Ai-yai-yai, I am the margarita bandito
Despite the fact that the hamsters thought the margarita party would be Monday, it was actually tonight.
Here's what went down in that Big Brother House of Sombrero-Heads since I last wrote:
- Sheila claims she's been acting badly because she hasn't had enough sleep. Mind you, she takes (and begs for) Tylenol PM every night. I'm wondering if she's a person with sleeping problems supported by pills before moving into the house.
- Alex has some honor on a wall at Surf Taco in NJ for eating a 3-foot taco in under 15 minutes. I've never been to Surf Taco. I do (did?) have my name as a high scorer in a Pac-Woman video game in a bus terminal Pittsfield, MA, though.
- Alex can do nifty-keen cartoon voices.
- When they started talking about BB8 Jen-sa Mamber having a web site selling her shirts before CBS knew it, we got the fireplace.
- Margarita party!
- Pinatas with little prizes -- rings, lipsticks, fake tattoos, etc.
- Sombreros for all.
- Then came the nudity (covering my eyes). First Natalie was practically bottomless wearing a thong.
- They were told there's a time limit on the party. I find it interesting that the party had to end before the ShoToo BBAD show kicked in. I guess they don't want it to be on there. Hmmm.
- James walked around nude with a pinata covering his 'bidness.
- Natalie's boobs are so not real. And I don't think they need smiley face tattoos on them either.
- By 8:15 PM their time, the party was shut down and all the HG had to go to the yard, still sombrero'd, yet clothed.
- It hailed there. They found it exciting. I don't recall it ever hailing when I lived in Southern California.
- Matt and Natalie argued. He's mad because she told others he didn't want to have sex with her. Matt told her that she's just not his type -- he doesn't care for the outgoing, naked in public type. She cried. He apologized.
- Natalie later told Chelsia she was just mad, not crying. Sure.
- The girls talked about how Matt is playing all of them. (And he thinks he's Mr. Slick, eh?)
- Natalie confronted Matt about hitting on every girl in the house yet getting upset about her nudity. He told her he doesn't want the discussion in public. He said she's right about everything and he's sorry.
- Matt is now sure he's going home.
Maybe James and Chelsia will now have to have a reverse EPIC and RUTHLESS move and go back to the original target to shake things up!
Yes, it's another Zoetawny graphic for our nominated couples!
My latest feeds report is up over on TV Squad and I'll be posting more here late tonight.
Quick! Call the medics! Have the guys in the little white coats respond to the Big Brother house immediately!
Send therapists! Send psychiatrists! Send people with sharp needles and straight jackets!
Oh, wait. It seems they'll only come for medical emergencies, not psychiatric ones. If they came for the latter we'd be down to a houseguest or two ... maybe.
Here's what happened after all of the excitement last night:
- Sharon told Matt and Natalie that they were the pawns. (Of course, the EPIC and RUTHLESS plan of James and Chelsia where they're going to vote them out includes leading Natalie and Matt on!)
- Sheila once again wants Tylenol PM -- probably her head wants to explode from screaming and ranting so much. She claims it's from all the snoring and BB won't even give her ear plugs.
- Joshuah and Ryan want Alex/Amanda and Adam/Sheila on the block next week (taking in the idea that Matt and Natalie go home this week).
- There was a brief gathering of all the HG in the Diary Room with the producer's voice saying that Amanda and Allison would return and they have the flowers requested by the HG for them.
- Natalie doesn't feel well. She has a horrible headache and no appetite.
- Amanda came back into the house first -- at about 10 PM their time.
- Amanda still isn't feeling well; Natalie feels sicker.
- Amanda said that she and Allison were in different rooms for treatment.
- Sheila continued to fuss and moan. She wants Joshuah to use the POV so she can be put on the block and go home.
- Sheila cried because she left her son to be in the house. (Shouldn't she thought of that before now?)
- Allison came back about 20 minutes after Amanda. It might not have been a peanut allergy -- she has to have more tests to see what caused the reaction although it was definitely an allergic reaction to something, not an illness.
- Matt doesn't want to share the bed with Natalie in case she's contagious.
- Sheila, Amanda, and Amanda all made up with each other. Sheila wants BB to change the slop back to PB&J -- she thinks it's why people are getting sick.
- James thinks Sheila is bipolar.
- Joshuah practiced his Veto speech -- "let the house decide."
- Ryan thinks Sheila is too touchy to talk anything about the game.
