Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Hah! I am awake, but saving the Dance Crew that is on my TiVo for tomorrow.

And am once again glad I do not watch AI. Though I was subjected to two hours of "ROCK OF LOVE II" the other night, by a "friend". Dear god.

Punishingly Intricate

hah! I just found out that the same production company that does Ace of Cakes is doing a reality show about my friends' stores. To be aired on G4. crazy!

eta Although it's possibly an April Fool's joke.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

So we can blame her for the hideousness that was JC's brown plaid shirt with teeny ruffles last week.

Bwah! That bowtie!

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

Is it wrong that Eval Dick's comment last night about how cheap Big Brother was for still having the same pots as last year made me giggle?

Oh, I don't think it's fair to blame Kara Saun for JC's questionable fashion choices. Not when you consider his track record.

I know, I saw those pictures on phaballa's lj site. I can't help it; I bizarrely adore him -- he's a unique little snowflake.

And he has been dressing somewhat better recently -- for instance, he looked really hot in the pictures for Elton John's post-Oscar party.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

AI:

I hardly think Itunes and Ipod need MORE pimping - and yet, I swear both have been mentioned 20x each within the first 10 minutes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

yeah, he didn't look happy. but, he was annoying with is over pronounciation of the spanish names. he may have raised Bayless' expectations too much.

Well, yeah, a Mexican-American guy working in a Mexican restaurant? Should have had some tricks up his sleeve!
