I feel your pain.  Do you feel mine? I bet you do. Yes, I refer to that niggling noggin splitting pain, that bone gnawing anguish, that teeming existential angst we experience whenever we face The Ugly Truth.

You know what I speak of, for like my humble self, you too are a highly discerning individual. Intellectually aware, artistically appreciative, cultivated, indubitably enlightened to a “T.”

Kindred souls you and I, we folks of gentle nature, we who cringe at double negatives and dangling participles as if they were sidewalk spitting or public urination. (They might as well be, you say!) We, who are dumbstruck by blatant ignorance as if it were a whack to the side of the skull by a cricket bat; we who recoil as garish tattoos and vile body piercings mar the landscape like graffiti violates a beautiful city’s grand architecture.

Malibu, Baby!

MAY DAY!   MAY DAY!

After a long winter and a chilly, slow start to spring…

(you may have noticed) it’s finally May.

The spring fever many of us felt in April was merely the flu.

So it’s time to squeeze in a celebration of spring before Memorial Day whacks us like a Wasabi wiener and folks (certainly not me) are complaining about how hot it is.

Is it hot in here or is it just me? [...]

How is sequestration (THE budget cuts) affecting your favorite TV programs?

1 – THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS

#RHOBH is cutting the cast by one member. The vote is in. Adios Adrienne Maloof.

And take your Maloove Hooves with you!  Don’t let the limo door hit you on the way out.

2 – HOMELAND

Only enough chill meds for poor Carrie to take a magic pill every other day. Prescriptions are expensive even when you squeeze them from your sister the shrink. [...]

How is 2013 going for you?

(I sincerely hope you haven’t slipped and cut your knee on a New Year’s Day “fitness” hike, come down with the flu, succumbed to a stubborn vocal cord infection and laryngitis, had a collision with a parking garage pole, received a swollen lip from the car door, broken an expensive glass vase in a gift store, and agreed to go to the movie Zero Dark Thirty on your wedding anniversary.)

If so (or worse!)… I feel your pain.

Speaking of pain, here are some Robitussin-induced musings: [...]

Like computer worms and flesh eating bacteria, “Reality TV” just won’t go away.

Amazing how it simultaneously entertains and horrifies.

Yes, some of the people are interesting in often the most mind-boggling ways… but are they fascinating? Barbara Walters thinks so. [...]

What gifts don’t YOU want?

In the spirit of LESS materialism… Thank you, but please DON’T buy me the following:

*A sexy Santa gift… especially if I’ve been naughty. What’s with the “We wish you a slutty Xmas!” sentiment? Watch out – Frosty the Snowman is so hot and bothered, he may melt.

*An e-card with a slide share of cutesy farm animals singing Christmas carols. Stay out of my inbox! It’s messy enough in there. [...]

The weekend is a wonderful time to indulge in books, food, movies, Facebook, and… ?

It’s season 3 of Bravo’s RHOBH and don’t ya jest love it?

Like most truly cheesy TV, “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” is provocative, potent, and chock full of teaching moments.

We are now blessed with 7 RHOBHs: Lisa Vanderpump, Adrienne Maloof, Kyle Richards, Kim Richards, Taylor Armstrong, Brandi Glanville, and Yolanda Foster.

BTW their combined ages are over 320 years.

SO they certainly can teach us a thing or two… or 7. [...]
