Some Points:
1) My credenza comes in tomorrow. I guess someone (this guy!) is skipping lunch so he can zip to the Beach to be there when the truck comes, and then zip back to work. (boo!)
2) I've been really crappy lately. Partly because I'm miserable with my social life and my job (you never fucking call me to go out! Why am I always the one doing all the work?! What?! You don't like me or something?! Pick up the goddamn phone!) and I was pissed off at the F.B., which, unfortunately doesn't stand for "fuck buddy," rather, "Fucking Benz" which has FINALLY come out of the shop the second time around, and FINALLY drives like a supercharged Mercedes again now that it has a new fuel pump and the carbon deposits have been scraped off the pistons. Thank God for warranties...
But I was thinking, and I realized what the REAL reason is for my being so embittered lately... It's not that no one loves me, or that my job is sucking my soul out of me... or that my boss wants me to "handle it" and "be a lawyer" and "protect the Client" (whatever that means...)
I'm miserable because, how fucking long has it been since I've caught an episode of the Golden Girls?
Too fuckin' long, that's how long.
I hardly remember the last time Sophia made us laugh with one of her, "Picture it... Sicily, 1920..." or Rose made us laugh with one of her St. Olaf stories... or Blanche made us laugh by being a filthy old whore... or Dorothy made us laugh at whatever godawful draped pants-suit she wears...
Or Stan made us laugh by wearing a toupee... or Miles made us laugh by... eh. Miles sucked.
Or Blanche's Mammy made us laugh because she had an affiar with Big Daddy...
You get the picture.
Because when it comes down to it? I love the Golden Girls. Probably because I'm gay. But also, I'll posit this to you: it's possibly the funniest show ever, stoned. Not that I know from experience or anything.
But this whole "lack of daytime television" even WITH the magic of TIVO is putting a crimp on my relationship with those Zany Ladies who... brighten up my day with their fake "Miami" antics... It's making me a Cranky McCrankerson.

Even though I never see you, I love you! I totally hear you on the GG thing - I stayed home sick 2 days ago and got to see 2 marvelous epispodes (#1 - Rose gets "her dad", Bob Hope, to MC their show and #2 Dorothy takes Sophia to Disneyworld on Vacay only to bore her to death with family slides and reminisce about the the old days, whilst all sophia wants to do is rid space mountain)
If you come visit in Atlanta, we can watch the Golden Girls and then go out in my neighborhood, where my husband is the only straight man within miles!!!
XOXO...

That's why I love you, Abbs. We could hunker into a nice cheesecake and focus on what's really important - 80s television. No Georgia trips planned as of this date, but who knows what the future brings!!!
XOXOXOX

Superbee, I will see you in 2 months and that will make you happy, right?
Also, an FYI, if you're going to MD for Tofurkey Day, Bubba has like 4 seasons of the GG on DVD and I can almost assure you that if you wanted to cuddle on her couch and watch them with her, she would oblige. She ADORES you!

Dre-Dre - I get in on Toosdy to BWI. I'm done flying into DCA. Do your parents live on Owen Brown yet?
And Yes, I'm very much looking forward to boating. And seeing you. Maybe this time, you can come down to my phatty paddy.

Im not going home for Turjey, but Bubba will be there. Call her.
By Thanksgiving, you will be able to walk to my parents new house from your parents house, but it's not in Owen Brown...it's..well,,,Im not sure if it's considered Clary's Forest or not, but it's uber close!
As for Christmas, mos def will be coming down to Miami (though you are always welcome to Delray/Boca for a boating trip as well). Either they will buy a new car that Im actually not afraid to drive or I will rent one and come down to see you and 2 other friends in Miami, so get ready for your bitches!
Also, you better have upgraded to at LEAST an E class by then because no daughter of my mother can be seen in anything M or C, mmmmkay?

I'm not into GG but it does have one of the best theme songs.
What are your feelings on the GG's spinoff, Empty Nest?

I did love Harry Weston, and Park Overall, and Dreyfuss, the dog. They're all dead now. Well.... all except Park Overall. And she might as well be...
