Alas I missed Mr. Personality because I was busy watching Dallas pull off an amazing win against the Spurs.

Arrrrggggghhhh.

I fell asleep with three minutes remaining. The OM didn't have the heart to wake me, and I had to beg him for the info this morning.

I saw maybe the last couple minutes and a few minutes here or there. I was busy watching Martha throw copper pots at people.

While you were watching her on t.v., she showed up at the outdoor bar I was patronizing. She looked decidedly unfashionable. Jean jacket with a teal sweater tied around her thick neck (don't get me started on sweaters tied around the neck -- everyone who does this looks 100% stupid, like they don't know what a sweater is for or they're trying too hard) and too much makeup. She's huge with broad shoulders. She looks like a man, baby. I can understand why people may be scared of her.

Moved? I've never left. My neighborhood is just too wealthy (and that's old money, missy) to let in the likes of you.

I saw someone wearing a white shirt with a red sweater tied around her neck. She was speaking at something. And as I watched her speak, I thought to myself, why in the hell are you wearing a red sweater tied around your neck? Get a friggen shawl if you are cold. Or wear the sweater. It isn't a scarf for god's sake.

Learn how to accessorize you know?

I was not sure what I thought of the movie. I was talking on the phone during some of it, and working during the rest of it. (My Mom called upset because her TV blocked out during AI and she missed the last 5 minutes and she HAD TO KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON. MY mom could post on this board and fit in very well I think.)

But over all, it was ok. Made me chuckle a few times. I am not really sure how I was supposed to feel about her after it. I didn't see her as that bad a person, but she certainly was shown to suffer from a lack of ethics and self control. Of course, I have never thought of her as that bad a person. I figured anyone who would risk a fortune over a couple, what thousand/hundred grand, has to have some real control problems.

But I also found it impressive how much she managed to do for herself, assuming the movie is factually correct. The time line was a bit confusing, it jumped around a bit, there were flashbacks and then it would move forward and then more flashbacks. And since I was only half paying attention, and they never told you what year it was, I had a little trouble figuring out when things were supposed to have happened. I was trying to remember for example how famous I recalled her being when she got the KMart deal. Cause I thought she was already pretty well known by that time, but the suggestion was not so much.

I guess I found it a little confusing in terms of how they structured it. Maybe I should have paid more attention. Or maybe it was just poorly written. I don't know.

I can only assume that Bilmore will be hosting a huge Buffy finale party this evening.

In the kayak.

My dad sent me a long email about his kayak adventures yesterday. It was disturbing because Bilmore kept popping into my mind when I read it.

On other sort of FB topics that my dad brought up - Ground Force did a relative's garden and my relative was excited to meet Charlie (the chick who goes braless). Apparently she is quite a sex symbol in Britain. I have to ask why - are there so few attractive people in England that she is a sex symbol? She seems like she has a good sense of humor, and isn't butt ugly, but apart from the fact that she doesn't wear a bra, she's not really sexy - or maybe I am missing something.

I had almost abandoned hope. All here: chimichangas, chili rellanos, pupusas, fish taco's, and good too.

My general rule of thumb is to avoid looking for Mexican food north of the Mason-Dixon and east of the Mississippi. Saves me from a lot of heart ache. And heartburn.

In the name of amusing you all with my own humble Bachelorette show, thought I'd tell you about the date I went on last night.

The guy presented himself as a very successful, brilliant entrepreneur, picked a wonderful, romantic restaurant, and expressed a love of the little black dress look. So I went with it and showed up wearing one that displayed the robustness of my puppies (with apologies to RP).

The fact that he was shorter and heavier than he'd led me to believe was disappointing but not a deal breaker. The fact that he knew about the Rule Against Perpetuities but almost nothing about wine did not exactly turn me on, but it was okay. No, dear FBers, it was when he shoveled his food (corn) with his fingers and grabbed the little potato chip garnishes off my plate that I'd had it. And I should have known that if I'd recoiled from his table manners that I'd also recoil from his attempts to kiss me.

Fortunately, I had dinner with someone on Friday night whom I really liked and will definitely see again.

Its amazing. You should throw something in your ad about the improtance of proper table manners and honesty. Perhaps cite this guy as an example? GLad its gong well. Keep the stories coming- at least I know they aint scripted and you arent fame whoring.

I think everyone will agree that no apology is necessary.

I am now wondering why Ruben would be favored to win given that Clay is "teenybopper" favorite and Ruben is "judge "favorite? This is a populartiy contest not a talent contest and the teenyboppers have more dialing power than judges.

What is it with people and their table manners? My theory is that when the hippies grew up, they refused to teach their children table manners. But my husband's mother failed to teach him certain "rules" that it has become my duty to teach him. He's a chronic double-dipper (don't get me started). I have to watch him like a hawk.
Suffice it to say that you made the right decision to avoid this guy - if his table manners are ghastly, no telling what he's like in the sack. :drool:

Unrelated question - why do Clay's feet look so incredibly large? Is it the shoes?