- James and Chelsia talked small talk getting to know each other even better.
- He didn't tell her about the gay porn appearances.
- James and Chelsia couldn't sleep for the longest time, but all are asleep as I get this posted.
Amanda had what appears to have been a seizure and passed out. Joshuah pushed the panic button which summons the police. The feeds were blocked, when they came back Amanda isn't in the house. She's in the hospital. Allison might be, too. Alex said her face was full of hives and swollen so he hardly recognized her. She seems to be missing from the house, too.
Josh thinks Amanda was overreacting. Sheila wonders if Jen or Parker will return.
I thought Allison's symptoms sounded like an allergic reaction and someone said she had peanuts and she's allergic. Amanda said earlier she had hypoglycemia issues.
I'm awaiting an update post over on TV Squad to appear, but here's the main news:
- Joshuah and Sharon won POV
- Sheila is freaking out over and to Allison.
- Joshuah and Sharon don't plan to use POV but aren't telling Sheila.
- I've been uncontrollably sneezing all day.
James curls up alone just a little while ago. Since I took the screen cap, he's gotten up, gone through a half-dozen tissues sneezing, snorting, and popping a pimple on his back. Finally he headed into the HOH room. Everyone else is asleep.
As I mentioned briefly last night, the nominations are in -- Alex/Amanda and Matt/Natalie.
In other happenings from inside that Big Brother House of Brazen Buffoons:
- The food challenge had something to do with fish and basketball, apparently.
- Allison had what she thinks is an asthma attack. She's not asthmatic.
- Alex and Amanda are the target this week and Natalie had volunteered to go up as a pawn. Matt is of the "pawns don't work and get voted out" school.
- Alex complained about the slop. (Jolt my memory -- wasn't it Alex on the promos a while back scoffing at people who whined about slop?)
- Amanda gave a hint that during the nominations ceremony, they made it sound like it was due to her that she and Alex were put on the block.
- Adam told Matt he has his back. Matt told him he told Parker the same thing.
- Sheila thinks Allison has changed since she got off the block.
- They joked about how "expect the unexpected" this season might mean getting HIV from another houseguest.
- Matt claims that he was a pimp, bringing women to houses for sexual liaisons and that the statute of limitations is over for his crime.
- Allison told Matt that he has her vote to stay because Alex and Amanda crossed her.
- Sheila is still hungry and isn't as thrilled with the slop as she was earlier. She wants a Tylenol PM so she can sleep.
- Alex told the others that Amanda is a virgin.
- Amanda got into some sort of crying streak.
- Chelsia and James talked about winning POV to make an "epic" move -- removing Alex and Amanda from the block and voting out Natalie and Matt. They would make a deal with Amanda and Alex and it's supposed to be some sort of huge game move plan. I dunno.
- They're all asleep as I get this posted.
Nominations are in: Alex and Amanda, Natalie and Matt.
Uh-oh.
Although I won't be writing this episode up in its entirety, I will post the big news here as it airs here on the east coast.
Your comments and discussion, as always, are welcome!
Hydra lost -- Lennox, Piers, Marilu, and Carol.
Marilu Henner was fired.
The show has started here on the east coast. I'll update this post as important events (immunity, boot, and such) happen.
My full review of the episode will be posted on TV Squad later tonight.
Please feel free to comment on the show happenings ... you know I love to know what you're thinking!

Fans win immunity!
Yau-Man was voted off thanks to Cirie.
Hey, if I have to suffer watching him pop his pimples when I'm sick, so do you.
Here's the lowdown from inside the Big Brother House of Mean People:
- After their big HOH, James and Chelsia got all snuggly. His gay porn days might have been just for the money, I guess.
- Chelsia later got drunk.
- There were more whispers about the lesbian lovers. Most have really bought into the story. Have you? ;-)
- Ryan and Adam realize the lesbian lovers bit is a lie and don't seem upset.
- Sharon thinks the Allison/Sheila alliance is strong and needs to be broken up.
- Sharon is wary of "screwing over" everyone and then not winning in the end.
- Sunday is the bikini day, Monday is the margarita party.
- Joshauh doesn't want to go on the block, not as a pawn, not as anything.
- James didn't go up to the HOH room until the wee hours after falling asleep downstairs.
- The HG really overdid it with the alcohol and many have headaches. Amanda doesn't think they'll get any more alcohol for a few days.
- Matt told James that they almost shaved off his mohawk while he was passed out.
