How happy does this picture make you?

Guess what?

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THANKSGIVING!!!!

When I moved to New York City on that cold January morn back in 2004, I knew one person. His name is Chris Barnes and we have been friends since 6th grade. He'd come up to NYC for college and since I visited him all the time while I was doing my time at UGA, I met a lot of his friends. So when I moved here, I kind of ingratiated myself into his circle of NYU class of '03 alums and without the twins, and Yas and Orlando and Pat and Beth/Elle, that first winter here would have been unbearable. They all completely accepted me and made me feel at home and I think that's so incredibly awesome of them!

But anyway--Yas is an amazing cook as well as an amazing hostess and Thanksgiving at her house is not to be missed. My friends and I talk about Thanksgiving all year long so I am VERY EXCITED ABOUT TOMORROW.

Also isn't being off work amazing?

I mean I fear for my job just like everyone else in these recession times--especially since I work for a TV show that relies on a strong real estate market. But for the next 4 days I'm NOT going to worry about that. I'm going to have a fabulous time at Thanksgiving and I'm going to enjoy every moment of my time off.

And I hope you do the same!!!

I wanted to see Lisa slap Kim!!

I was under the impression that there would be more fighting on the Atlanta Housewives reunion last night. There was definitely lots of yelling and lots of, "I can say what I want to say, it's my opinion" but there was no slapping or wig pulling offing which is what I needed.

What I got was:

• NeNe calling Kim out on her broke wig FINALLY
  
• Kim crying about said broke wig and making up a heinous story about having "thought she had cancer." Apparently Kim doesn't know that it's the chemotherapy that comes AFTER THE DIAGNOSIS that causes hair loss. Props to the host (who usually annoys the shit out of me) for saying repeatedly, "So you do not have cancer? Did I hear that right? You have never had cancer?"
  
• DeShawn being an idiot. She's "getting her masters in divinity....online." Also when the host asked her what her take on the NeNe vs Kim fiasco, her response was, "Wha...." and then they cut to something else.
• Sheree being her usual drag queen self. I really can't stand her. And I HATE that people tell her she's pretty without adding the disclaimer "for a man."
• Lisa's inner psycho coming through--mama like!!!! I really wanted her to go Jerry Springer on Kim and I NEED TO SEE the footage they didn't show.
• The wonderful line from NeNe, "Close ya legs to married men."
  
• Also, NeNe is a stripper.....for her husband. (YEAH RIGHT--it's okay to admit you had to make a living in the late 80s/early 90s NeNe)
  

I didn't get the reunion show I wanted but with lines like, "You made me feel really bad by saying my wig squeezes my brain", there was still lots to love. And afterwards the OC Housewives premiered. I've been watching those bitches for 4 seasons now and I am definitely happy they are back. Tammy is not back this season and I'm sad about that because she was the most real of the bunch but I have to say I LOVE Gretchen and her pee-paw sugar daddy.

Bravo does it right.

I die.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Day=made.

Do you need a DNA test too?

I had to take a pic of my TV for this.

Last night NeNe on my fav show The Real Housewives of Atlanta went to take a DNA test. She didn't go to a doctor's office or to a hospital or to a fancy lab.

No, she just went to Any Test.

It kind of looks like maybe there is a Kohl's on one side and on the other, one of those teacher stores that sells happy face rulers and sweaters with large sparkly kid friendly designs. Good to know that this can be found in my home state. I guess there are a lot of Georgians with paternity issues.

I kind of wish

that one of Obama's first initiatives would be to institute a mandatory workday naptime hour.

The election is over

So now we can get back to what really matters.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta is the best new show of the fall. Bravo you come up with some shit (i.e. Million Dollar Listing and Top Design) but you have hit the goldmine with the Housewives series.

If you haven't watched it don't worry. Bravo re-runs its shows so much it's kind of hard to not have every episode practically memorized. These women are out of control hilarious and they totally don't realize which makes it EVEN FUNNIER. They are all athletes wives except for NeNe and Kim.

NeNe is THE SHIT and she is a reason that I will always love reality TV. The NeNes of the world need to be shown off and we have Bravo's genius producers to thank for her.

Lisa Wu is my second fav--she's the prettiest but also the one that would annoy me the most if I knew her in real life because she's kind of way too perky.

Kim is the White One and I was loving her at the beginning of the season but after the last ep I am seeing that that bitch is HELL. She has an unseen boyfriend called Big Poppa. Big Poppa has no problem buying Kim whatever tacky thing she is into. And bitch is into LOTS OF TACKY SHIT. Kim is also a white bitch who thinks she's black. This is usually not SUPER annoying but if she gushes one more time over how AMAZING BLACK SKIN IS, I'm over it. She always wants to be a singer and somehow got hooked up with producer Dallas Austin but SHE SUCKS. Like REALLY SUCKS. As in WATCH THIS:



My least favs are DeShawn and Sheree. DeShawn is one of those super religious super ignorant people I hate who belong to mega-churches and end sentences with the phrase "all things are possible with God." She and her bball playing husband (who looks like a wife-beater) moved into a monstrosity of a mansion and had it decorated sight unseen. First off, who does that. Second off, the designer did an AWFUL job and their house has no personality and they use like 3 of the 25 rooms. DeShawn also needs a speech therapist. If she wants to roll in high society she can't say "I need some new joo-ree for my gayla."


And then there's Sheree--she is a DEAD RINGER for the Lady Chablis. And she's annoying as hell. She and Kim say things to each other like "You're stupid beautiful." Sheree is constantly being told that she's so pretty and this angers me because anyone who has eyes can see that she looks like a tranny who's NOT trying.

One of these people is a drag queen.

To give you a taste of what's in store for you with this wonderful program here's a clip of my NeNe singing a song about Kim.

Also I just took a quiz on Bravo.com and guess what???

Hey California

Why do you have to go and ruin the celebratory mood by reminding us that there are still a lot of close-minded people who think they have the right to tell other people what is right and what is wrong.

Prop 8 is bullshit.

That's President Obama to you!

We did it!!

I'm really happy right now and really into the Obamas and America and REALLY into New York City. I was just at Rockefeller Center when I heard the news and I swear my heart actually stopped for a minute. I thought his speech was everything that it should be to reassure America that they made the right choice. And I'm really hoping that the fact the he ran a really great and non-negative campaign is a trend that evolves into a habit.

I voted!!

There was a long line and only 2 machines, one of which was broken for a while.





But I made it. I voted.


I FEEL GOOD!!!!!!


OBAMA 08!!!!!

My boyfriend took my weave out yesterday

And he dressed in drag for Halloween for our couples costume.

For those of you who don't know about weaves--a hairstylist will charge like $50 to take it out. It's not a pretty job.

But Justin did a fantastic job and I told him he should put up a post on Craigslist and offer his newfound talent to the masses.

This is me after Justin took out my weave.

This is also the face the my boyfriend still loves
even after dealing with my rat's nest of a head.


Justin Manu is awesome.



And he has never had a cavity.

Almost There

Tomorrow is election day.

Fucking finally.


I am all tuckered out of rants and raves so I will just say this.

Please vote tomorrow.

PLEASE VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA.


And now, please enjoy this picture of my boyfriend and I dressed as Heidi Klum and Seal for Halloween.
