Now we’re all going to want this in our contracts
Apparently when you switch networks and move from morning TV news to night, one of the perks is that your publicity photo gets doctored to make you look skinnier. Score! And we thought Katie jumped ship just for the money and prestige.
Wow, the mind just boggles. Instead of that contract provision asking for only green M&Ms in your hotel room when you’re on book tours, now we know to ask for a better chin, thicker hair, a perkier bustline, smaller hips. Or in the case of you guys, thicker wrists and good teeth.
Sweet! Calling my agent right now.

okay this has nothing to do with rb’s post. but not having my own blog (well actually i like to think that patrick and i share this one with robin). so okay, i’m sitting at the spa (when i say “ta, i’m off to the spa” i’m really off to the spa). so i’m hangin’ at the spa, just relaxing and my friend and i are solving the problems of the world (should laura have announced that she’s pregnant with her 6th child on air; who was out of line, angela’s mom or keith, the recovering alcoholic and non-recovering jerk; is vincent the weirdest, or what) and this very nice stranger interjects, “have you seen the tv show “24″. well no i reply, i’m not even sure that i get it–she instructs me to pick up some dvd’s of past episodes on my way home, so i do. DO NOT DO THIS–this show is the tv equivalent of crack cocaine. my family was forced to eat leftovers and threatened with bodily harm if the interrupted “one more time”. i was up until 1:30am last night and am planning on leaving work early to get a jump on tonight’s viewing marathon. i’m feeling very jumpy and have three seasons of catching up to do–how did i miss this–damn those wolves! i’m going to have to start taping “project runway”–which i missed last night– for a while until my life is back in equilibrium.

Technically, I have my own blog, but really, I prefer this one.
I just can’t look at the guy with the neck tattoos. Very disconcerting. At least on the Sci-fi channel, they make the aliens look appealing.
My life is caught up in Rockstar:Supernova. Monday there is a new webisode, tuesday - the performance show, Wednesday is the elimination. It’s just too much. Who’s going to win? Lucas or Toby?

Yeah, Patrick, what are those tattoos? (By the way, for those who have no clue what who or what we’re talking about, it’s Jeffrey from Project Runway). I keep trying to read them. Are they in Elvish?
And Annette, you are FORBIDDEN to talk to me about more shows to get hooked on. I actually have to write books, you know? I am officially looking away.

i meant jeffery not keith, ie the neck tattooed meany. i know this may seem odd but the neck tattoo isn’t all that bad–kinda naughty, i dunno, edgy-attractive, a little bit tribal. gee i quess there’s a side to me that even i am not fully aware of, add some puka beads and flip flops and watch out!

THE ALIEN HAS A NAME?
I just call him - M’Gleeka D’BnaiKa
