I wish he would hide in my hedgerow.

better late than never

I tried. Seriously kids, I tried.  I dutifully stopped by the gym (thanks Dutchess for the motivation), sweated out my leftover tan from this weekend (ya'll I looked GOOD) and rushed home to watch some tv.  Ok...I may have stopped by Chipotle for a delicious treat that completely negated my workout, but whatever.  Honey badger don't care.  I jumped on the couch, reached for the remote and pulled up the first show in the que....The Killing, ready for the redeeming episode that people have been whispering about in my ear all day.  And I have to say, not bad AMC.  I kind of see it now.  I see where this road is headed though I'm not quite sure where the hell you took us for the last 5 episodes...teachers, and terrorists, and beatings oh my! Let's pound out some bullets here:
*When Stan walked in the house with those bloody hands, he knew what he had done was wrong.  The moment got to him. For days people had been around him, egging him on with questions on why the possible killer was still teaching. But I thought it was kind that he called 911 (ok...it would have been kinder if you hadn't bashed his head into a rock).
*Belko. Oh Belko.  That scene broke my heart. Born to a woman obviously a lot later in life as she said she thought she was ending menopause when out he came.  Her special boy (yuck). Stan probably saw this kid and took him under his wing.  I get his affection for the family and for the home - neither of which he really had...especially when mom was shacking with every man in Seattle.
*Boy cop was sure of himself this episode.  He knew what he was looking for and was making nice with girl cop, who still doesn't have her miserable life together. And on that subject,
*Your friend, Boat Lady (Reg I think?), tells you that your son is acting out.  He did A, B, and C.  He is screaming for help.  Girl cop doesn't punish the kid.  Nope, she wakes him up and takes him to a classless joint on the side of the road.  Good parenting.  Oh...and then to come home and find your ex-but-not-really-your-ex boyfriend sitting outside your door, begging you to come back despite your many issues, you can't.  You have to follow this case thru.  I did find it interesting that he said something about sitting in front of white walls every day.  Has she been in a psych ward?
*After 10 days they finally figure out where Rosie went.  Atlantic City.  Well, ok...not really...but close.  Some off shore Indian gambling casino. Random. 
*After 10 days they find a picture of Rosie with the Mayoral candidate with the mostest - Skeezeball Richmond. Just like Bill and Monica sans the beret.
*Did anyone think it was weird that girl cop went to Richmond's house?  She could have called.  I don't know...maybe she felt it needed a face to face.  But her and that scotch...reminded me of my friend Ballou and his McCallans...one sip and its gone.


I'm interested to see where this is headed for the first time in awhile. I have the sister in my head as the killer. There is just something off with her. And if they don't give me more on the situation with her and Jasper's dad, I'm going to be angry.  There has to be something there.

Game of Thrones
This too, was a good episode.  I've said it before and I'll say it again....I hate Mayor Carcetti or whatever his name is on this show.  I think he only knows how to play backstabbing boy bitches. I'm not quite sure I was fully awake for the whole episode - so let me know if I missed something I need to know:
*Ned finally figured out that the eyeliner boy, Prince Joffery, is a product of incest and not King Robert's true heir.
*A pig killed the king.  However, the king's hand is a Lanister?  I missed that.  And do they think he is the one who set the king up to die?
*I didn't really understand the Jamie/father talk.  Dad seems to want Tyrion back, but I didn't understand what he was saying to Jamie.  I was too distracted with him carving up the cow/horse/sheep/whatever it was.
*I also didn't follow anything that happened at the wall.  A horse came back belonging to John Snow's uncle?

After watching Jersey Housewives, I decided that I would not spend the time talking about it.  I just can't bring myself to do it.  Even when T says things like "comein" for cumin, or "ingredientsts" or "fabulicious". T made a ridiculous amount of money this year, so I guess she can pronounce it however she likes. Nothing really happened this episode.  The battle continues to rage on between the siblings...though I'm surprised that gorgonzola joe (as he will further be known because he is cheesy and moldy) can think of anything else other than sex. Ya'll its been 4 whole days since he banged it out.  FOUR WHOLE DAYS.  The horror!  As his children pimento, ravioli and linguine almost drown in the bathtub because he wants his wife to pay attention to him! Joe need sex.  Give me it now.  He's like a gelled up caveman.  Ugh.  Makes me want to take a bath in purell.

I need to go get the thought of gorgonzola joe out of my head...

XOXO,
It's your girl B

deep breaths...

Welcome back kiddies! I hope you all had a wonderful and relaxing three day weekend.  Even though baby sister, Stinkerbelle, hijacked the weekend, it was still pretty nice.  It would have been nicer laying on a beach somewhere...somewhere tropical...somewhere where they don't speak english... somewhere where no one knows your name and the drinks are cold...but I digress.  I came back to work from my four-day-weekend-high to find...well...work.  Not only is the high now gone, but the loathing and panic attacks have set in and I've come to the realization that I need out. O-U-T.  Out of my life. Out of my comfort zone.  Out of DC.  Out of the country. I feel a year in Paris or London would do me a world of good. So let's start working on that immediately...

