I'm here once again to toot Christopher's horn; I love him unabashedly and want to adopt him.  Since that won't work  I can at least freak out over the stuff he does…and last night was no exception.  Which is not to say I didn't have a problem with his NYC Skyline dress…as brilliant as the concept was, and as…

I was also sitting on my couch saying. "Why did they have to make Elena so niiiiiiiiiice this time???   Now I'm going to whiiiiiiiiiinnnnne!"  Because I thought she'd be history until I saw Ven's silver/blue gunny sack made of aluminum fishing net he'd snagged off of a boat somewhere down near Fulton Fish Market.  My…

Oh my god, that was the WORST!!!!  I am way too big a baby to watch this show, I think.

I haven't  had time to read the 250+ posts and am watching it now on cbs.com (thanks to @avclub-ef062084a1c4a3584af1d4f8e514ea50:disqus !!) - but am wondering if anyone has commented on how WONDERFUL it is that the supremely nasty-ass Colton and his presumably gone appendix were not brought back???  What a shocker!! …

I am VERY psyched that Survivor is back on, somehow…as normally I don't go in for this type of show.  That said, I'm livid that my DVR didn't record it…who knew I needed to add the words "The Philippines" to its moniker??!!!!   Am now off to hunt it down somewhere - another thing I just don't do…grr!!!!  There's a…

Jeez, it never even occurred to me that the judges would not have known who the winners were prior to airing.  I mean…huh???  I'd even convinced myself that Nigel was (maybe un-)consciously telegraphing the results to us when he assured both Eliana and Chehon that they'd have great careers…but then he said the same…

I remember way back when, when William Safire pretty much stroked out over Alexander Haig's insistence on using "impact" as a verb…and look what happened.  I'll always agree with Safire, but there's no turning back now!

I actually prefer vanilla Oreos to the chocolate - but then again I remember as a kid preferring Hydrox to Oreo (when chocolate was all that was available).  I think Hydrox Cookies must be a Midwestern thing since I've never met anyone who's even heard of them (outside of my family and other folks from…

Our favorite Oreo thing was to stack 6 in front of each of us, somebody'd yell "GO!!" and we'd race to see who could cram all 6 down and then whistle 8 bars of "Yankee Doodle Dandy" without blowing chocolate crumbs all over the table. And then, of course, somebody'd pull out the Polaroid and the next contest was who…

It's the texture of circus peanuts that I've never been able to pin down.  It's not marshmallowy, certainly (and fortunately, since just the thought of a marshmallow makes me nauseous) but it's got an interesting sort of "give" to it when you bite down.  Sort of hard-sponge-y, I guess, and…the taste? Just like Revlon…
