I just saw a "Passions" commercial that said MURDER and showed Gwen pushing Theresa through a window. Oh if only, if only.
Andy "this is Andy Paige for Cents of Style" Paige is back on "Starting Over" today and I'm so so happy. She's like the best ever. She is wearing a ludicrous zebra-striped coat and yet she still looks adorable. Oh! Did you know she even has a Web site. Oh man, she just said "Super, I love that," which was what I was about to say. Genius. Jane and I should get her to be on our fabulous TV show about gossip and sparkles and dancing. You know, the show we have created in our minds.
I did a work day yesterday, I'm doing a work day today and I'm working the rest of the week. Money is super, I love that. It's been really slow. Yesterday I stayed up all night before working (I have to start at 6 a.m.) and after I signed off I completely conked out. The weather, it was going crazy. Like the cable provider broke into "Passions" (which I still hate right now) with one of their crazy Emergency Broadcast System EEEEEH EEEEEH EEEEEH alerts for a Severe Thunderstorm Warning. I thought they usually saved those for Amber Alerts at 3 a.m. in order to scare the crap out of me.
Oh my God. They just showed the "surprise leaks and odor" commercial for the product that offers "confident stand-up protection." What. If the FCC wants to do something about decency on TV, start with the disgusting feminine protection and perverted diaper ads already. I can't stand it. And then the one we kept seeing during The Perfect Husband with the graphic depiction of a kid wetting his bed and it's supposed to be CUTE. Sick sick sick sick.
Anyway! Right before I went to sleep, there was a local news special report where the weather guy started freaking out about "significant weather!!!" and then he just cut off and there was dead air and I found it hilarious. There was some wind and some rain and the skies were overcast, what? That is one thing I can't get used to, is how out here rain is like a crazy foreign concept and if it sprinkles a little bit people start like driving off the road if they've even left the house at all in the first place. Well I'm exaggerating. A little. But it is very surprising. This is the first time in my life I've lived without X-treme weather. Am I getting offtrack again? Yes.
So anyway, I totally pass out and get woken up by Christopher coming home, informing me that the power is out. Not just out but OUT, like gone. Like our entire complex is pitch black and interestingly enough, it's the only one in the neighborhood that's out. So maybe it was the storm? Maybe it wasn't? I have no idea. But luckily Christopher had some kind of psychic power because he brought home a pizza (our stove is electric) and also a gigantic family-size vat of Beefeater gin. So it wasn't so bad. Except the power never came back on until Conan started, so we missed both "American Idol" and "24," which is an unfair tragedy of epic proportions. But I'm trying my best to live through the pain, I am.

Posted by: jane at February 18, 2004 06:30 PMOh! Yes I knew! Isn't that horrible. And you know it ended up on the lineup today. But then it disappeared. Also, guess who ended up doing Urban Outfitters? Me? Yes? Hahahahaha. Cough. And I missed "American Idol" today too. I guess it's not my week.
Posted by: Kim at February 19, 2004 12:59 AM"American Idol" was painful, both days even. Also that I thought you weren't watching it this time. Anyway, everyone sucked hard, most of all the Bronx brothers. So the Hawaiian girl with the wristband, the one they called the new Lauryn Hill (Oh my God, if someone called me that I would cry forever) won and so did that football guy who says he's 25, but he is clearly in his late 40s. He sounded way better on the "Yay! I won" performance than he had the night before. Hawaiian Hill was OK both times.
Posted by: jane at February 19, 2004 06:00 AMOh Lord the old man and the football. I hope he was comparing everything to the time he was in the Rose Bowl. I am watching this season, I'm just trying to not get emotionally involved or pick up the phone or get upset over people getting cut or anything. It is a test of strength, a test of sanity.
