 Pigs, the Lot of Them |

Oh, my sweet Lord. On Yahoo! Radio, I have just added the soundtracks to myriad musicals. Right now, the opening song of The Secret Garden is playing. Seriously -- this is the most awesome thing I have ever done for myself at work. The occasional ad is not a bother; I don't even notice the ads. You can add songs by song, artist, or album. I added Camelot and Ragtime. Martha is now singing, "It's the storm, not you, that's bound to go away." IT IS TOO MUCH. I am really kind of beside myself. Karla and Jeannie took me out for a late birthday lunch yesterday. We ate lebanese, and garlic vapors are still steaming off of my skin. Karla gave me a cute tie-dyed bag to carry my yoga mat in. I tried to get up to go to the gym this morning, honestly I did, but I was too busy having an erotic dream about Seth Cohen that morphed into an erotic dream about Adam Rove on Joan of Arcadia. I disturb myself. These are high school boys. It's just not right. There are bowls full of hershey's kisses and miniatures and a giant bag of sour skittles taunting me from our conference table. I haven't had sweets for two days, though, and I'm not going to give in now. Maybe not having sugar for a few days will make me suddenly develop a strong hatred for it and all of the cellulite on my butt will miraculously disappear. I now have a setting of this lovely Fiestaware thanks to a generous and sensational fellow journaler who shall remain nameless. It is so pretty and bright, I want to lick it. I am so disgusted by lack of concern and attention paid to Sue last night on Survivor. I realize she's a grating loudmouth, but come on! How could everyone be so nonchalant about Richard rubbing his bare naked genitals on her crotch? Am I remembering this wrong? I thought the players might just be keeping quiet in order to not call attention to themselves, but Jeff Probst seemed totally unconcerned, and the ridiculously negative comments made about Sue after her departure were bordering on the absurd. I listen to the Kidd Kraddick show on the way to work in the mornings because I often get a good laugh out of their foolery, but I don't think I'm going to after today. Kid seemed to think that because Richard is gay, he is incapable of doing anything sexually inappropriate to a woman. What? That's pretty much one of the dumbest things I've ever heard anyone say in my life. A dick is a dick is a dick, and if any man approaches an unwilling woman with it, hello? Why does it matter if he's gay or straight? He's an asshole. This entire group on the radio, much like the people on the show, seemed to think that Sue totally overreacted and just wanted off the show and wanted an excuse to possibly be able to sue and get some money out of it. I can't believe I'm sitting here getting so insulted on behalf of Sue Hawk, but I am. I'm insulted. What if Richard had done that to Alicia, or Jerri, or Amber? Are we to believe that the rest of the women and the men on the show would not have jumped immediately to their defense or that anyone would have blamed them for sticking up for themselves? Boston Rob and Big Tom surely would have wanted to pound Richard Hatch's naked obnoxious ass, especially if it were their sweet angelic Amber, and Alicia and Jerri certainly would not have tolerated it without demanding some kind of punishment for Richard (had he not been voted off). I find it very disturbing that everyone seems to think Sue was in the wrong for reacting the way that she did. Sure, Richard is seen by many as just a big albeit smarmy galoot who played it off as all part of the silliness of the moment and his previous comical feuding with Sue, but how can anyone in his or her right mind think she was wrong for getting as upset as she did? Because Sue's a tough talking, tough playing truck driving woman, she should have just shrugged it off and is a crazy bitch for not doing that, but if it had been any of the younger, cuter, less disliked women, there would have certainly been an uproar. Just as I suspect there would have been had it been one of the other guys, say Big Tom, who did the unwanted naked gyrating against one of the other women instead of Big Fat Silly Gay And Therefore Innocuous Stupid Scot Free Richard doing it to Sue, the Butch Bitch. And that's complete bullshit. And fuck Jeff Probst for not acknowledging that, and fuck the rest of the cast members for not having the balls or brains to say that, and fuck Kidd Kraddick and his morning show for being such neanderthals about it. On a lighter note, speaking of neanderthals, I have long stated that Luke on The O.C. reminds me of Early Man, and I take Seth's comments about his discovering fire and hunting and gathering as a direct shout-out to me. Also, after being wholly annoyed by Ryan for the majority of the season, hearing him cry, "Don't insult Journey!" redeemed him possibly forever in my eyes.
