Writer's Block: Investigations of a Female Nature

Who is your favorite lady detective from movies, books, or TV?

Velma from SCOOBY DOO. I mean, she was the only one who could find a watch, a footprint, and a burned note and figure out that the Tarantula Monster of Spooky Manor is actually Hector McCree, the man who owns the corn mill who's trying to scare people away from his illegal diamond smuggling route. Shaggy just ate a lot, Scooby got scared, Velma got kidnapped, and Fred always tried to trap the monster in a complex trap that always went horribly wrong.

The last thing I wanted to know was that America Ferrera is 25 today.

On the plus side, I found Ugly Betty quite tiresome long ago, but still enjoy my own company. Awesome!

MELROSE

Watching MELROSE PLACE, and am struck by a few thoughts.

1. They've really played out Kim's character. She needs to do something insane, like steal Amanda's skin and pretend to be her.
2. I can practically feel myself being enveloped by Lisa Rinna's lips during her close-ups. They seem like a super duvet.
3. There's so much less Billy, I could hug someone. Also he's...acting...better?
..and shoot, I thought the Jett bathroom ejactulator

THE LAIR 2: Wasn't This That Gay Show About Vampires?

So, I rented The Lair season 2. The Lair is an independent show about vampires who have sex with other vampires. And they're all men. And on the whole island, there is one woman. It's campy and ridiculous, mostly because most of the actors are porn stars. So they either act seriously or just try to remember their lines.

But it was a show about vampires.

And then season 2 came along, and it became about vampires, werewolves,and evil plants...and the men who love them. Yes, there is a love triangle involving a botanist, a tattooed assistant, and an evil nocturnal plant.

This show is fierce!

JANUARY

Everyone seems to have the January blahs.

We're all sick, we're all tired, we all hate our jobs, our friends are all lazy, and everyone on facebook is talking about murdered Jews in their statuses. Yes, this irks me.

But what about the fact that the girls from The Hills are a) richer and b) famouser than me? Or you?

Case in point:
The girls from the Hills discuss the Large Hadron Collider.



Truly something to feel bad about.
