Fresh, Hot Wastes of Time

The truth is that when Zora started saying nice things to Evan there in the ballroom and his whole face lit up like a lamp, well, I got a little teary eyed.

I hate that I just said that.

After Hub and I went to see Jewel at the rodeo, we stayed in San Antonio for a couple of nights. On our way out of town, we were driving to the highway and happened to pass the Alamo. I glanced over to admire the cradle of Texas freedom and saw… THE ENTIRE UNION ARMY MILLING AROUND OUR PRECIOUS ALAMO! AAAH! AAAAHHH!

Those of you from Yankeeland may not realize the impact that the sight of a buncha Yankees lollygagging around one of the South’s precious landmarks will have. I could make analogies, but they’d make someone mad. (Like what if you lived in South Dakota and looked out the window and saw a huge bunch of Native Americans on horses riding around your town square?) Just know that it was surreal and frightening. We rolled down our car windows and hub started yelling about Yankees while I whistled “Dixie” really loud.

Turns out they were having some sort of Civil War re-enactment that day. Twouldn’t have been so bad if I’d seen some of our Boys in Grey so I could give ’em a nice Rebel Yell, instead of having to see all those damnyankees.

Did you know that the statue on top of the Texas Capitol, as well as all the main entrances on the University of Texas buildings face south? The builders and the legislators literally wanted to turn their backs on the North.

South’s gonna rise again, y’all. And we’re gonna laugh and laugh at all y’all Yankees who are snowed under.

Remind me why I watched that stupid-ass show again?

I just spent the last few hours reading email from 7 years ago. It’s amazing how it brought back the anger and frustration that I experienced at the time.

I used to work for a company and they really dicked me around. The boss was a pothead, and he kept bringing in his pothead family members to help “run” things, and all the employees got badly treated. The only people (in retrospect) who were worth a shit were suddenly and quite unexpectedly fired for various reasons. They told me that I was going to be manager of the new office, then backed out on that. Then they told me I’d be one of the top tier when they incorporated, then backed out on that. The boss used to give me shit about my background and upbringing (when in fact I’m quite sure he was just really really jealous of me) and make me feel like an ass. Scuse me? I can’t help where I came from. But I can help where I’m going, and I thank my lucky stars that I went far, far away from that bunch of losers.

I hate the fact that I’m slobbering to know what the twist is. There’s just so much that doesn’t add up:

Sarah said in an interview that she tried to help Evan out when he’d slip up about not being a millionaire by kicking him under the table. How did she know? And why was she helping him out?

Zora supposedly went to stay with her parents while the show was being aired because she didn’t like how she was portrayed. Yet she’s edited to smell like a rose.

Evan says something like “There’s something going on that somebody’s not telling me” in the latest preview, while the butler smirks. Then a woman’s voice says “Oh my God”.

Alex McCloud is the “host” of the show, yet she has about 10 seconds of face time per show and all her lines are dubbed. WTF?

There’s a rumor that all the women were actresses and recruited for the show via their agents.

What’s it all mean? Is it all a sham and Evan’s the one being duped? That would definitely qualify as a big twist since all the men in America, upon seing the previews for the show before it began, were rubbing their hands in glee because they wanted to see those gold digger bitches slobber all over a guy. What if the girls were in on a secret, like at the end they’re going to make Evan choose between the girl or some money?

Stupid show. Eating IQ points.

I’m primarily distressed at the fact that I can’t seem to get the subject of Earl Grey tea out of my head; the smell, the flavor, the warm way it winds down to my stomach. Once I think of it I must have some. If I smell it, all is lost. Just 2 weeks ago I was a hard-core coffee drinker. I don’t understand what’s happening to me.

Google purchases Blogger. Woah. That’s insane!

Yeah so now they knock on our door again with a duplicate breakfast, like the 9:00 service was imaginary.
