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

Sometimes having a really common name can make one blink.

I had the very same blink, and I'm not even you!

In totally-wrong-thread news (but I'm catching you while I can), has MC Zaphod seen Ratatouille yet? Because we were like, JESS MUST SEE THIS! And then we were like, THREE WEEKS IS OLD ENOUGH FOR THE MOVIES! And that was a whole week ago and it's the first time I've posted with you since.

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

On Big Brother, I wish it would be Jen (? the cryer) out, but because stupid what's her name didn't use the Veto, I guess it will be Carol. She's up, right?

I agree, with everything, though I would like BB!Jessica (who is not remotely like our Jessica, btw) out too.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

You have NO idea how much I want to see it!!! But no, we haven't tested his ability to sleep through a movie yet. I mean, he probably would, since movies are loud and overstimulation tends to = sleep, but neither of us wants to be That Parent if he randomly decided that overstimulation = waking up screaming.

It is, seriously, all that. One of those things that I went into saying, "it can't possibly live up to the hype..." and found out it wasn't hyped enough. And now I feel vaguely like I'm (ahem) taunting, but I've been thinking since the credits rolled that I absolutely had to talk about it with you at some point.

Sorry. Back to your regularly scheduled Reality...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh hell yes.

So. Mean.

(And wow, it's been over a month since I've seen a movie. That's even weirder than me having a kid.)

(And following up on what I said in Natter ten minutes ago, I really am logging off and taking a nap now.)

(Really.)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Just watched the Top Chef. Okay, a) why do a dessert course? You know you're not pastry chefs, and probably you're going to get forced to do one at some point, so don't be stupid about it. And b) Pineapple? Are you kidding me? That's just ridiculous.

So, whatever, whoever it was that got eliminated. So sorry. Glad that Dale stuck around and still took responsibility, though. 'Cause it was totally his fault.

And yeah, about the cheese course. I was thinking that exact same thing. I really want to see someone do a successful cheese course. I love cheese, and there's so much you can do with it, but no one ever does.

You gotta love that they had the option to choose their own teams, and Howie & Joey ended up together. Bwah! Trainwreck guaranteed!

Thrive to spite them

Who's watching Big Brother? Earlier today on one of the feeds Jen told someone "I won HoH" and that Carol had told her the answers, but she won it by mistake.

Wait, HoH isn't actually live?

Although, I was thinking at the beginning that the mass hate of Jen was going to be foreshadowing for something like her winning... until I thought that was impossible!

Thrive to spite them

No it's live, this is the transcript

.. Jen: I think that I already won it, I won HOH tomorrow

Eric: You want it?

Jen: No, I did.. on accident, I didn't mean to

Eric: What?

Jen: I won HOH tomorrow.. I didn't mean to, like I tried to drop out but I won it already

Eric: You think that this happened? How is that?

Jen: I just did

Eric: I have no idea what you're talking about

Jen: I won because it was based on Carol and then like, she gave me a bunch of answers and I knew 'em all.. it's weird

Eric: It's possible..

Jen: I couldn't pass it up

Eric: If it's based on Carol, most people are gonna be fucked

Jen: I'm pretty sure it is

Eric: That's what it was last year [cue the blues]