- They don't like the no hot water, Sheila seems especially irked.
- Nominations are today, but haven't been made yet as I get this written up.
- James thinks Adam, Sheila, and Allison are playing the game dirty, spreading rumors and stuff.
- The feeds were blocked for a food comp which was apparently quite physical.
- Adam, Sheila, Amanda, and Alex are on slop.
- Sheila is fussing about her health.
- Alex thinks the table got smaller, but no one else does.
I've been asked to post my actual show review over on TV Squad tonight, but will post the big news as it airs here on the East Coast. Your comments are welcome!
8:35 PM ET Update -- Still no eviction. They've laid it out like could be a tie with Adam and Sheila still up in the air. It's not going to go down that way, I'm sure.
The votes were not live and they didn't reveal how each couple voted. It was 3-1 for Jen and Parker to go.
Chelsia and James are the new HOH couple.
Yep, the cams are all trivia now, have been for a while, and I expect things to remain pretty much blocked into the live eviction show.
I'm still feeling way under the weather here, but was asked to review tonight's episode for TV Squad as the regular reviewer can't do it. I said I would. So, I'll just have an east coast update post here once the show starts and I'll definitely get the boot and new HOH news posted on this blog.
In other live feeds news from that Big Brother House of Wayward Whackos:
- Sheila said being Pet of the Year (Penthouse) only paid $5,000.
- Amanda tried to get an alliance going -- her, Alex, Joshuah, and Sharon. Joshuah didn't seem too receptive.
- Matt talked about when he was on Fear Factor.
- James thinks there's only five weeks left. He's not considering that the couples may be split up long before then.
- Joshuah and Sharon know that if they vote to save Parker and Jen they would be targeted.
- The fact that Allison has said she didn't really need the money is indeed coming back to haunt her as I said it would. She told them the other day she earns over 100 grand a year.
- The girls are talking yeast infections from the hot tub. Ewww.
- BB made an announcement that everyone with tattoos must cover the inappropriate ones while the ShoToo BBAD is on. Geez!
- Natalie is still way more into Matt than Matt will ever be into her. Wake up, girl!
- Parker still hopes the vote is a tie (but I don't think it will be).
- Jen and Ryan went at it ... again. At least it was in bed, not the bathroom stall.
- Much of today has been cleaning, primping and blocked feeds.
Another great graphic from Zoetawny!
The show has started here on the east coast. I'll be constantly updating this post as it airs. Please be warned that I'm somewhat under the weather -- my typing speed and accuracy (in typing) might be a bit off tonight.
Of course, you're welcome to comment. I swear I won't pass on the flu to you!
Recap city. It's too bad they didn't show Joshuah running again to tell Neil the lesbian secret. That was the best part of that!
Jen's all weepy and it's her own darn fault. Had they kept a secret it would be diffrent. Parker and Allison are both blaming thir partners for being on the block ... as they should at this point.
Amanda ... bueno is NOT a greeting.
There. I got that out of my system.
Parker and Amanda have a thing for each other, but we already knew that. Joshuah explains how he chose Sharon to replace Neil. And all they said was "family emergency." When Sharon found out that Jen lied (basically) on the first day when she said (or omitted) that she knew no one in the house.
Amanda thinks Alex is mean to her. Alex thinks she "flaunts her stuff." So Parker massages her. Alex thinks she's letting her emotions interfere with her game.
Lovebirds ... Jen and Ryan. Jen tells us how cuddly and touchy-feely her relationship with Ryan is. "We are human. We have needs." Oh, great. We're going to get the sex in the bathroom stall bit.
Sheila and Allison are back on thir lesbian lovers story. Chelsia tells James. He falls for it and thinks that's why Sheila has been mean to Adam and there could be other couples.
When James voices his suspicions to Alex, Alex thinks Amandar (as he says it) and Parker have a previous relationship. Amanda freaks out at Alex because she put her hand on the Bible!
Parker gets bent out of shape and confronts James ... and it was never James who even said Parker and Amanda! Preschool! Amanda thinks Alex created the whole drama-fest out of jealousy. @@
My God. These people all deserve each other.
Alex tells Amanda that it bothers him that she walks around like a slut. She gets upset. I'm not sure why he has feelings for her. What is wrong with the cast? These are not love matches! Sheesh.
It's onto picking players for the veto comp. Joshuah will host, and Matt and Natalie were randomly selected to participate. Matt told Parker he'd use it to save him, but told us he won't.
