That Sucked TOO! (Re: Lost)
Category: T.V. Junkie | 8 Comments »

My disappointment in the season finale of Lost is so intense and widespread I don’t even know where to begin. BAH.

But trust me, I WILL start my bitch session as soon as I figure out what pissed me off the most about it. Until then? Tell me what you thought…unless you liked it, then just keep it to yourself.

Glad I Didn’t Waste All Year With That Show (Re: American Idol)
Category: Randomly | 10 Comments »

American Idol is NOT over yet - but I must say this:

Bo? Don’t ever take those black leather pants off. EVER. Amen.

Kenny Wayne? I’m sorry your brilliance on the guitar was drowned out by the bizarro and HORRID vocal performance of the fallen idols.

Did I mention how hot Bo looks in black leather pants? I did? Oh. Okay. Sorry. I’ll return to the finale now.

Oh - and the rest of the Idols with their Idols? SUCKED ASS. But Carrie’s and Bo’s. They rocked.

I do have to admit the “scandal” bit where Randy was trying to pimp his new album? Was very well done. Cheesy? Yes. But the point was made, and made well. Kudos.

Edited to add now that it’s OVER: Poop. Poop. Poop. I’m glad I hadn’t invested much time or hope into this season because I’m very bummed that Bo didnt win and I only watched like 2 hours of this show the whole season. Oh well. At least he still has his sexy pants. And that song they were to release? Sucks. BAD. So I’m glad I don’t have to hear Bo sing it.

Happy Birthday, Fatty

I finally got a confirmation email from my brother indicating he had received my “Happy Birthday!” email, so now I can do a Birthday entry for him. What? Yes, I said I sent him a “Happy Birthday!” email, what’s your point? I know that’s cold and heartless but I’m busy, and moving, and I didn’t have his address, and then there’s the time difference, and then…

Yeah, I know. I suck.

But - in his honor - I’m going to give you a few funny tidbits about BroZ and I.

  • We were VERY close as children because we went to catholic school (with uniforms) and to Southern Baptist after-school care. Since we were kinda The-Freaks-In-The-Uniforms-Who-Worship-Mary, we tended to stick together.
  • My brother had an “E” that was a large blanket that he started dragging it around with him as a baby. However, periodically my mom would sneak it away while he was sleeping and cut chunks off of it to make it less cumbersome. By the time he gave “E” up, it was about the size of a kleenex.
  • Nope. He never figured it out. I’m the smart one.
  • BroZ lived with me for about four weeks a couple years ago while we helped get Mom back on her feet post-aneurism. Yes - I lived with my Lil’ Brother AS AN ADULT for FOUR WEEKS and we did NOT kill each other! I think that’s amazing. I even cried when he left.
  • I was always bigger and stronger than my brother. I still am.
  • That’s a lie. He shot up about 10 feet in 7th grade and I did NOT. I have topped out at 5ft 2in while he’s about 6ft 1in. But I’m still stronger.
  • I graduated from High School three years before my brother. I was voted “Most Dependable” as a Senior Superlative. Three years later? He was voted the same thing. It’s in our GENES - the dependability, it is.
  • My dad used to let me take BroZ shopping for clothes as he got older. I always wanted him to wear what was “cool” and “trendy” which, was NEVER good because I had ZERO sense of style. One of these shopping excursions ended with him wearing a pair of purple and black “Hammer Pants” along with a purple t-shirt. I also styled his hair to go WITH the outfit. And I had about as much skill in the hair styling department as I did in the clothing department. In other words? My brother was my giant doll and I sucked at dressing him. I will forever feel dreadful for the humilation he must have felt at my hands. Luckily, he dresses himself now.
  • When I came home from college my first Christmas, BroZ hung up a sign that said “Welcome Home Fatty” or some such compliment.
  • BroZ is training to run his first IronMan in the fall. That is over 100 miles biking, a marathon run, and a 4 or so mile swim. He’s the KRAZEE one in the family.
  • I don’t think there is ANYONE in the world who can make me laugh as hard or as much as BroZ. And only HALF of those times are because he looks funny.
  • I have always been terribly proud of my brother. From showing him off when he visited my High School as an 8th grader, to introducing him to friends as an adult. I have always bragged on everything he does. From leaving Seattle to help take care of Mom when she was sick, to carrying my son around on his shoulders forEVER walking around Las Vegas (it’s hot there, you know). Eventhough I’m the big sister, I will always look up to him as a role model. I love you, BroZ. Happy Birthday.

