is that all you want from me?

Well, since I don't have class til four today, I do have time to comment on some of the things I touched on yesterday... and maybe some more, if I feel like it...

1) Toddlers and Tiaras, "Miss Georgia Spirit"... random thoughts. I think I'll put them in list form, just because I do love my lists:
1) Dear Marleigh's mother... STOP letting your two-year-old hit you! Yes, it is the terrible twos, but there's a difference between a kid saying "no" all the time and actually smacking you! Time for some discipline (and no, not spanking or anything, I don't believe in that... just, how about laying down some rules and having consequences?) I didn't really like Marleigh's mom that much, but I also don't like seeing people get smacked around by their kids. I DO think Marleigh at least likes pageants somewhat, because she seemed to be having fun onstage, but she didn't seem to be interested in getting her nails done or her lipstick on or anything. So... if she was my kid... I'd either take her out of pageants until she was three or so and then see if she was more interested, OR let her do the occasional natural pageant where she doesn't need any makeup or anything, or just find her a new hobby...
2) I really, really loved Kayleigh. She was adorable. Her family was sweet. I was pulling for her to win... until she actually got onstage. She wasn't making good eye contact and seemed kind of scared. Her swimsuit didn't do much for me, either, although as I said in my last entry I LOVED her dress!
3) Story was cute. I loved all of her outfits, although I thought Kayleigh's dress was prettier than hers. I loved when she meditated, and her brother was hilarious with the "I'm not the weatherman" thing.
4) I thought this episode would be a wreck, and except for the RIDICULOUS "oops we made a mistake and we crowned the wrong girl"/"well we didn't really like Story..." thing, it wasn't that bad. Marleigh's mom didn't make pageant moms look all that great, but Story's mom and coach and Kayleigh's mom and aunt seemed fine and weren't pushy or anything. I will say that I hope that system goes right down the tubes, because WHO in their right mind talks about their winner (Story) like that?? Also read somewhere else where one of the director's husbands was a judge, which is a huge conflict of interest, but who knows if that's true...

2) House, "The Greater Good." I think that since one of the last episodes was called "Painless", this one should have been called "Painful," because it was just that... painful to watch. I loved Thirteen's whole "Oh no. I am blind. This is good because now I can get some more mileage out of my blank stare. Oh hey Foreman, I can see you! Because of course I call my boyfriend by his last name... soooo romantic..." Also, Cuddy is just mean now, and what is it with everyone wanting kids?? First Cuddy gets the baby, then Thirteen wants kids, now Taub? I'm not a big fan of analyzing a writer's work by focusing on them, but I think somebody on the writing staff really really wants a baby... I do really like Taub's wife though. I hope we see more of her. And bring back Cameron, I heart her. Also, although I am not the biggest fan of him, I do think we should be seeing more Chase. I know their 100th episode wasn't supposed to be anything special, but I would be sad if I were on a show and I didn't even get included in such a milestone episode...

3) I will talk about the "Curse of Getting Involved" in a later entry, because I have some non-Internet-related stuff I need to get done. Also I will possibly talk about Michael Phelps and how I really hate when people smoke pot...
