mowing your lawn in a notre dame sweatshirt doesn't make you catholic

I confess to being surprised in a way, but also not at the same time. Basically I think he did the same exact thing he did last season, which was pick the "good" girl instead of picking the girl he actually wanted. You like them with big fake tits and no brains, Bret. Just admit it. Embrace it! It's not like you have any dignity left to lose. Anyway, I'm happy for Ambre because I liked her best so at least she'll get the prize money or whatever. Also, greatest line ever: "OK, Daisy's hot. But surgery can make me hotter. Surgery's not going to make her smarter." Ha ha ha. Also, every time Bret goes on about how hot Daisy is, I'm like, really? This is why I am me and not Bret Michaels. Of course, I also felt like every time Bret said Ambre was hot, it sounded like he was trying to convince himself of it. I'm still just kind of amazed he picked someone so close to his own age. (And Daisy, going on and on about how ancient Ambre is at 37, when you're 25? Oh, just wait, sweetie. 37 will arrive before you KNOW IT.)

Anyway, great season, CANNOT WAIT for the reunion, and then I will be very sad it's over. And Celebra Dabra or whatever the heck it's called doesn't look like it's going to grab me.

Desperate Housewives was funny tonight, and spawned my subject line. Glad that show is back. And I think Gossip Girl comes back this week too, doesn't it? Yay!

Anyone watching Celebrity Fit Club? I am so not surprised that Dustin Diamond continues to be a big douche.

Last night divanoir and I went to see Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day, mainly because there's nothing else out and I knew people on my f-list had recommended it. It was indeed delightful, and I pass on the recommendation as well. Just a fun, enjoyable film. eloiseinparis had remarked that she never found Lee Pace hot on Pushing Daisies, but did in this movie, and I was skeptical, until Lee Pace had been on screen for approximately five seconds and OMG. Like watching a different person, I swear. He needs to be scruffy at all times, and preferably with a working-class British accent. Rowr.

My mom sent me the creepiest website today: FelonSpy. You type your address into the box and it shows you a map of all the convicted criminals who live near you. =:-0 The ACLUer in me has serious privacy issues with this, while the other part of me is just freaking out that I live a block away from someone who's been convicted of burglary. I felt a little better when I did my parents' address, who live in what they think is suburban paradise, and they're a couple blocks away from someone convicted of attempted murder. Ha ha ha. And then I thought about it a little more and I didn't feel so great about that. Eeeeep.

Probably everyone on my f-list who'd be interested in this has seen it already, but just in case: Catherine Tate is as much of a Sorkin fan as David Tennant. Click on "The Big Questions 2" to hear Tennant accuse Tate of wanting to be Bradley Whitford's girlfriend. Join the club, chica.

Chris Matthews thinks Obama is weird for wanting orange juice instead of coffee. I think Chris Matthews is weird because he's an asshat.

There's apparently an epidemic of straight women having crushes on Jackie Warner from Work Out. Silly straight women, don't you know your crush is supposed to be on Gillian Anderson? HELLO.

Speaking of Gillian, Fox is releasing a special set of XF DVDs with episodes that supposedly specifically relate to the upcoming movie. My fellow Philes need to go look at those links and tell me what the heck the theme is, there, besides shippiness. Thanks to proggrrl for the heads-up.

So apparently a family in Massachusetts is trying to exonerate one of their ancestors of being hanged for witchcraft in the 17th century....and they're getting shit for it. WTF? I hate people so much, you guys. Sigh.

I thought nine year olds getting highlights was bad -- how about eight year olds getting bikini waxes? I'm going to go kill myself now.

Two BSG links from around the f-list:

alissabobissa writes a cute Billy&Kara ficlet.

dionusia is hilarious again with her Secret Cylon Meeting Minutes. (Spoilers through the last ep.)

I've seen some nice icons too and am very nervous about my own. Maybe I'll just make a few funny ones and call it a day, I dunno.

And corellianjedi has now joined girlunravelled as having mainlined the series over the past couple weeks and now being caught up for this Friday. I'm so excited and proud! Yay. I spent way too much time this weekend reading everybody's commentary. I need to take a step back.

How is it Monday already? It's a short week in a way since NY Comic Con starts Friday...but then I'll be working all weekend without pay, so, not so much. Oh well, at least there will be shopping. And Tahmoh. And chanel19 visiting. Must focus on the positive. Whimper.

WTF is wrong with these mothers? First was the mani/pedi parties, then the highlights. Now this? Seriously, I fear for the future. I also fear what will be next.

And I agree with you. Lee Pace should do the British accent more often. So. very. hot.

[soaked-in-stars.livejournal.com]

Sooo happy about Ambre. Daisy is so freakish that I just can't handle it. Take the money and run, girl.

Those new Gillian pics are incredibly hot. Sigh.

And thanks for the link for FelonSpy, which is both fascinating and so incredibly creepy.

[dianora2.livejournal.com]

Have you seen Ambre's MySpace page? There are some scary pics there.

It's so funny that these girls all wind up as spokesmodels for two-bit clothing lines.

Daisy's page is pretty hilarious:

Eight year olds shouldn't even have pubic hair. How can they be getting a bikini wax? O.O THAT IS MADE OF FAIL!

I must admit that I'm getting more and more curious about BSG. I tried getting into it once, but I don't feel opposed to giving it a second try. Between you and skywaterblue, man, I dunno.

Gillian has been my girlcrush for YEARS, man. Years.

[dianora2.livejournal.com]

The bikini wax thing seriously makes my head hurt. I don't even get it.

