I watch Giada with the closed captions on. Improves the show immensely.
Except you still get whopping doses of her smiling like the First Evil in "Conversations w/Dead People".
Yeah, we're building a race of frog-people. It's a good time

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I second Kalshane's request for sites with good resume writing tips. I need to update mine. For, uhm, practice. That's all. I'm not really thinking about quitting my job and moving back down South.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
So, what are people doing for the Last Weekend of Summer?
Getting the hell out of here and going to Vermont.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yeah, I keep hoping that TiVo Series Umptybrazilian will have a "block the scary lollipop person" button. It would be useful for so many things beyond Giada.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just got a new phone headset. I swear I only mentioned it casually on Wednesday. It's Bluetooth, so if my Blackberry were vaguely new, I could use the headset with both that and the desk phone.
What confuses me, though, is the handset lifter. It means I can wander around and answer calls on the desk phone. But it's mechanical. Very confusing. I haven't been able to work out how it's going to actually move. I mean.... move. That's just weird.

Always Anti-fascist!
I like Cameron, though I agree that the criticisms are valid. I think I relate to her anyway. Deadwood on bedrest? How macha, JZ. A better choice than laudanum at any rate. Don't know much about cooking or food TV. This weekend, I'm trading a bunch of books to the used place, and maybe we'll have lunch and then I'll watch "Freedomland" on video.

Thrive to spite them
Sandra Lee is the BadFic writer of cooking shows. The other day she was making a veggie dip the "recipe" called for 1 jar of nacho cheez, 1 cup of sour cream, 1 container of sour cream with chives (or maybe cream chese with chives) and a 1 Ranch seasoning packet (or whatever you have on hand).
She put out pre cut carrots and celery and plopped a few in the dip so "my guests will know what to do with them."

Maybe her guests are used to celery stalks as garnishes for all those cocktails she makes?

She has idiots and zombies for guests?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I think she's afraid her guests will think the best thing to do would be to shove her food up her ass....
