a few things...


While I'm thinking about them.



1. I wish long-time followers of mine on Twitter (and we're talking long-time - at least 3-4 years) would drop me a DM or a tweet telling me that they're unfollowing me.. Seriously.  Like this is the fifth freaking time this has happened, and I get it. I truly do. I get that I tweet too much. That I am annoying. I GET IT. I don't blame anyone for wanting to unfollow me.

But for heavens sakes, could you TELL me that you have unfollowed me so that I don't waste months of my time following your ass??? Specifically this relates to people who's tweets I don't even enjoy, but I don't want to hurt their feelings by unfollowing. I mean that's what the "Mute" button is for right?

A friend and I were talking about this last week, and we both eventually agreed that it's the followers we lose who we thought we "were cool with" that niggle at you. Random people who never tweet at me, whatever, I get it, but, if we're somewhat friendly on Twitter? The least you could do is send me a note telling me what I've done to cause you to unfollow me. I even sent a tweet to one dude saying, "Dude. Really?" Of course, never got a reply. It's not that my feelings are hurt all that much. It's more the confounding nature of you excluding me without telling me why. It's like junior high!

 GAH.

2. Watching four episodes of "Gossip Girl" with an irritating amount of ad breaks on Hulu and losing your network connection every fucking 30 minutes (felt like) while you're desperately trying to finish these  last four episodes of  the "Gossip Girl" season can make a woman...

PERFUCKSNICKTY.

3.  I blame you Serena van der Woodsen or however you spell it. I'm not looking it up. I am "Gossip Girl" exhausted. Also this Blair and Dan thing was just a huge mistake.

4.  I am useless at maintaining more than one account at any given website and today has proved that.

5. I will persevere, but I have no clue how y'all with your multiple Tumblrs and Twitter accounts do it.

6.  Since I'm on a roll here with things that annoy the crap outta me. Let's talk about laundry. If you do your laundry. REMOVE THE LAUNDRY FROM THE WASHER AND DRYER IN A TIMELY MANNER.

Seriously. Is this too hard for people to get? And why do I always end up living with the 50%  population who have no laundry manners.

7. You can glean a few things from this list or a lot of things that pissed me off today, huh? Whatever. I've got 50 minutes before "Hell's Kitchen", and the blog needed updating.

8.  One quick plug for what I think is the funniest, sweetest, and best written comedy in a long time. It's so good that I've watched it like 10 times in the last two weeks. I will never get tired of it. It's called "Goon" and it's available on Amazon Prime and Netflix. It's so worth your time and effort. Sean William Scott gives this really understated (if that's possible when you play a hockey assassin) and lovely performance. Totally seek it out.  I hesitate to say it's better than "Slap Shot" because, you know... "Slap Shot".... but it's a little, teeny bit, better than "Slap Shot" if only because of the characterization of Doug Glatt. 

9.  *Breathing Out*  I may be coming off my ire throne now.  I even had to put a musical on to calm my ragged, angry soul.

10.   There's a ton of TV stuff I could talk about, but I'm not really in the mood. Suffice to say... "Damages" is back for its Fifth and Final Season and TALK ABOUT A SEASON PREMIERE. I spent the entire hour with my mouth hanging open in shock.

WATCH IT.  If you can, I mean, since it's only on DirecTV. Not that I let that stop me.

Things I Would Do To A 500 lb. Cheesecake

Tomorrow night at the White House Staff Inaugural Ball lucky attendees get to eat a 500 lb. cheesecake. Here are details. 500 lb Cheesecake from Eli's I am consumed with just the thought of 500 lbs of creaminess. These are the things I would do to that wheel of sugar and eggs and cream cheese if I were left alone in the White House, or any house really, with it. 1.)  Stick my face directly into the middle of it and start eating my way to the edge. 2.)  Eat it spoonful by spoonful even if it takes me all year. 3.)  Pour heated hot fudge sauce all over it then begin licking. 4.)  Rub at least 5 lbs of the cheesecake all over my body and writhe in happiness. 5.)  Smoosh a 25 lbs of it on white canvas, matte and frame it, hang it on my wall, and write sonnets to it for the rest of my life. 6.)  Buy a California King sized bed so I could sleep with my arms wrapped around it every night. 7.)  And then eat a little for breakfast every mor...

and once again...

It's been awhile so I have more TV thoughts to expound upon because as well know...TV is what I do best. In no particular order: 1. Dear 30 Rock...I know it's fun to mock Liz Lemon but this season it's getting out of hand. I am, possibly, internalizing it too much, but when loyal, lovable Floyd calls Liz Lemon a badger I think you've gone too far. 2. Additionally 30 Rock, I'm not laughing as much as I used to. Don't get me wrong. I still laugh-specifically last week when you made the pranksters get naked and they were all screaming like girls, but I'm not rolling around in hysterics over every single of minute like I used to. That makes me sad. I depended on 30 Rock for the absurdist, surreal and just flat out manic laughs that it delivered Seasons 1 through 3. 3. I know some BSG fans don't like Caprica. I am not one of them. I have watched each episode of Caprica at least 3 times. It may be Eric Stoltz & Esai Morales & Sasha Roiz & that ...

You know you're alone on a Sunday afternoon... (randomish again)

... when you realize just how loudly you're singing along to a Bob Dylan song.  Essentially it's when your voice is reverberating off the ceiling in the dining room and because you're so freaking tone deaf it hurts your own ears. ...when you make strawberry-basil ice cubes to for a strawberry-basil cocktail that was in Saturday's Wall Street Journal.  I mean, I even made simple syrup.  Yikes. ...when you spend about two hours searching bread pudding recipes, you make the bread pudding, and then proceed to eat half of the pan before you realize just how many eggs and how much cream you put in this goddamn bread pudding.  So worth it though.  Did I mention I took photos too? I did.  Further, I reviewed and rated the recipe (seriously, it's a damn good recipe - here's a link Bread Pudding II (also known as the one recipe that didn't require 'hot milk') Prep!
