Feedback

Honestly folks I realize I am probably the only freak to regularly watch this show - ok a few of you watch it too. Tonight was the final episode and they named Feedback as the winner.

I am disappointed in Stan Lee - He was on this giant screen throughout - I realize it was supposed to be like the Hall of Justice and like the leaders talking to Wonder Woman, Superman, etal. It was weird. And these super hero freaks were just bizaro! The whole thing was hokey. BUt he chose Feedback - who wants to read about a snivelling crybaby. Which superhero cried that much? Ok Arthur, the Tick's moth sidekick was a depressive sort but he was not the hero he was the sidekick! Feedback is a Sidekick at best.

I love Fat Momma but again not a superhero. Honestly she took a million hours to do one task because she was busy asking people for french fries and candy apples. Who asks strangers for their food. I mean honestly we all THINK about grabbing a hot slice from someone's pizza at Modern, we think its wasteful that people don't eat the garlic mashed potatos or that someone would leave half a sundae but WHO ASKS? Apparently Fat Momma.

Excelsior my ass!

Now if I was on the show - my Dark Diva would ROCK THAT HOUSE! I am working on it - yeah, like the million other projects.

No JANK!

And if you haven't watched the Mind of Mencia - GO WATCH IT! He is HYSTERICAL! Great comic - funny. Just did a great skit about a statue of the Virgin of Guadalupe at the border would do more for border control than border patrol. Friggin hysterical. ok but you can't be too sensitive because he rips on everyone.

And you say I'm cocky!

For anyone out there who ever called me cocky for my continuous requests to "take my picture." Or for my routine postings or forwarding of my cuter poses. Or my unresistableness in certain hats. Or my droppin it like its hot in varied and many locales. well, then you NEVER watched Big Brother All Stars. Doc Will is OUT OF CONTROL! He just made love to the camera in a way that was just sort of gross. Ok so he hammed it up - and of course so could I and I would be working that camera too but differently - I would not be licking the lens mostly because of the germs nor would I be humping the pole after his balls were all over it. I would do a little dance, sing a big song, etc. Although I will admit the doc looks cute in a hat too.

The next survivor needs to have a bunch of real dykes and then anyone else. Who will win? Oh we will.

And why and how did I miss the tryouts for Who Wants to be Superhero. Major Victory is a weirdo. but he makes me laugh. He does make a mockery of real superheros. Of course I would know. And Feedback is simply a doofus - super heros DO NOT CRY! And Fat Momma just doesn't get being a superhero - she doesn't want it bad enough in my opinion. I need to be on this show. These guys are wimps. MV wishes he could be with his daughter but he was too busy riding the poles as a stripper. ugh. Ok. I need someone to draw me as a super hero. And, clearly I need to write some of the dialog. Honestly!

Ok, I am going to bed.

Fox new shows!

Prison Break starts tomorrow - Monday the 21st!

Amazing Race starts on September 17th!

Check your local listings for some good shows coming up - or shows that sound good - Smith (with a dermabrasioned and lifted Ray Liota) and Jericho (skeet ulrich and that woman who starred with the Govenator in Kindergarten Cop) included.

Shows I have been obsessed with - Project Runway, Big Brother All Stars (I hate them all but can't stop watching), Who wants to be a superhero (my new persona is way better than ANYONE on that show), and the Girls Next Door (bloggable quote: "That show is so much better with the sound off." Agreed!)

Night my faithful readers!

T-O-L-D!

I have been informed that I actually have to change the copyright, patent pending, trademarked "bloggable" from my name to RiRi's. Ok so she coined the phrase. WHATEVER!

She also reminded me of the following:

1. I don't want to be a pear shaped action figure!
2. "are you getting bitten by mosquitos" foot on table with huge quarter sized swollen bite "no but i did get bit by a recluse spider."
3. Remember the "phase" I was going through when I lost focus. Yeah, like for a year!!!

ITS MY BIRTHDAY!

For those of you prone to forgetting - although who can forget with my constant reminders - my birthday is fast approaching. It would be nothing without a celebration of course so the door is open to anyone wishing to come celebrate. No gifts but BYOB and a chair in a bag or otherwise. I'll have lots of ice, some games, good times, and maybe this year SOMEONE will dress like Wonder Woman for me! Although someone I know does have a WW bracelt that if worn alone might actually suffice. ;)

Movies and Such

I've seen a few movies - via netflix of course.

Tristan & Isolde. If you are someone who likes the tragic love stories of yore, you will like this one. It takes place back in the day when Ireland ruled Britain, or something like that. There were wars, fighting, poison swords, arranged marriages, death of parents, revenge, true love, tragedy, love conquering all yet never materializing because some people still believe in doing the right thing and yet not following their heart and being with their true love. In any event, good movie.

The Producers - Of course Nathan Lane, and Matthew Broderick. Excellent casting of Will Ferrel, UMA thurman, and others as well. The portions that were originally hysterical - were just as hysterical in the remake. Ferrel did a good job as the crazy German, Uma...hot, and the Gay blades - hysterical. If you didnt like the original or the play - dont see it, otherwise put it on the rental list.

Transamerica - great film about a transexual struggling with her decisions, trying to make it in the world but is totally isolated and alone in so many respects. She gets a call from her (gasp) son who was the result of apparently a one night stand. The son was equally lonely and a loner and they trek across the country from NYC to CA together. Great relationship development, great character development (her parents are great! as are the side characters). Must rent.