I have something hard to tell you, but I let you down this weekend.  I plum out missed the Killing (it never even crossed my mind), missed Game of Thrones (even though its on my iphone) and only watched about 20 minutes of Jersey Shore: The Geriatric Edition  Real Housewives.  The reason for only 20 minutes was due to Teresa's squat, tanned, gerbil of a brother and his sex drive.  I just couldn't take anymore.  But I'll make the commitment and suffer thru it tonight on the DVR.

Please tell me some of the fun things you did this weekend so that I may live vicariously through you while I sit at work and contemplate slitting my wrists.

XOXO,
Bunny

honey badger don't care...

Just like the honey badger, I don't give a shit either.

Best lines:

*hey watch out says that bird.
*thanks for the snack, stupid.

today is my friday

Sorry kiddies for the absence yesterday.  This j-o-b of mine is requiring some serious commitment and dedication.  Neither of which I have enough to give and its pretty rough for a commitment-phobe like me.

I thought today we could do a random post...or everything that's in my head that's random.

*The movie Goonies was on last night.  I caught about 5 minutes before turning it, but it made me smile thinking about how movies from your childhood can make memories appear.  The same thing happens when I walk through Barnes and Noble children's section.  One glimpse of a Richard Scarry book and its like I'm 4 again.  I love me some Lowly Worm.

don't even pretend like you don't know what I'm talking about...

*Did any of you watch Happy Endings like I told you to?  The season finale was last night (already?!) and was another classic.  Catch up this summer please so I can have some discussion here.

*The Cougar Town finale was also on.  This show continues to make me dead.  And their term for drinking wine.."pound grape"...well it makes me dead.  And anyone that wants to go get a drink should say "bunny - lets go pound grape".

*Also from Cougar Town last night, Grayson (who is brutally hot) said a quote from a movie that has become underrated over the past 10 years.  He clapped his hands and said in a perfect Clump voice "Hercules! Hercules!"  Let's PLEASE bring that back.

*Don't think I forgot it was Thursday...therefore it's Lagerfeld Thursday!!
"Apparently, I am very scary. But if you get to know me, you see I am very nice. Happily, I don’t look like I am." — Karl Lagerfeld

*Should we check-in in Paris? I was correct that Nadal would win against Isner, but the match didn't go down like I thought.  Johnny Isner went down with a fight, winning two sets, and making Rafa play a five set match which he hasn't done in years.  Right now, as we speak, Rafa's playing Pablo Andujar and he's up one set. Novak Djokovic won his match yesterday after his opponent retired in the middle of the third set. Sometimes you just don't feel it (like me at the gym yesterday).  I kind of wish life was that way...after working for a couple hours you say "screw you guys I'm going home" and you come back ready for the next day.

*I am obsessed with my nail polish, Mad About Mango.  I would say its new, but I've been wearing it for about a month and I get so many compliments on it.  The other cool thing is it smells!  Like grapes. So good.





Tired and overworked and in need of a new show,

Bunny

PS - I hope you all have something exciting and fun planned for this weekend.  "What are you doing Bunny?" you may ask...well I gotta go to the RIC for the baby sister's college graduation.  Yes, Stinkerbelle is all grown up.  Maybe now she will stop being a 'gitchy-grabby'. Just kidding...that will never stop.  So yes, I'm in the RIC all weekend long (boo) meaning the posts will be sporadic at best.  But don't give up on me! I'll be back hard on Tuesday.

XOXO

weekend getaway?

If you haven't seen the movie Bridesmaids yet, then I'm ashamed of you.  But if you did see the movie, then you know that it takes place in the metropolis of Milwaukee, WI.  I don't know about you, but I was shocked as shit to realize the images they were showing on the movie was actually Milwaukee and not Canada or something.  It looked more like Chicago than Wisconsin. But after doing some research, it seems like Milwaukee would be a nice weekend getaway. From DC its just 2 hours away...and the plane tickets are $69 each way.  Also, just look at the pictures! 

Who wants to go??
Bunny

they both have money in common

Oh kiddies...your mama is tired. Like exhausted.  And when I woke up it was raining and the apartment was cold...it was perfect sleeping weather. But never fear.  I made it to work just so I could catch you up on last night's shows.

Too Big To Fail or how Warren Buffet is the shit:
Even if you don't care or understand the financial crisis that america went through 3 years ago, this was still a great movie...with amazing casting.  Though I have a bone to pick...the part where Paulson took the plan to Congress to review and vote on.  Sitting at the table were about 20 congressional leaders.  If you are a nerd like I am, you could instantly recognize the players - B. Frank, Chris Dodd, Nancy Pelosi.  However, when "Senator Richard Shelby" started speaking, I almost fell off the couch.  Good lord - that was the worst casting I have ever seen.  Totally ugly and looked nothing like the real Shelby. Granted, I'm probably the only person in world to have a crush on Shelby, but he really should sue.  And this actor's "southern" accent was appalling. And that's what hurts the most.

