack! My movers that were supposed to be here this afternoon will be here in about half an hour.
There's no way I will get everything I need to done in time, so I decided to just eat breakfast and catch up here before getting to work, instead of driving myself nuts for an extra 15 minutes.
eta: I'm with msbelle: I don't watch DH anymore, but Lynette was my favorite.
Good luck with the interview, msbelle.
thanks for the wishes nice peoples. Off to a lucky BK lunch.
