Odds and Ends…

Yes, I know that it’s been a while since I posted.  I have some excuses as to why it’s been as long as it has but as everyone who has ever coached me sould say, “Excuses are like assholes…everyone’s got one.” So, no excuses…

I don’t really have much to say.  I am typing this as I am watching the newest installment of the RW/RR Challenge so thoughts ont that to come later after I can watch the whole thing.

First, my condolences (for whatever they’re worth) go out about Heath Ledger…Holy shit, and I don’t know why this one hit me hard, or maybe I have some idea, I am just saying…wow!

Okay, on a lighter note, I think Randy Jackson is the most worthless celebrity ever.  “Yo, yo, yo, Dawg.” Him bragging about making Mariah Carey and Janet Jackson stars back in the day is like me bragging that I won a state championship as a coach in high school with Michael Jordan and LeBron James on my team…Seriously, you could put a llama wearing a hoop skirt and a do-rag in that chair, and American Idol would be just as successful as it is now.  He adds nothing.  At least Paula is drunk and crazy.  Simon is mean and generally right.  Randy is just worthless. 

I miss Grey’s and the Office and all of my other great Thursday nite television.  I fully support the writers.  So the fat cats need to come off some money, so my life will be better.  Again, all about me.

I am loving One Tree Hill this season.  It’s new, it’s good and it makes a random Tuesday worth living.

And lastly, I have been catching up with the third season of Lost (more like re-watching) in preparation for next Wednesday’s premeire.  Let’s get excited!!

All right, more details on the Challenge in a later post…

From Magical, to Staged, to Just Downright Sad

I have posted extensively (okay thrice) about how The Hills, your favorite show and mine, is probably somewhat staged, if not all the way fake.  And then this story comes down the pipe that has left me scratching my head.  I may be a little late on this one, but with actual work to do, college football yesterday, etc. I wasn’t surfing the internet aimlessly for something to catch my interest.  But if I had been, I would have seen this little gem on E!  Heidi and Spencer are casting for their wedding?!? Seriously?  They are even casting the part of Heidi’s maid of honor.  In the immortal words of Elodie, “It’s just so sad.”

I think it’s clear that ol’ Heidi and Spencer have had a fall from grace.  Spencer is a douche, Heidi took his side over Lauren’s, and so it is understandable that they have less friends now than they used to.  I get all of that.  But when you don’t even have one, single person to stand up with you?  That is pretty bad.  I have been in more weddings than I would like to remember, which is a thankless job even if it is “an honor” but I have always been under the impression that you just have to say yes when someone asks you to do it.  I mean, for real, does Heidi not even have a sister?

It seems like things are rolling downhill in a bad way for Heidi.  I mean, when you lose your bestfriend, your co-workers’ trust, and then you move in with a guy who decorated your apartment with graffiti and a jellyfish tank, then you know your life is going in the wrong direction- especially when said guy looks like the love child of Beavis and Dracula.

It’s just so sad.  I mean, three years ago, you were in school, starring with your “best friend” on a new reality show about “making it” in LA.  Now you’re a fashion school dropout, you got no friends, and you’re living with that guy above, which has turned you into someone so unpopular that you are having to pay an actress to be your maid of honor.  It’s not too late to turn it around Heidi.  Call me and ask me.  I ain’t rude enough to say no to you…
