I thought my show-killer mojo had faded with Lost and Desperate Housewives becoming hits last year and Stargate: Atlantis becoming a solid success for its genre. But new shows I watch are crashing and burning with frightening speed this midseason.

Note to self: Begin watching Fox reality programs religiously.

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

I need to free myself of this curse before Eureka airs, or I might be down one best friend.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

How will I be compensated?

Spa day?

Two? From one showing?

Yes. How's that for irritating beyond all get out? Normally I pay by check and I write "EXTORTION" in the memo line. But today, it was pay by web.

Hmm. Thats a good place to open negotiations...

How's that for irritating beyond all get out?

Oh, very. I'm surprised that hasn't happened to me in Westwood yet, but these days I avoid everything other than the medical centre with its own parking structure. Last parking ticket was Santa Monica, but it was a lovely afternoon out, so it was almost worth it.

I choose death before reality! Unless there's a cake option. Is there cake? No? Babies on spikes, then?

I could make myself watch for the certain knowledge of Rupert Murdoch's blood pressure rising in inverse proportion to the falling ratings of his network.

I think there was a conversation about this in Bitches, but I can't remember...

A masseuse doesn't actually give a crap that my body sucks, right? She wont like, recoil?

Allyson, it's the masseuse's job to work on the person. I know a massueuse who says that he doesn't see a body, per se, but parts to work on. He sees bodies in groups of muscles and angles, not in sizes.

You won't ping the masseu(r/se)'s radar, Allyson. Go and relax.