The yard is all hearts. One is on a heart and the partner will spin while the spinning person holds a panic button. I'm getting sick watching them spin. Allison's finger came off the button. Amanda deliberately let go of her button. Alex is ticked off at her. Matt and Natalie won. Jen blames the loss on Parker.
Matt is still playing Parker in that he'll use the veto to save him. Silly Parker.
Amanda walks out on Alex because he told her he doesn't want to cuddle and wants to concentrate on his game. He's definitely not keen on her relationship with Parker ... and I know from watching the feeds, she's all over Parker!
It's time for the POV ceremony. It bothers Matt that Parker is paired with Jen. He'd save Parker by himself in a moment. With the couples thing, if the winning POV holders can't agree, it's not used. They don't use it claiming Alex and Amanda put them up in the best interest of the house. Parker tells us whatever. Jen is ready to fight.
Parker just looks so dejected.
Blech. I don't believe it's a cold which hit me so quickly and hard. I think I have the flu. I feel horrible, didn't go into work today because I can barely hold my head up (except to cough).
At least the houseguests are cooperating. Nothing much has gone down in the past 24 hours. I have a new report up on TV Squad.
I plan to live blog tonight's show (unless I conk out beforehand), so please stop back during the show!
Oh ... I did love Dexter the other night and plan to watch it each week. However, I won't be blogging about it on a regular basis because it's on late at night and Monday mornings can be a bear at work.
Argh. I woke up today with the world's worst cold. Right now I'm pumped up with Dayquil, but blech. So it this seems a bit short and sweet, it's me not them. Well, it could be them. Yeah, I'll blame them.
Here's the real basics of what happened in the Big Brother House of Those Who Can't Make it With Real Jobs:
- Ryan said he doesn't believe in interracial relationships (yet Jen is partnered with Parker).
- Parker says he will refuse to talk in the DR or at media appearances. He says the contract says he has to show up, but doesn't address actual talking.
- Joshuah and Sheila tried to figure out who's more hateful -- Amanda or Jen.
- Alex told Matt that BB was begging Parker to go to the DR and he refused.
- Jen seems irked that the cameras are watching her. Well, duh.
- Parker is still mad that he was coupled with Jen.
- Amanda said she cried all night and had planned to stay in the HOH room all day.
- Amanda told Natalie they can't trust Jen and she's probably going home.
- Someone poured water on Allison/Ryan's bed last night and they have all kinds of theories.
- Jen has a rashon the back of her legs and asked that the BB doctor check it out.
- BB gave them a scale so they can weigh themselves. Joy, joy.
- Amanda is still upset at Josh and went on about she had never even kissed Parker yet.
- Lots of small talk and that's about it. No fireworks today ... yet.
... will be up at TV Squad later this morning!
I've already told you the biggest news -- the nominations are remaining the same. Here's more from that Big Brother House of Dastardly Dawgs and the Bimbos Who Fall For Them:
- Matt and Parker would like to see James go. Of course, Parker might be gone long before James is even on the block.
- Ryan admitted he likes Allison and could see hanging with her, but Jen thinks she's a goody-two-shoes.
- Parker spent most of the day moping around.
- Parker and Amanda talked. He told her it's unattractive to keep being reminded of his faults. He also told her that he didn't go into the hot tub last night because James was in there with his "nasty ass."
- Amanda and Parker kissed.
- Natalie thinks that Amanda has backstabbed her (by telling Matt that she's interested in him after the game?) and let Joshuah, Sharon, and Ryan know that she's only pretended to be her friend since the first day.
- Allison told Amanda that she asked Ryan who the biggest threat in the house is and he told her Parker (not surprising since he's up on the block against Parker, eh?). He then said the second biggest threat is Amanda/Alex. Mind you, she's telling Amanda this.
- Sharon thinks Jen is a backstabber.
- Both Sheila and Sharon talked about how stupid it was for Jen and Ryan to tell anyone they're a couple. Duh.
- They're mad that Parker said the women in the house are only a 6.
- Parker thinks that the only attractive woman in the house is Amanda.
- Jackie thinks Parker has bad taste.
- Sheila thought Alex was attractive until he said how much he wanted Amanda (?) but said she wouldn't "do" any of the guys in the house.
- Parker thinks that Sheila might have been an 8 in her Penthouse days.
- A big brouhaha broke out over Parker and his 6 call. @@
- Jen told Allison that she hopes America realizes that she's on the block because she wouldn't vote out her boyfriend ... she's just that loyal to him! Yeah, right.