There were definite winners and losers in the movie/life.  Winner: Jamie Dimon who came off looking mature and smart.  Loser: Dick Fuld.  Lehman basically went under because he couldn't keep his ego in check.  Winner: Warren Buffet.  How sick is it to be the guy that BANKS call when they need money.  I am humbled and amazed at the money the man has.  And to think, while the world was collapsing, he was eating some DQ.  A man after my own heart.  Loser: Dan Heyada as Barney Frank.  Look, I understand that playing Barney is a hard, disgusting job.  Really - I understand.  But Dan should have called up my friend Ballou who does a killllllller impression of the slob.  He even spits while talking, just like B. Frank.  Winner: Tim Geithner.  I was impressed with little Timmy's role in the whole situation.  And I was impressed with how well he and Paulson worked together. Loser: SEC chair Chris Cox. What in the world was wrong with him?  I couldn't understand why he was being so apprehensive, but then I remembered that he was pretty new to the SEC role, coming straight off the Hill.  That's why he was afraid to do anything...he still had the congressman mentality of "I'm not pissing anyone off because I need to be re-elected in two years".

Best quote from the movie: "The British just grin-fucked us".

Did anyone watch?  I'm dying to hear what others think.

Real Housewives of Who Cares
Second episode into the train wreck that is New Jersey.  It's halloween in Franklin Lakes, NJ and you know what that means...another reason to dress slutty and pretend its all for the kids.  I flew through this episode for two reasons. 1. I was exhausted after my nerd rage with Hank Paulson and 2. I just don't care enough.  I didn't think they could find someone vile enough to fill Danielle's shoes after last season, but this new girl Melissa is working hard to fill those Jimmy Choos.  The jealously! The tempers! The fights! Who-whee. These eye-talians are crazy.  We start at the marble mansion of Teresa, or Super T, as she would like to be known by.  Just a nice little afternoon, carving the pumpkins, drinking some cider, discussing the brawl in the christening.  See, gossip travels fast around this part of jersey and everyone has heard the story from the god party.  So some uncouth person brings it up at the pumpkin party, and T starts to tell her story. I really didn't pay attention to what was being said as I got distracted with Caroline's amazingly orange Hermes scarf.  But T said blah, someone else said blah and ten people died of boredom.

Melissa and her beefcake of a husband went over to Kathy and her greasy, Jeff Goldblum of a husband, home for a simple little dinner.  Beefcake didn't dress up as he looked as if he had come straight from the gym.  Melissa however, had come straight from Rue de la Whore in Paris with her bedazzled beret.  And the only topic they can think to talk of is Teresa and all Melissa wants is an apology.  I'm not sure for what exactly though.  I ended up fast forwarding thru this part.  I just couldn't even deal with the beret.

See, the whole story line revolves around the Posche fashion show. It's like a real new york style show, except its not. And its in the Brownstone. To me, Posche looks like some little dumpy store inside a dumpy strip mall, but damn they have some clients. To the dismay of pretty much everyone, Kim D (owner of Posche) and the awful, disgusting, satan of a human being Kim G have returned. Annnnnd instantly Kim G is into the shit. She takes 3 steps into the store, finds someone new to prey on, and instant friends all because Teresa called her old. Um...Kim G you ARE old. And you are disgusting. And you need to act your age. If she was my mother, I would be mortified. So Melissa and Kim G become besties and because she tried on a dress, Kim D asked her to walk in the show. Melissa was all...but I can't, I'm not a model and then 10 seconds later she was all ohh I got this shit.

 Halloween night is here...everyone dressed up their kids and went looking for candy.  Teresa's kids seriously are adorable.  Baby tutti-frutti with the gym teacher outfit? Hysterical.

Beefcake decided to dress up like snooki - though all he really needed was the wig, because the dress was obviously his wife's.  Kim G and Kim D were invited because Melissa thought it would be cool to hang out with old people.  They weirdly talked about Teresa in the bar.  Anyone know what Kathy was supposed to be?

So if you will remember, last year's Posche show is where Danielle got her weave ripped out.  What amazing antics will happen this year, you ask.  Well the tension was whether Teresa would even talk to Melissa - which she did, because she is an adult - but she didn't apologize, so the shit was still going down.  Melissa brought her 2 wicked step sisters and Kim G and the lot of them were hooting and hollering like it was a pig calling contest. Stupid Melissa thought she was something reallllll special and so she walked the runway twice, looking like a damn fool. It was all pretty boring until Kathy decided THIS was the perfect opportunity to ask Teresa why she hadn't apologized.  Now I agree with T on this.  I'm still not sure what she did that caused such animosity.  But when you bring up T's kids - well you have done brought a fight. How DARE you say she left baby spumoni alone. How dare you.  She went running to her mother and her step mother for back up.  It was then that Melissa realized that she was not the center of attention and tried to make haste to the showdown. Caroline, watching quietly from the sidelines, finally had enough.  Mamma bear stepped in and shut the shit down. Dunzo. Over. After everyone had left and mamma bear had cooled down, she thought quietly to herself..."this is it. this is the last season. I just can't handle the drama anymore." And she wept silently wishing Albie was home...because Albie makes everything better.

Best quote of the episode: "Pretending as if we didn't just have an explosive christening."

So glad I'm not from Jersey,
Bunny
