(no subject)
Right now there is a pineapple sitting on the kitchen counter. I've never in my thirty years been up close and personal with a whole pineapple and I felt that it was time to rectify that situation. They were also on sale last week. How could one pass that up? I didn't realize how heavy it would be. You could totally subdue someone with a pineapple if you had the necessity. I mean, you could just grab it by the leaves at the top in a menacing fashion and your opponent would run away because who the heck wants a face full of bumpy pineapple? Exactly.

Jon Lester almost pitched another no-hitter tonight, but he had to settle for a complete game. Freakin' people from Texas ruin everything! Big Papi hit his second home run of the year and by the looks of it, he may just hit a third by August. *sigh* I love my boys, I do, but how can Jason Varitek, who got re-signed by the skin of his teeth and who stunk so bad last year that every time he walked up to the plate they were guaranteed an out, have ten (ten!...and on two separate occasions he hit two in a single game for cryin' out loud) HRs and David Ortiz only has two? I've considered the reasons and I don't like any of them, so I will just cling to those two round-trippers and pretend that he just needs new contact lenses or something. Gah!

Quick and Dirty Review: Out at the Wedding
Okay, so this woman lives in NYC and has a fiance who happens to be black and Jewish. She's afraid that her family from South Carolina won't accept him so she never tells them about him and she tells him and his parents that her whole family is dead (what?). Somehow, at her sister's wedding a rumor gets passed around that she's a lesbian and everyone figures that explains why her date to the wedding is her gay BFF. This woman decides that it's better to let them think she's munchin' carpet rather than dippin' in the Kosher chocolate, so she lets everyone think that the rumor is true and returns to NYC where she and her gay BFF decide that she needs to hire a real lesbian to pretend to be her GF in anticipation of her sister's impending visit. Supposed hilarity ensues.
It was cute and the people in it were cute. I, for some reason, couldn't get over the lying and that made the lying liar pants lead character, Alex, totally unsympathetic to me. All I could think was that if someone lied to me the way she lied to her fiance and future in-laws that I would not want to stay with this person when the truth came to light. Also, if I was a member of her family, I'd be pissed that she told her fiance that I was dead (again, what?). So yeah, it had cute moments and a sappy-happy ending, but the story itself was wanting. On a positive note, Cathy DeBuono plays the hired lesbian and I like looking at Cathy DeBuono...a lot.
I mean, you can hardly blame me for that.
*ahem* I'll be in my bunk.