- Jen also indicated that she's sure to win and she was so sorry Allison would have to go.
- The HG think that the $750 a week stipend isn't enough. I think the viewers should all be paid $750 a week to watch!
- Matt talked to Alex and Adam about his sexual opinion of the girls. I pity any woman in his life. He's a dawg pig!
- He claimed to the camera for his ex-girlfriend that he wouldn't and didn't "sex" anyone. Um. Lost cause boy here. There, not here. Thankfully.
- Adam told Matt and Alex he would keep his word to vote out Allison and Ryan, but he wasn't sure of Sheila.
- Jen told Parker and Sharon that Sheila told Allison she'd vote her out.
- Meanwhile, Allison and Sheila are all kinds of chummy with the exception of lesbian lover chummy.
- Matt told Parker he's playing Allison.
- Amanda and Natalie are in the hot tub as I get this posted. They think James and Matt are fighting, but Alex said they weren't when they asked.
- Apparently there is something going on -- Sharon just confirmed it. Natalie ran off saying she had to talk to "Matty." @@
These people are whacked.
The show has started here on the East Coast. As it airs, I'll constantly be updating this post. Please forgive any typos. And, of course, please feel free to jump in with your comments!
Oh, it's a memory wall. Matt's full of himself and how good-looking he is. Parker and James talk about how big Jen's mouth is about how great looking she is. Why aren't James and Parker going off about Matt? Of course, Matt told us, not them. Jen said because she was first on the wall, it means she will win.
Allison is SO not happy about Ryan having his girlfriend Jen in the house. She confides in Parker. Allison is threatening to reveal the "secret" that Jen and Ryan are boyfriend/girlfriend. Allison wants to convince Ryan to go against Jen. Ryan promised Jen he would choose to ally with her over Jen.
Amanda tells all that her father committed suicide. Although it's all probably true, I think she's putting the rest of the house through a bit of a guilt trip. She tells them that that's why she is always happy and smiling.
Even Chelsia thinks more of Amanda now.
HOH room reveal. There's a nautical theme and a photo of Amanda and Alex. Alex also has a cross he made from the WTC where his father died on 9/11. AHA! I just thought of who Amanda reminds me of -- Jason Bateman!
Allison is having real difficulties dealing with the couple situation paired with Ryan. She says she's done. Everyone (Parker and Jen) want her to just shut up and deal with it.
James tells Jen that Adam's name is the Hooded Warrior. Adam tells them he's uncircumsized. He shows them all. This is just too weird.
Allison seeks out Sheila for emotional support. Parker and Ryan discuss putting everyone onto Jen and Ryan beofre Allison spills the beans. He tells Alex and Matt. Alex is concerned that he waited before telling them. Now they mistrust Parker to an extent. Then it's off to tell Natalie and Amanda. Amanda is ticked that Jen kept a secret from her.
Allison tells Matt that they told her not to tell and she's mad that they did say something. Matt told her that they only told a few people. Matt tries to get Allison on his side.
Jen is way smug when confronted by Allison and freaks a bit. Allison just looks shocked at her reaction. Argue, argue, fuss, fuss. Now Sheila knows. Allison is pushing that she didn't tell anyone (she didn't come out and tell Shelia earlier), but Jen did.
Allison is crying to Joshuah and Neil about it all. Now the house wonders what other secrets might be out there. (Maybe they'll find out Neil is Sharon!) They all swear on the Bible that they know no one in the house.
Alex and Matt immediately click and promise to partner to the end. A new alliance is born -- Alex/Amanda and Matt/Natalie. They decide to put up Ryan and Jen and Parker and Allison ... not necessarily in that order!
Sheila and Allison grow closer. As a matter of fact, they decided they'll be lesbian lovers. They're having fun, but then tell Joshuah they're in a relationship. They ask him not to tell anyone. He's shocked. He's in disbelief.
Josh runs to tell Neil after he promised secrecy. Neil cracked up. Then they tell Chelsia they're partners and adopted a son.
Sheila talks to Parker about her issues with Adam. "Nothing he can say or do can redeem himself." Alex thinks Sheila is mean to Adam. Now Alex and Matt are defending Adam and Parker's just giggling.
Adam confronts Sheila, she runs off screaming expletives. The others think it puts a target on Sheila and Adam and Shiela is crumpled crying on her bed as the commercial starts.
