Urgh. Had really bizarre dreams last night. Have Sudafed hangover and a fiery throat.

BLEAH

Must be bad brain day. Mine was out of sync in a most odd way. I was listening to outside sounds in time delay where first I would dream/imagine myself listening to the sound then a number of seconds later actually hear. Hard to explain but the idea of my experiences were out of sync with the actualization. Disconcerting.

Does anyone else watch Real Housewives?

I've never seen it, but I have to try and catch it. The mom of a boy staying with us asked me about it because she grew up there. Makes her crazy because of inaccuracy, but still can't help being sucked in when the hair salon is where she had her hair done for her wedding, etc.

Swedish entry for Britain's Got Talent.

Something we'll probably never see on the US version.

I can only imagine if they ever do a Real Housewives of Miami what it'll be like. Or rather, what it won't be like. If the NJ version is big with the mob allusions/association, then the Miami version would be Latina princesses who bear absolutely no resemblance to anyone I knew growing up.

You know this is the real one, right? And the other one has Simon and co pastede on yaye? I mean, I wish that we'd had it on our show, but, alas, no.

is sad

Although the footage of Simon's expression was awesome.

Yes - I couldn't get the Swedish version right off and, well, it's Friday ... there's a limit to how much time I'm going to spend searching YouTube for naked men (there's something profoundly wrong with that statement, but there it is). And Simon's reaction was, indeed, fun.

Just be thankful it wasn't an "like an eye" on webcam from Seans side

Oh... thanks for that image, o_a! ::facepalm::

Zenkitty, that was One the awesomest parts of Skyping in that night! Don't you dare apologize.

Really? Cool. Furthermore, may I just say, you're cuter than you think you are.

I bet all we hear about today is MJ. CNN's got a big Michael Jackson obit on its splash page. Olbermann's entire freakin' show was about Jacko last night. When I popped into Maddow, it looked the same, but I didn't stay. Come on, now. His life was amazing and sad and his death unexpected (though hardly surprising), but other, more important things are going on in the world. You couldn't even spare a minute for Farrah, who deserves better than to be overshadowed by Jacko? I bet Sanford is glad to be eclipsed, though.

I missed the MJ news because of a fussy baby. My DH told me when he got home last night at 8 p.m. The baby is now asleep, it feels like for the first time in two days, and she looks so innocent and cute.

NPR had a story about rhubarb this a.m., so I pulled some out of my freezer. The DH won't eat it, but he's crazy.

Gronklies.

They're currently filming a DC version. From what I've heard, they get the "drama" by having wives of Democrats and wives of Republicans.

What aggravates me the most about these shows is that they purport to call them "Real" housewives. No they fucking aren't. They are rich women who either have enough of their own money to not have to work or husbands that have enough money that they don't have to work. Or at least not have to go to ajob they only marginally like. Real housewives my ass. I'm kind of sick and tired of watching television anymore. They seem to focus on the top 10% of the people that actually live in this country. You want to show real housewives/husbands? Find a lower middle class family where one of the parents is a SAHP. Staying home with kids all day is hard fucking work. Stop showing people who have a staff of 16 to help them do it. It isn't reality and it's really fucking gross. It's just gross.
