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.

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.

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.

t might be cranky

Quick catch-up:

Dalton made a good bond, but yeah, he got shitty scripts. However, Daniel Craig will be my OTB for the rest of my life. He even supplanted Sean Connery in my heart and Sean had it for 40 years.

MJ's death has a great deal of surreality surrounding it. It reminds me very much of the reaction when Elvis died. I'm sure we will now have MJ sightings splashed all over the Enquirer and other tabloids. The phrase will morph from "Elvis has left the building" to "Jacko has left the building."

Toddson, thank you so much for the pretty naked Swedish dancing boys. What a great vid to wake up to in the morning.

So, they are Real in the same token that makes True Crime potboilers look realistic?

Does anyone else watch Real Housewives?

I often get sucked in while putting Frisco to sleep. (The TV is the only thing that keeps me from falling asleep myself.) It's a tacky show but it's hard not to watch in a train-wreck sort of way.

Well, the first one was Real Housewives of Orange County, which started soon after the show The OC did, so they were "real" in the sense of "not actors."

I am definitely sick with Drew's F2F cold. Sleep aids did nsm aid, and now I feel like death warmed over. Must perk up for brunch with uncle and then plan to slounge around in bed all day.

It's also a play on "Desperate Housewives"
