I just started watching this show on Bravo about Paula Abdul. See the title of this post. I wonder how many minutes of this I will be able to stomach. When I was in high school, Paula Abdul was at the peak of her fame. I remember her stupid songs were quite inescapable. And that she was the same height as me.
I assume she still is.
Oh look here she is asking her maid to clean up dogshit.
Anyway.
Tomorrow I am sending some SF real estate listings to my dad. He needs physical evidence that one-bedroom condos in bad neighborhoods in this city cost $600,000. So it’s not like, “Well, you’re paying to live in a very desirable place!” No, you’re paying to watch drug dealers and hobos piss on your front steps.
(Man this show fucking WISHES it was Kathy Griffin’s show. Even Lisa Loeb’s show was better than this, and it was about how this incredibly sexy cute talented girl couldn’t get a date.)
I think I will finish “Dear Catastrophe Waitress” tonight. If not tonight then definitely on the train tomorrow morning.
Of course I saw it, because I have to see any sort of Britney Chaotic style nonsense. Oh lord have mercy. Paula is like a really drunk Mussolini. I think she eventually fired that dude who eats the most amount of her garbage, if what I read matches what I see. Yes, it’s his fault that he couldn’t contain reportage of her being on tv making word salads. Maybe next time skip QVC and go straight to the Food Network. Heh.
I managed to skip “Chaotic.” That’s what Best Week Ever is for!
Ok was it just me or did Paula look really puffy and bloated during her fake-interview segments during the show?
And isn’t she essentially just a former cheerleader?
by “Dear Catastrophe Waitress”, do you mean the Belle & Sebastian album?
No, the novel of the same name.
I knew it sounded familiar!
So I guess this means I should be able to name MY book after a song I like! Rad.
I thought that “finishing” an album seemed like an odd turn of phrase. How’s the book?
Have you read Jonathan Lethem’s You Don’t Love Me Yet? It seems like it fits into a similar genre as Dear Catastrophe Waitress and your own work in progress.
No I haven’t but I’ll check it out. I should be done with this one today — it’s one of those books you just fly through in a few days, which can be fun after taking two months to wade through a Murakami novel.
yeah. that’s the way of the Lethem novel, too. It made for good travel reading.
Oh and Belle and Sebastian are thanked in the acknowledgments.
