I am willing to believe that the tail is the fork anywhere people eat shrimp.

Seriously, given that when you eat mussels in France you use the first of the empty shells as your fork for the others, I'm willing to believe that the tail would be the fork in Italy, despite what Catherine de Médicis might say.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Big Brother: I feel like it's been a long time since there's been an eviction vote that wasn't totally lop-sided because "that's what we're supposed to do!" Intruiging. In a BB context, of course...

Because books.

Now (remember this is my first season), this decision is completely in the hands of voters?

Also, the group hugs were interesting -- the gender group plus the person's first-half partner. Sweet.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Chiarello is so skeevy! Ew.

Hey, that's my cousin! Except, yeah, he kind of is. Though IME with the men in that family, they are all secretly very shy and put on an overly genial front to cover which looks a lot like Michael's on-air skeeviness (I don't actually know him personally, he might be skeevy irl, too). But still, I'll have to tell my mom he won.

Really really aside - it's weird that he mentioned being Southern Italian b/c our family is from the north. I guess his mom could be.

Okay, who's going to see the Fame movie? I will be there, I don't care. I may have to be restrained from singing along with the theme song.

I'll go see it!!

I'm waiting for results, but am a bit annoyed by the bottom two boys, but as long as the right one goes home, I'll suck it up.

Likewise for the girls...crossing my fingers that the right one goes home...

Also, OMG could they PLUG that "More to Love" show ANY HARDER?? Good GRIEF. I mean, I actually think the women on that show as far as I can tell in the brief clips look better than the "bachelor", but...good GRIEF.

(OMG, Debbie Allen riffing on her weave just cracked me up)
