I wonder if the back-up singers on American Idol ever think, "Why am I singing backup for this no-talent teen twerp?"

Seriously, those back-up singers are amazing and they are supporting some sub-par talent this year.  I have to say, I feel bad that they are stuck oohing and aahing behind a karaoke act I am happy for them because they are employed in an industry that they love.  Is there a number where I can text a vote for them?

I've taken a moment...

Okay, so I got a new email from Reid Rosenthal, from the Bachelorette.  If you missed the first Reid, AKA "Sex on Legs", post you can find it here:    Reid Mail Exchange #1 

I recieved this little missive from the Reidster, and again, I get the strange feeling that he didn't actually read Ms. L's and my email:

From the Desk of... Reid Rosenthal

Okay, Reid, since you asked to help, and you want to make sure I am 100% satisfied I will let you use *all* of your past years experience.  I don't think you really want a list of our wants and needs.  As we said it is a very small town and we are "horned up" after all.   I refuse to feel truly pathetic until the restraining order issues. 

No it isn't...

Okay folks. This container was brought to my office full of keys, apparently for George. I won't go into why it was full of keys. That is irrelevant.  What I will discuss is the name. "Isn't It Butter"

What. The. Hell? Where is the question mark? I can't even say this sentence without it becoming a question.  Go ahead, try to say it as written.  You can't.  Is it sarcasm?  Maybe.  My guess is that this product leaves no question about whether or not it is butter because it probably tastes like turds.  Isn't It Shit.

Would it be classier if it was a horned up toad?

So my friend Ms. L and I decided that the Bachelor was a big flop, and that Reid Rosenthal from the last Bachelorette should have been the Bachelor.  He is so adorable.  We decided to let Reid know what we thought of him.  We sent the following email to him at his website (where I found the tasty picture above):

Hey Reid! We wanted to drop you a line and tell you how wonderful we think you were on theBachelorette show, and we think you are definitely "sex on legs"

Sadie and Ms. L

(ps we are not crazy stalkers just normal horned up women living in a very small town!) haha

Ms. L insisted that "horned up" was a classier way to say "horny".  Ummm,... yeah.  So, I received the following generic email from "Reid":

Hello,

Thank you for visiting our website. We hope that you were able to find everything you needed. Our site is updated daily with new and valuable information. Please visit as often as you like and consider it your personal real estate resource center.

This is the standard reply email everyone gets because I think if Reid Rosenthal actually read our email he probably is not looking forward to speaking with us soon.  :)  We love you Reid, and promise to use your agency if we are ever looking for land in Philly!  

P.S. I will let you all know if a restraining order issues.

George Harrison was so brilliant.  Last thursday would have been his 67th birthday.  I am glad that though he is not physically with us anymore, his music is.  He was never caught up the drama that came with working with big egos.  He came to the studio to make music, and he did: beautiful, layered, heartfelt music.   His work is so lovely it makes me want to cry, smile and sing along all at the same time.  The next time you are feeling down, put on "My Sweet Lord" or "Here Comes the Sun", and feel the magic.  Happy belated birthday George.

Star Wars Picspam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

None of these are mine. They belong to their respective owners. They are incredibly awesome!

Wal-mart and hairy-wart should rhyme, but they don't...

I went to the icky Wal-Mart to buy a filter for my humidifier, and decided to look in the fabric and notions section for some new fun yarn.  What I found there was both disturbing and haunting.

Do you all remember those zubaz pants that were popular with football fans and coaches in the 90's?  Well I found a middle-aged man in the fabric department wearing a pair, in tiger.  He had several bolts of fabric laid out across his buggy.  One is a checkered flag print, the other has the number 3 all over it and the other two have various nascar logos all over them.  This guy is looking back and forth between the fabric and his tony the tiger pants, almost as if he is wondering how much fabric he will need to fashion a homemade pair of these textile nightmares.   In fact, I think that is exactly what he was contemplating. He is staring at the fabric and ... Oh, the humanity.  Things like this should not be allowed to happen in America.

Check this out!  This chick is a hoot!

Non sequitur: I really hate it when you find a really perfect piece of fruit at the grocery, and you pick it up and the side that was hidden is all mushy.  Such a let-down.
