Fifteen Minutes of Scrawl

Time for the fifth part of the tell all!  So Jasmine and Matt's baby was a surprise Okay, Matt and Gino fighting is kinda silly tbh Wow Jasmine has been very honest Omg time for the therapists to chat Florian, don't go after Reba Josh, have you not cut it off yet? Florian is losing it Did Stacey call Florian a monster? Shaun, do you really want to see these folks again? I'm glad someone comforted Jasmine Oop is Stacey trying to get rid of Florian? I mean, Rob, you and Sophie should've filed a while ago Gosh are Jasmine and Gino divorced yet? I still wonder what ended Gino's first marriage I'm glad Bini and Ari can be civil Natalie, I say have a kid on your own at this point Josh, I don't like you I do want Brandon and Julia to work Stacey, I think I'd enjoy you on The Single Life Well, good season!

The Empire Strips Back: A Burlesque Parody is a burlesque Star Wars  parody that I saw with a couple of friends. Overall, I had a good time There was a bit too much male gaze/jokes for me at times The host's bits were too long I didn't love that they used a Biggie song for Jabba the Hutt (and kept the n word in it) My favorite act was probably "Wrecking Ball" with naked Emperor Palpatine My second favorite was the very first with the tauntaun There should've been more male acts I had the most fun with acts where I knew the song The act referred to as "The Twins" was one of my least favorites (probably because it was a slow number) I think I was often taken out of the moment because I chose a seat so far back I did not like it when the lights shone directly in my eyes I wish the bars sold snacks Sometimes, I didn't think the music super fit the act It made me want to learn to dance better but also activated some body image issues There was an impress...

Time for some fights? I'm sorry that Stevi's dad is sick Gosh, Shawn, I wonder whose fault it is that so many people are out of the loop? What a topical reference, Shawn Shawn is problematic af Okay, that wasn't quite what Any said, Matt, but yes, what Any said was a problem Ah yes, let's not forget that Sarper snatched a lollipop away from Shekinah and smashed it Okay, is it bad that Sarper thought about things beforehand and maybe planned what he was going to say (given that English is not his first language)? Like, don't get me wrong, I'd have concerns about Sarper, too, but I think Shekinah's sisters are not making good points Greg's mom is rude sometimes (but she is right that Greg would expect her to do everything for the wedding if they had it at her house) Stevi's venue isn't my favorite, but I also get they're on a budget and super tight timeline I was down with Claire until she suggested boob paintings (ah this seems like a joke) I ...

Just some disconnected musings about the first three seasons of Southern Hospitality. Well well well, Maddi and Joe are finally together Maddi being sober in this environment especially is so impressive (though I do worry for her) Wow are the women prettier than the men (as a whole) Emmy, get thee to therapy Will looks like he's 12 How successful is this show compared to Vanderpump Rules after three seasons? Some of the cast just shouldn't be on the show based on their reactions to it Leva could stand to be in the show more Grace Lily is so chaotic but such good TV How did they pick which members of their staff would be on the show? I'm here for the crossovers with the  Southern Charm  cast and want more (let's get messy!) The promposals were sweet overall Will future seasons keep including former staff members? The show has some pretty serious conversations at times I'll definitely be coming out for another season (Prompt by me) Southern Hospitality , Bravo Promoti...

Here are some short pieces based on things that have happened in my life recently. Mangoes I have eight mangoes waiting to ripen. I love mangoes. I happily eat them messily, scraping what I can from the seeds and wiping my lips and cheeks free of the excess juice. But they have not ripened. They have gotten a little softer, but they are still firm. I bought them for me to eat, and yet they aren't ready. Will they be ready on a timeline that works for me? I don't know.  Will I catch them between being ripe and being rotten? I hope so. For now, I wait. Painting I picked out a painting that belonged to my father to hang in my own home. It is the one that makes me think most of him. But I don't know where to hang it. I think I have a spot picked out, but I'll have to move some other artwork. That's not a problem, but somehow I don't have the motivation to make the switch.  Maybe because it seems somewhat final. Maybe because I fear having the reminder up in my home....

They have dates already, so they should start booking guests! Here are some people I'd love to see (in no particular order). NB: The guests are often grouped into what I'd imagine a panel to be.
