All this talk upthread about shoes makes me wonder if anyone has seen Kinky Boots yet? I just heard about it in a review that specifies that the movie itself is great, Ejiofor should be a big damn movie star if this ever hit a big audience, and the shoes are fabulous!

Eh...I thought the movie sucked and the shoes were boring.

Ejiofor gives a much better performance than the movie deserves. (Frankly, I found the portrayal of his character borderline offensive, it was such a shallow fucking cliche. Very much the Magical Negro Drag Queen, with a hearty side helping of Gay People Are So Nice And Funny And Helpful As Long As We Can Pretend They Don't Ever Actually Have Sex.)

TAR: I was so shocked to see Lake and Michelle go! Not displeased, mind you, but I thought for sure this was a non-elim. They're really holding them back til the very end, aren't they?

Top Chef: Dear GOD Stephen has to go. I hate him so so so so much. Unfortunately, Andrea really did throw in the towel this week. I think she was trying to lose, honestly -- she understands that this is more important to the others than it is to her. She seems like a really genuinely good person, as long as I don't ever have to eat her food.

Not as bad.

Not nearly. Lake's an asshole, no question, but I wouldn't call him abusive, the way Jonathan was. And Michelle seems to at least understand that she's not in the world's greatest marriage -- if the best thing you can think of to say in your exit interview is "It works for us, and we're doing our best," there are problems beyond the stress of the race. But Victoria never said a single bad word about Jonathan, which I found far more disturbing.

Fucking fuck. They are fucking jackhammering the road outside my apartment window and it is fucking MIDNIGHT. Jackhammering! Who the fuck jackhammers a residential street at midnight?! For two nights in a row?!

Today is not customer service day for me. I call a place that Burrell had recommended for pizza. They don't deliver to where I live, and give me a new number. I call the second number, place an order, wait an hour and call back. Oh, no, they don't deliver to where I live either. Whoever could have given them my number??

Who the fuck cares? Who's the jackhole that TOOK MY ORDER & MY PHONE NUMBER and had it vanish into the ether? Apparently their driver will drop off a pizza on his way home, but fuck. I'm just lolling here with the worst migraine I've had in weeks, waiting for food I don't have to prepare myself.

Also not my day today.

eta: Though I'd rather be missing a pizza than have bon's problem.

See, I'm pretty much fine as long as they're not having sex with me. Because whether male or female, one of us is going to be deeply disappointed.

Maybe it's the Mafia on an image improvement drive. You know, replacing "Tonight, you sleep with the fishes" with "Tonight, you sleep with great difficulty."

Why is there stupid spy music on 24?

I thought the construction around me sucked.

I think you're into "not a judge in the land" territory there, bon. Got a chainsaw?

They spent two nights last week resurfacing my street (well, ripping off the old surface, haven't so much replaced it yet.) It's probably something along those 'not frelling traffic' lines.

Are banjoes involved?

Uh oh. I just got an image of the voice-over guy from Dukes of Hazzard doing 24 instead. Punishment is swift and merciless!
