the wife swap i watched yesterday was agony. the woman was from England but had lost the sharp consonant sound and her 13 year old son (with three facial hair mustace) tapdanced and liked grown up book clubs. the sum of these things is grounds to break into their house and kill them in their sleep in my book. it was AWFUL just AWFUL!! the whole show was like dog bites and bee stings to my senses and i had to focus on cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels so as not to heave everytime she spoke.

i dearly love my iphone (it sleeps next to me:) but i hate the autocorrect on it. it takes a mildly mis-typed word and chancges it to an entirely different word :( ie. girl=hurl... how is that even close??! and i hate the noise it makes when it is too close to a speaker... that awful screeching sound. is there an app for that??

last night we watched Dead Like Me. it was mildly entertaining in that juno kind of way, definitely not worth being addicted to, or nuthin'. and Mandy Patinken was in it, who i love despite him wearing the most hideous starsky and hutch cardigans :| i hate his name... ohhh i hate it with a passion. i hate girl (not hurl) names on boys. they are the worst thing EVER. we had a neighbor once called kayleigh or something like that, i blocked it from my mind and could never say his name, make eye contact and even talk to him. boy names on girls (not hurls) i don't mind at all - funny, huh?!

i occasionally hate yelp and how everyone on there thinks they are cool - they're writing online reviews, how cool does that make them??! last night i read 191 reviews about the museum of jurassic technology in LA. oh my god, firstly i hate when people say something is 'pretty chill' and the reviews all SUCK!!!

• "The less you know about this place, the better!" (so..... why are you writing a review???!)
• "Some things are real, some aren't - does it really matter?" (why yes it DOES if i'm driving to LA and paying for parking...)
• "Ummmmmmmmmmm. That's the best way I can put how I feel about this place." (???)

i give up, i'm not going.
