RhymePhile's Rat Race

I haven't been able to keep up with LJ this week, so I hope everyone is doing okay. The main reason? The Oscars are on Sunday (I'll be here, in New York City, in work, covering them and updating the Big Dot Com's website as the winners are announced) and I've been super busy.

You wouldn't think it should be such a stressful time; last year went off without a hitch and ran smoothly. Maybe this year I'm a bit stressed because MY BOSS DECIDED NOW WAS A GOOD TIME TO GO ON VACATION. Gah!

Within the next week he's off there's the Oscars, a huge sale, and now I have the responsibility to look after all of DVD, on top of completing my own pages (which I haven't even started yet). And since he won't be here I can't take Monday off. I'm going to be up until 1 a.m.-ish...I wanted a comp day.

I did stop and buy myself some Entenmann's chocolate frosted donuts last night. I soothe stress with fattening products. Mmmmmmmm.

*deep sigh*

Oh, quick note about the season finale of Nip/Tuck, which I watched last night: It's like stawberry-flavored blow. It's so wrong, yet so tasty. Also? "I can't believe I have to say this, but stop sleeping with your sister!" BWAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAAAAAAA!!! Christian gets all the best lines, fo realz.

Anyway, I'm also reminding everyone who didn't hear about it to check out my Free Movie Ticket Giveaway Drawing that's occurring tomorrow. You get two free tickets to the new Will Ferrell comedy Semi-Pro. Details and such are available by clicking the link.

Last night I taped SVU and watched Nip/Tuck. My co-worker Mary doesn't have a TV but became obsessed with the good doctors of McNamara/Troy via DVD. I've been recording it on DVD for her. And also, many of my Flist watch. (colleendetroit, I was thinking of you during almost every scene last night!)

Apparently while I was watching the glorious hedonism of Sean and Christian in LA, I missed exploding pizzas in the squadroom and Olivia booking a suspect -- literally. I heard she actually hit the guy with a book.

I need a moment to BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

*wipes tears* Oh, SVU. You've turned into the soap opera of dramas. Are we going to get evil twins next? Characters that have been married multiple times? Scenes like that classic from Soapdish?

"He was decapitated! Do you know what that means? It means he doesn't have a head! How am I supposed to write for a guy who doesn't have a head? He's got no lips, no vocal cords!"

Or maybe we're going to get some kind of horrible, Emmy-worthy ailment, like blindness?

Oh, wait...

( More bwahahahaahaaaaing and Nip/Tuck-ing behind the cut )

Season 4 of Nip/Tuck comes out next Tuesday. The gag reel is very short -- only about a minute and a half -- but I thought I would cap some of McMahon's delicious moments. As my co-worker said, "I had no idea he could be so saucy!"

He's blue-steeling in the first two.














And in these he's looking at the camera and mouthing the words "Fuck me."

This is for badtyler and whomever else is going crazy over that fantastic song FX has been playing during the Nip/Tuck promos.

It's Goldfrapp's "Strict Machine."

Download that puppy here and imagine Christian Troy nekkid, because that's what I do.