High Tension - PENNY, STOP READING NOW!!! - billed as a lesbian horror flick. This was the scariest friggin movie I have seen. Why so scarey? Well it was real. Those things you think about happening - happen here. Middle of a farm with corn (hello children of the corn) out in the middle of no where, strange man in jeepers creepers truck comes over, and murders everyone in the house but for the lesbian and the woman she is in love with. The woman is kept hostage and the lesbian follows and thwarts detection mostly. FRIGGING SCAREY lots of gore and killing and a gross scene where the guy was clearly getting ugh serviced and he then picks up the head and throws it out the window. GROSS! I spent fifty percent of the movie with my gingers in my ears and talking to myself because I could not take the friggin murderous noises.

Diary of a Mad Black Woman - Tyler Perry Medea film - CRIED of course. Love, family, not as funny and somewhat similar to Family Reunion - but worth watching if you like Perry.


Well, I am STILL reading Ann Rice for way too many reasons.

Bloggable

The term Bloggable has been used by me to respond to things people do or say that make me want to blog it. I cannot remember lots of it but here are some:

1. My new super hero persona the dark diva
2. My new wonder woman tattoo
3. Booth calling Boo Boo Kitty, Weeble
4. Leon macking on Joe, and then turning his head to find Jodie, to turning his head to finally find Ron.
5. going up to a gay boy at tea dance telling him that I ordered the same glasses and the boy rolling his eyes.
6. Suze's aunt sending her a purse with a note that basically said your purse was too small and dirty and cramped that you needed a new one.

I can only remember these... but know there are more...email me with reminding. I am watching Lemony Snickett AGAIN, doing laundry, and wondering if I can get motivated to go out to get something for lunch.

Enjoy,

Amazing Grace, Cowboy Frank & Tova Borgnine!

I have been given serious flack for the lack of blogging over the course of the last few weeks. And so, here I am writing on this gloomy, humid, boring Sunday.

Leon and I recently returned from five days in the Cape. Some of you may recall that my gunned cousin, with whom I was travelling, is afraid of heights, bridges, small places, etc. Instead I was plagued with memories of being forced by this same cousin behind the driver's seat (WHEN I WAS 15 and not yet driving) before the Newport bridge by this same cousin. I decided forget it, he is on his own. I was proud of him. Through some deep breathing, he was able to make it over the bridge without incident. We carried forward!

Started in Nantucket - not my cup of tea although I did spend some quality time at the lighthouse at Brant Point. Great time reading, listening to the waves and reading my book - yes, I am still watching the Witching Hour. Excellent!!!

We headed to P-town after a long boat ride. The exciting and likely tragic thing is that a sea plane went down in the water. Leon will never be able to go on a seaplane of course. Despite it, it wasn't really our issue now was it, we thereafter made the trek to the familiar Route 6 to Ptown.

Suprisingly enough we found a great bed and breakfast - the Dexter Inn - suprising because we made late reservations! The upside was the fabulous owners: john, john, and not john - and I got to hold john's daytime emmy! that's right - day time emmy! whoo hoo. Lee drove and his truck was quickly deemed the dyke mobile and had to be manuevered into a parking space in the corner so that all the cars could fit. The scene had been set and everyone knew us as the driver of the dyke mobile and his cousin.

The downside of day one was that I had to sleep in the same bed with Leon and share a BATHROOM with three gay men. highlight the word MEN. Boys are just not as clean as women and let me just tell you this ... at this B&B you had to at least bring in a towel to dry your hands after washing. These boys went into the bathroom with a book or magazine or their moist toilettes. And then came out after flusing. There is also a holding of the pee-pee which I am sure happens, and again, no washing. There was not enough purell or bacterial soap for me to feel clean. But I knew the next day at least I would only have one gayboy to share it with - leroy.

We spent lots of time walking commercial street, Tea dances, and hanging with the rest of the tenants at the Dex - Val and Gwen and Russ & Joe. Leon, being tall, had some trouble getting into the doorway - reading, he kept slamming his head on the door jam and actually drew blood. hehehe. Val had to post a sign reading "Duck" and on the reverse "duck, goose." Cute.

Day one found Mike (a fabulous intellectual who was finding himeself and taking a writing course); and Joe. Day 2 found, wait for it, Cowboy Joe. or was it Frank. Good lord, I had to watch this boy sling his thing and spit his chew in a bottle. And then there was Ron - great guy. A bear back rubber too! Of course, a bit of mistaken identity had him a prisoner on house arrest. Thankfully that turned out false. Amazing Grace appeared on day two as well - what a suprise to see her! It had been many many years. Poor thing was traumatized by leon's questions of her intentions toward me. Day 3 was Joe, Jody, and Ron. Day 4 we left.

In addition to having fun in the street and people watching, we also found ourself watching lots of tv. well not lots but when our bodies were suffering from heat exhaustion and sun stroke, we needed something to occupy us while bringing our body heat down. What did we watch? A few episodes of What not to Wear and Flava of Love (what a sick gross person). We also put on Legally Blonde. There was a character played by a popular, back in the day, actress. I kept saying Stephanie Powers. Leon after moments of silence said it was Tovah Borgnine. WHO? Well, come to find out, it was Raquel Welch. Apparnetly both Tovah and Raquel have shows on QVC. Who would know that other than a qvc whore like leon - no one I tell ya. Who even heard of Tovah!!!

I can't believe its been like a week and a half since the vacation - and the only way I know it happened is that I am still the brown goddess. ;)
