I've been forced to consider my wedding because my mother thinks about it often. If I don't shut down an idea immediately, she takes it as gospel. Otherwise, when I actually did get married, I'd hear something like 'what do you mean you don't want a purple lame bow on your butt? you didn't say no when I mentioned it in 1995"

It wasn't the manliness of the facial hair -- it just made him look similar to someone else, though I can't think of who.

But yes, his accent was so much his "American accent" from his standup routines, I couldn't hear it as anything other than Eddie's silly American accent.

"Hi! I'm Crazy Eddie! I put babies on spikes!"

And I said this before, but it bears repeating. I absolutely ADORED that his youngest son was a crossdresser, and his parents were totally okay with that.

It has been suggested that his facial hair makes him look like Gregory Itzin, most notably from 24. But now I can't find a picture of Itzin with facial hair to demonstrate.

Eddie Izzard's accent, though, is driving me BATSHIT. As is his haircut. And facial hair -- that's just WRONG.

Teppy is me.

Has anyone here seen Blood Ties the series? I saw an ad for it in a magazine and want to know if it's worth checking out.

I think Vortex mentioned it in Boxed Set a while back, Cashmere. She mentioned it somewhere.

I absolutely ADORED that

It mostly just made me giggle, because of how completely off-handedly it was treated. Just like saying, "So, young Bobby seems to be taking an interest in football." "Oh really, darling? Good for him!"

There was one moment that just JUMPED out at me, where I felt like the show had *something* there, that I'm hoping will just take off like gangbusters -- in the kitchen, when Dahlia says they're "investing" the money, and Wayne says "American Dream," yadda yadda, we're going to LIVE here, and then youngest!son says, "That's the craziest thing I've ever heard," -- there was this LOOK between Wayne and Dahlia that was, just for a moment, LOADED with everything about their relationship, and all the potential they have together to be an utter force of nature.

Or did I maybe misinterpret? Little things like that tend to be *everything* to me.

Ah, thanks. I'll search BS for it.

I kind of felt that there, too, Tep. So, not necessarily just you.

But my sanity is frequently suspect as well.

You know those little credit cards they send out that fit on a keychain? I got one with my Bank of America credit card but I thought I'd never use it.

At the salon, after getting cut, colored and an eyebrow wax, I realized I'd taken my wallet out of my purse and did not have anything to pay them with.

EXCEPT wonderful, tiny, emergency credit card.
