"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

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 remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

OMG, the combination of craiglist and google maps is like the coolest thing ever: [link]

Truly we live in a golden age.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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 then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

OMG, the combination of craiglist and google maps is like the coolest thing ever

That is awesome.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

If I only had a brain...

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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

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.
