Ever think you work for a psychopath?

You probably do.

Garden Gnome Goes Wild: "Nonetheless, Marianne says, 'He's welcome home with open arms and he has repented for going places where he shouldn't have gone.' "

Nice to see someone have a sense of humor about it.

TV Time

Some thoughts on last night's TV offerings:

Idol - I didn't watch it, and I'm glad I didn't have to see Nadia eliminated, even though I could see it coming along with everyone else. While I think that among other bottom 3 people like Scott (*gag*) and Anthony, she is certainly more marketable, and has the career potential beyond most of the contestants (besides pretty Carrie), she just doesn't fit the Idol mold. Hopefully we'll see her out there on her own some day. Good job, Nadia.

Alias - I'm going to cheat and just copy and paste an e-mail I sent out earlier today:

Most. Bestest. Episode. This. Season.

Not a scene wasted, except for the scrubbing the sink/Weiss scene, but even then we got the reveal of Nadia on the phone to Auntie Katya.

Vaughn – I was really loving him in this episode. Normally I’m left wanting more from him as far as emoting goes, but he did well last night. Plus, he yelled in French, my favorite thing he does! Poor him, though, that his father was dead all this time. But also good because that means that he didn’t abandon his family. The blonde woman was really good, I thought – too bad she got the life shot out of her. I loved, “Consider this your second rejection by the CIA!” Woo!

Jack has a genetic mutation, huh? Will he develop floppy fingers? I wonder how this will manifest itself. They'd better not kill SpyDaddy. I mean it.

Sloane, Sloane, Sloane. He must be pooping in his pants right now (and said poop is about to hit the fan for him). Now, I understand that he’s being set up in regard to the Vaughn heist of the Rambaldi manuscript (yay Rambaldi!) by the fake Sloane, but do you think he’s also being set up by Irina/Katya for the contract on Syd? Or do you think he really put that contract out on her and set up Irina? I’d like to think that he really did it.

That’s all I can think of for now. Except that next week looks amazing.

Feel free to discuss!

Letter of Fug

Y'all, I'm So Tired: "And you'd think that would be all the bad things that would happen to me but no, then I found out that Bit Bit is PREGNANT and the Puppy Daddy is MY BROTHER BRYAN'S DOG. That is INCEST, y'all. INCEST is totally wrong and gross, which I have learned from watching Passions recently, and also from the Bible and stuff. What am I supposed to do? My dog can't have an incest baby, but I can't get the dog an abortion but what if her puppies have two heads or little fish gills or something? That is NOT RIGHT. I don't have TIME to deal with INCEST PUPPIES. "

If all the Go Fug Yourself girls ever wrote was a weekly letter from Britney, it would still make that site worth visiting.

Finger Food

Woman Won't Sue Wendy's for Alleged Finger: "Court records show Ayala has filed at least six lawsuits in the San Francisco Bay area, and she acknowledged receiving a settlement for medical costs a year ago after claiming that her daughter was sickened after eating at a Las Vegas restaurant. "

"Emotional distress" my ass.

Say it ain't so.

Joaquin Phoenix in alcohol rehab: "He starred in a number of notable films, including 'The Village' and 'Gladiator,' and plays hard-living country singer Johnny Cash in an upcoming movie."

Sounds like he took his job home with him. I hope he straightens out soon.

Good God.

Woman sold daughter for car: "The youngest daughter is three months pregnant, the report said; she was 11 when her mother first forced her to have sex with a man. The older daughter refused to be a prostitute and was allegedly sold for a car."

Vote Rick James, B*tch!

Pickles and Randy Pants, sittin'g in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G

"... oh, Camilla, the hat. ".

The dress - perfection. What possessed her to put that straw in her hair?

LOST will go out with a bang.

A 2-part, 3 hour season finale: "'We were going to do a two-hour finale [over two weeks], and then ABC asked if we could do 90 minutes [the second week] so they could schedule it against American Idol. Carlton [Cuse] and Damon [Lindelof, who co-created the show with J.J. Abrams,] did an amazing job on the finale script, and their first draft came in a little long anyway. [ABC] looked at it and decided to do a two-hour. So 'Exodus Part 1' will air on May 18th, and the epic saga that is 'Exodus Part 2' will air May 25th. The final two hours is so full of incident and character and shocks and scares and drama, all the things that people love about Lost, that it would have been silly to cut things out. "

Oh boy!

It's a nice day for a comeback.

Billy Idol is back for more, more, more: "The pop-punk patriarch has just released 'Devil's Playground,' his first full-length album since 1993's unremarkable 'Cyberpunk.' With five million-sellers already under his belt, Idol hopes 'Playground' will return him to the top of the charts."

I hope he does it.

Check out the photo, though - yikes!!

And I ask, Why?

Wow.

She's only 18?

Drive-By Reviews

I, Robot - This was good. A bit difficult to take everything in on the small screen sometimes, and there's NO WAY technology (and society) will have progressed so much and be so pervasive as early as 2035, but it was a good story (inspired by Asimov), decent acting and lots of action.

The Bourne Supremacy - Again, I was very satisfied with this one. I've read all the Bourne books (long time ago), and the movies bear only a slight resemblance to them (or my memory of them), but they are enjoyable in their own right. I would like to see a third Bourne movie, especially if they retain Joan Allen's character.

My Prrrrecious Valentine

This week's 'Idol' was really pretty bad, with the theme being show tunes. Now, I know they aren't the easiest thing to sing, but the song choices by the contestants were inexplicable. Bo couldn't find something from Jesus Christ Superstar, or Hair, or Godspell?? I mean come on, Pippi Longstockings? And while Carrie is technically perfect, she has the personality and depth of a Barbie doll. One of the best performances of the night, much to my chagrin, was Constantine singing a favorite of mine, "My Funny Valentine". Entertainment Weekly summed up my feelings perfectly, and helped me to finally realize who he reminded me of with his creepy, leering looks:

"I really hate to say it, but I thought Constantine gave one of the night's better efforts. Yeah, he took his wild mugging to shameless new lows, and his final note was shakier than Grandma's hands, but his light-jazz read on ''My Funny Valentine'' showed he not only has impeccable taste in songs, but he also truly understands the words coming out of his Smeagoly mouth."



Smeagol! Yes! Tell me you don't agree.

Go Hug Yourself: "We are just jealous. And fat. And ugly, poor, viciously destructive blobs who can only cope with the grim reality of our own lives by tearing down other people. We're not just Satan's minions; we eat his leg shavings, toasted and topped with fresh sweat-butter."

Nice one.

Hehe.

Does Paula like it 'straight up'?

Or on the rocks?

Idol watchers, I have a question for you: Am I the only one who thinks that Paula Abdul has been drunk off her ass in the past few shows? If she isn't, then she needs to be seriously medicated.

Then again, maybe that's the problem.

He should have asked for his dressing on the side.

Bockaa. :(

While not as newsworthy as Terry Schiavo's death or the imminent passing of the Pope, the death of Frank Perdue today derserves to be mentioned here, along with a thank you to the man who helped to make chickens funny. Thanks, Frank.
