Fireworks

I wonder if there’s anyone in Conservative America who’s as rebuffed watching Kyle and Fish as I am watching Gigi and Schuyler.

I don’t know if I’ll have all that much more to say today…I’m feeling strangely end-of-the-year lethargic, and it’s all I can do to stay alert as Sassy declares her undying Lumber Love to poor Matthew.

I have to say that they made Nick sympathetic as he admitted how he couldn’t bear the thought of being alone after the bashing. Semi-sniff.

Watching the season premiere last night of Jon and Kate plus Hate at Level 8 was a sad experience. I got hooked on this show about a year ago, and caught up on most of the endlessly repeated episodes. The hook, of course, is the sextuplets, plus the two older twins (one of whom is the Bad Seed incarnate).