You should give BSG a second try! Marathon some first season eps one day and see how it goes.

And Gillian is worthy of the many girlcrushes she inspires.

(Yes, I'm behind on commenting as usual, sigh.)

I thought nine year olds getting highlights was bad -- how about eight year olds getting bikini waxes? I'm going to go kill myself now.

To which my first question is -- what the heck are they waxing?????

[dianora2.livejournal.com]

I seriously can't even think about it. It makes NO SENSE.

[ozzyols.livejournal.com]

WTF! I had to go read that one.

I'm sorry, but where is the sense of responsibility that the waxer has! If that was my salon or even if I just worked there... I would be, get the F out of here! I wouldn't care if it meant my job!

Jeez Louise! That's sick!

Besides anything else... hair down there is there for a reason! I serves a biological purpose... it helps prevent all sorts of nasties get to the very sensitive skin around that area!

[dianora2.livejournal.com]

Yeah, teaching your nine year old that pubic hair is dirty? Way to go, moms.

[ozzyols.livejournal.com]

Seriously, childrens services needs to start looking into cases like this...

You can not say it's in the child's best interests to have things like that happen to them. It's painful enough for an adult - god know how many young girls will be traumatised by having it done... how do you explain to a 9 year old that sort of pain... rip of a strip of their skin before hand with a sand blaster?

okay... Dying hair... setting aside any issues with what the chemicals in the colour may do, that's NOT such a big deal... hair does usually grow back.

But when children are subjected to plastic surgery to get that perky little nose, or lipo for those perfect thighs... both the parents and the doctors should be being charged with child abuse... a) you can not tell me a 6 year old fully understands what is going on... b) a childs body doesn't stop growing until their late teens early 20's. in the case of lipo, you are removing valuable fat stores that the childs own body will consume as part of growing up.

Charge the callous, self centred parents, and the greedy Dr's NOW!

(Sorry... rant over.... that just pisses me off!)

My mom sent me the creepiest website today: FelonSpy.

I should NEVER have looked at this. *g*

[phdelicious.livejournal.com]

I know. I looked and there's a decent collection of rapists and child molesters around me and my parents. NOT HAPPY!

[adventurepants.livejournal.com]

"JUST BECAUSE AMBRE'S LIKE 80 YEARS OLD OR WHATEVER." :) Cracked me up every time.

[dianora2.livejournal.com]

So. Funny. Daisy, what do you think your face and boobs are going to look like 12 years from now, hmmm?

[emnigmatic.livejournal.com]

Unless the movie is about a creepy disfigured sewer-dwelling vampire author who can predict how people are going to die, I'm thinking you hit the nail on the head.

[ex-dashenka.livejournal.com]

Jackie?!?! Bitches, please. If you're going to have a straight girl crush, spend it on someone worth your while, like GA.

[ratmmjess.livejournal.com]

I like Miss Pettigrew a lot, too, but my crush was--remains--Ciaran Hinds. You and Alicia can have Lee Pace.

I stopped watching Rock of Love weeks ago, but caught most of last night. I was happy Ambre won - she seemed to be relatively normal, and probably the most attractive of the girls there.

This is going to be really mean, but it has to be said: where did they FIND some of these women? I'd say the vast majority of those girls had some serious fug going on. Including Daisy, who also had one of the most annoying voices ever.

[dianora2.livejournal.com]

where did they FIND some of these women?

Bars and strip clubs? I know, it's horrifying. Oscar de la Hoya must be so proud of his niece or cousin or whatever she is.

[alikander.livejournal.com]

Except that the witch ancestor and her descendants are in Connecticut. Mass. has already exonerated some (all?) of their witches.

[alikander.livejournal.com]

And, since I'm being a stinker and harshing your links (which are usually fab), FelonSpy is a joke (http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/hoaxes/felonspy.asp). (I was suspicious when it showed a felon living in my mother's house!)

[kopernik.livejournal.com]

OH, THANK YOU.

Man, did that freak me out. I never thought to check snopes. When will I ever learn?

[dianora2.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank god! Thing is, in my neighborhood, it all seemed very reasonable. *g*

[hhw]

your mother's secret life revealed!

[timesink.livejournal.com]

FelonSpy is a joke.

Ah, that makes sense. I got suspicious when I mistakenly refreshed it -- and got a whole new set of felons. Plus, I know who lives in a couple of the houses marked, and the demographic didn't match.

[chanel19.livejournal.com]

Happy news: most of the felons in my neighborhood are really old.

[kopernik.livejournal.com]

After seeing just the preview for Miss Pettigrew, I ran right out and got the book. It's supposed to be a Mother's Day gift for my mother, but I'm...weakening. She never likes the books I give or recommend to her, anyway! Eeep, I don't think I'm going to make it.

[dianora2.livejournal.com]

If you read the book I'd be curious to know how it is. Not my usual type of reading material, so don't know that it would be for me, but... :)

[kopernik.livejournal.com]

Will do!

(Even though everyone has hated the latest book I pimped out. EVERYONE.)

[eloiseinparis.livejournal.com]

Lee Pace had been on screen for approximately five seconds and OMG. Like watching a different person, I swear. He needs to be scruffy at all times, and preferably with a working-class British accent.

Meant to respond to this yesterday: I am so glad you have seen the light! I swear, I will end up buying this DVD just so that I can have his scenes accessible at all times. *g*

[dailycontempt.livejournal.com]

I like what they say on felonspy.com: "If you can stomach the gun adverts and an aggressive vigilante attitude this is one way to decide you want bars on your windows."
