My dad says the water polo team have the best bodies for male athletes at the Olympics. My mom thinks they look swollen. I don't know, my TV doesn't work. Thoughts?

Two of my favorite things on this planet
When I was a kid, I loved Ben Vereen. And it wasn't because of Zoobalee-Zoo or whatever the hell that show was called. I hated that show. It was because I was Levar's bitch and I loved whatever he put in front of my face. And also because of All That Jazz, which for some reason my parents let me watch when I was a wee one (and now I wonder what exactly went through Roy Schieder's head as he passed on - Bye, bye life, I think I'm gonna die...).
Anyway, like I was sayin'...
Speaking of All That Jazz, here's a clip from when Bob Fosse guest choreographed on Reading Rainbow (that's him at the end):
I tried to convince my boss to show this during our bi-annual Office of the Vice President for Development meeting, but we didn't have time to fit it in.
sonographic!
tomorrow I will have an ultrasound. a few weeks ago I was seduced by an alien...this is kinda what happened:
except I wasn't wearing eyeliner.
If that scared you too much, watch this:

Dearest Brandon,

Where the fuck are you? You were supposed to be here yesterday ... Oh, well. I guess I can forgive you once you get here. I'm sorry for being upset, it's just we have so little time left. I'm graduating college (again), you're still in junior year at West Beverly - seriously, we live in two different worlds. These last few days we have are precious. Like your face.
Here are some tips for the future: Kelly will break your heart. So will Emily and Susan - pretty much every woman you will ever meet in L.A. Steve is a loser, he'll get you into trouble again and again. You should follow your sister to Europe, because other than Donna getting a stalker, life in Beverly Hills will continue to get lamer and lamer with each passing season. Stay away from racing cars. Don't grow a beard, facial hair makes you look like a pussy. Speaking of, Dylan will return to claim everything you've worked for.
But before all that, we have a few days left.
Ciao,
Miss L

Disappointing TV

A-hole* and I finished watching the Arrested Development dvds last night. So sad. What a great show! The cast was talented, the writing was great - irreverant, political, and at times very subtle - it was so much fun to watch. Seriously, I pretty much now detest the 30 minute sitcom. Have for a while. Someone - anyone - list one good one that is on right now.
That's what I thought.
A few posts ago, I wrote about how excited I was for the new Grey's Anatomy. Blech. It turned out to be pretty lame, of course, and simply rehashed everything we already new from the first two seasons. Characters with baggage, Meredith's in a love triangle and gots to decide. There had better be some fun stuff or I'm gonna stop watching the show! Why create melodrama with someone dying every single episode? I know they're in a hospital, I know that kinda stuff happens, but I wanna see the characters do things that make them seem real, the everyday stuff. Cleaning house, buying a car, making jokes with each other. Not every moment of the show has to include one of the characters experiencing a huge crisis or epiphany. Please, don't go there! I like George and Izzie and Christina and Miranda and Preston and Addison and even Alex - I like them so much more than Meredith and McDreamy right now. Those two are just Obnoxious.
That's all on the TV front for now. Tootaloo.
*A-hole when I'm not so pleased, Pandy Bear when I am.

Funny conversation with Dad
I called Dad just to chat the other night and told him I was watching the Project Runway marathon. He really likes that show. He told me all about how Allison (sp?) was 25 and designed and made her clothes, and we both agreed Jeffrey is a total jerk. I told him that earlier that day, Jr and I watched Xanadu. I loved ONJ's dresses, but especially her black/gold pantaloon/argyle-legging number at the end. He kinda moaned about the movie, like it brought back terrible memories.
Dad: Huh. There's a show you should try watching, it's kinda funny. It's on WE...
Me: WE? The Women's Entertainment channel?
Dad: Yeah. It's called Breaking Up With Shannen Doherty.
He is serious, people! My dad is turning into the old man who likes to watch women's television. He already listens to Annie Lennox (who is amazing, btw - I called her The Red-Haired Lady when I was a mere child rockin' out to Eurythmics videos on MTV). He's turning into a softy! My grandpa has Fox News on all the time (used to be CNN) if there's no game. My children will talk about how their grandpa watches Lifetime and made-for-TV movies starring Melissa Gilbert and Dana Delaney.