    The first night LilZ and I started painting his room, I had a bizarro back spasm that kept me from standing up. LilZ had to help me to the bathroom where I soaked in the tub and all was well again. No biggee.

    I spent a good chunk of Saturday painting. I came home for a break and to do some laundry. When I went to stand up from the desk, my back spazzed (spasmed?) again and I couldnt stand up. Only this time? There was no LilZ to help me. Soooo….I got on my hands and knees and decided to crawl to the bathroom to soak in the tub.

    Are you picturing this? You should be…it gets better.

    At that moment, Sweetie decided I was playing a game and started play biting MY ASS. She would nibble and then run away, like we were playing some bizarro form of tag. This, of course, got me laughing because she wouldn’t stop. This, of course, made my back cramp up worse which kept me from doing ANYTHING but maintaining the all-fours position while Sweetie continuously nipped at my ass.

    Luckily, my bathroom is only about 20 feet from the chair the problem started in, so eventually I made it there. I shut the door to look the animals out, and just flattened out on the floor of the bathroom for ten minutes or so, savoring the victory my ass won against my dog.

    This? Is my life.

    Do They Make Bumper Stickers that Say “Ask me about my Boobs?”

    And the saga continues…

    I finally broke down and went to the mall just now to buy a few plain t-shirts in the FIRST maternity section I came to. There would be NO “shopping” or “browsing”. I was going to be in and out and not be detected by ANYONE. The first place I saw? I didn’t even know the name of (Motherhood) until I left. They had pregnant women on the displays - that’s all I needed to know.

    I walked in and IMMEDIATELY started suffering an INSANE anxiety attack where I felt paranoid and guilty. Like, What the HELL am I doing in a MATERNITY store? I mean, I know I’m pregnant, but I’m probably going to miscarry so surely this is deception on some level, right? They are totally going to see right through me and kick me out. How do I get OUT of here?

    Do you SEE how insane I am? From what I understand this is common for “Habitual Aborters” but it doesn’t make it any LESS insane.

    I stepped in and after about 3.2 seconds, the lady started TALKING to me. Can you believe that? She began by asking me if I needed help. And I couldn’t even look her in the eye. I just kept thinking Grab a blue shirt and get the HELL out of here. She asked me my due date, and I stammered. She asked me if this was my first pregnancy, and I broke out in a cold sweat. She asked how far along I was and I just ignored her. Then? I found a plain blue shirt and panicked because OH MY GOD, WHAT SIZE DO I WEAR?

    So, she led me to a dressing room and promptly called mall security about the KRAZEE pregnant lady who was acting suspicious. She told them to wait and she would notify them if the situation escalated. She handed me an Extra-Small first because I’ve ALWAYS worn XS tops and that’s what I asked for. She probably added that to the list of reason why I was IN-FREAKIN’-SANE. I mean, have you seen me lately? EXTRA SMALL? WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING?

    See? I’ve always had size A boobs - size A boobs BELONG in XS tops. That’s what I was thinking.

    Yeah. The top fit beautifully everywhere BUT my boobs. And she asked me the obvious question, “Um, ma’am, what size cup do you wear?” Now - I’ve been ignoring her questions and avoiding eye contact the ENTIRE time I’ve been in the store. But - the second she asks about my boobs? I perked right up and said “A C-Cup, probably needing a D-Cup now…because my boobs have NOT stopped growing in 18 weeks.” And then I just talked and talked and talked about my boobs to this complete stranger who just wanted to help me find a top. We decided, since my boobs would just get BIGGER, I should get a size small top, and leave the xtras smalls to women with SMALL boobs.

    So I left - wearing a shirt with no stains and carrying a bag of basic tanks and tees to hold me over a few weeks. I was very proud I kicked my anxiety long enough to tell the woman about the fact that my boobs were SO small I had to have B-cup pads sewn into my wedding dress less than TWO YEARS ago. Why did I have to tell her that? I don’t know. More importantly - why could I tell her THAT but not answer the question, “how far along are you?” I’m sick, I tell you. If you see me out - don’t ask me if I have picked out any names yet. Ask me about my boobs - those I seem to have NO PROBLEM discussing.