Nominations today. Allison is worried and thinks that the Ryan/Jen coupling will get her nominated. Adam thinks if he and Sheila get nominated, it will be Sheila's fault for making him look bad.
I just can't stand Allison's voice.
Time for the nominations ceremony. Key order is: Sheila and Adam, James and Chelsia. Matt and Natalie, Neil and Joshuah.
They say that the reason is because of the previous relationship between Jena and Ryan. Allison thinks Jen made her own bed. Jen is crying and then acts stupid and smug in the DR. Parker is nowhere near smug. Alex thinks they should suffer.
My most recent feeds report is over on TV Squad.
Although that was written hours ago and since then the hamsters have all arisen, there really isn't a heck of a lot of new news.
The PoV ceremony was supposed to go down at 12 noon their time, but may or may not have happened. The feeds have been blocked for a few intervals, but there's been no concrete confirmation that the event has occurred. The current indications seem to be that the nominations will probably not be changed.
Natalie is upset that Amanda called her a whore. Um, well, too bad, so sad. Not that Amanda's all that much better, but you make your bed, you lie in it, Natalie. Open your eyes ... Matt cares nothing about you no matter what you do under the covers!
I'll be live-blogging tonight's show from here on the east coast and will post another feeds report here later this evening.
UPDATE: PoV was NOT used, noms remain Parker/Jen and Ryan/Allison.
Now, what the heck is that, you ask? Is it a phone? Is it a Supertramp album? Neither. It's a bin which holds bags of salt at the Bound Brook NJ Transit Train Station. The Supertramp graffiti stencil caught my eye. Unless there's a new movement for the band, I'd imagine it's been there for well over a decade, perhaps two.
I've noticed that since I found out exactly how bad my knee is, it seems to hurt more. Ow. It's back to work tomorrow after a week off. Wah. But I have a lot to do to prepare before the surgery -- quad-strengthening exercises, save money towards insurance deductibles, stockpile canned goods and other necessities for a long confinement, etc. I already know the supermarkets in the area who deliver, plus the good folks at the local corner store have volunteered to bring over anything I might need. Then I'll have to get my apartment totally set up for the maximum use with minimum movement.
I'll take another vacation week (I have five) before going under the knife (or saw ...eek!) mainly to get the apartment set up. I don't want to spend time in a rehab facility but understand it's going to be very rough for at least the first few weeks. But it will all be worth it. If I take a vacation next year at this time, I'll be able to photo-stomp Chinatown for the Lunar New Year, something I had hoped to feel up to this year but couldn't.
In the Lost news department -- I screwed up recording the show and somehow recorded the wrong channel. Ack. I tried to watch it online at ABC, but something is screwy with their video versus my computer. I get the audio fine, but only a white box in lieu of the video. I'll have to rerecord it this week when it repeats on Thursday. Grr.
I'll be posting a feeds update a bit later over on TV Squad. I'm having some trouble not making it all sound like porn.
Enough of this ... it's onto today's TV newsy bits:
- We all know by now, the WGA strike is OVER! Yay, the writers got a decent package! TV Squad has about all the strike news you need to know right here. That includes articles on when shows we love (or hate) can be expected back.
- An extremely odd note -- I'm not finding an interviews with Mary, Survivor's boot from last week. The sites which usually have exclusive interviews with the castaways have nada with her. Very odd.
- American Idol will feature songs of the '60s next week, like that's never been done before. Now, I have to admit that I enjoy that era but I always wonder what the teens who are so hung up on the show think about it. Aren't there good songs from the new generation out there?
- Speaking of American Idol, there's a brouhaha brewing over Carly Smithson who had a professional record deal under a different last name a few years back. Should she be allowed to compete? Of course, I just like to use the phrase "brouhaha brewing" and don't have any real stake in things whether she's in it or not.
- According to The Hollywood Reporter, the recent episode of Lost had its worst ratings of the season. I feel it's my fault. I'm sorry. I swear I'll watch the repeat next week!
- So You Think You Can Dance (about the only dancing show I get into) will return on May 22. Fine, I'll be out of commission for a few weeks around that time, but I'll surely manage to watch the show ... even in the hospital room.
Today's musical non-sequitur:
Could we have kippers for breakfast
Mummy dear, Mummy dear
They got to have 'em in Texas
'Cuz everyone's a millionaire
--"Breakfast in America" by Supertramp
Ai-yai-yai, I am the margarita bandito
