Rantwise, this is pretty mellow.
- In my continuing steps toward becoming a total stereotype, my first missed connection has been posted. Really not my best writing effort ever. And against my principal of "Just say hi" which is my favorite opening line.
- Speaking of opening lines and on my earlier post regarding mantras, one of the best things to tell yourself before going out is this one: "Just remember, people are a little overwhelmed by your good looks." Totally works.
- My birthday is October 2. Which is a Monday. Which means it starts on a Friday and ends on a Monday.
- Call it over-planning, but is it better to have a temp-boyfriend in place for your birthday or to keep your options open? Or maybe have a temp-boyfriend that is open to options?
- Only a temp-boyfriend will spend cash on you. Which means I could get this. Which you'll have to watch the video to understand. (Via Gawker)
- And then there's Project Runway. Someone that's met Robert Best tells me he's a great guy. But his storyline was over.
But the truly awesome part is the tiny stories in last night's episode. Laura Bennett's pregnancy is curious, but way more interesting to me is Jeffrey Sebelia. Suddenly he makes sense. His "addiction to alcohol" makes him a "program queen", or, in this case, a "reality program queen". And the whole "my mom is crying because she is so proud of me" self-delusion is compelling as the mother is obviously scared that her son is going to let his bitterness destroy his chances on the show. - Speaking of manufacturing reality, Breaking Up with Shannen Doherty debuted on Oxygen this week as well. It seems that Doherty suffers from the same "hey, no, really, I am super-nice and not a total bitch" affliction from which Tyra Banks suffers. If this show really wants to succeed, Shannen needs to go for the balls (or boobs) and give an unrelenting squeeze.
- And, as this post needs a picture, consider Jeffrey Sebelia as X-Men character Chamber. Chamber lost his mouth and vocal chords in a "psionic blast" and keeps that area covered in black leather. Perhaps Sibelia could take a tip there?
