Okay, I have to confess something, and now I’ll be even more dead to you…I never understood haiku. There. I said it. You’d think I’d feel better but I don’t.

Oh, I totally thought this was your job! I can’t imagine doing this and NOT getting paid. I mean, I’ll blog all day about stupid stuff, but to actually force myself to recap something for free? Uh-uh. Mad respect.

I think the next review should be Dr. Suess inspired. Just a thought.

Full recaps are never up at TWOP until wed. morning which to me is unforgivable. I wish I wasn’t such a slave to Potes’ humor.

Everyone has bad days! However, it’s a nice opportunity to bring up a few things, like:

(1) I don’t get paid for my blog time! I suspect it’s because it would be hard to come in to work a few hours late and trying to explain it away by saying, “I stayed up last night watching ‘America’s Next Top Model’ AND ‘Project Runway,’ and then writing about them and waiting for The CW to put up their photos and re-sizing them and adding links.”

(2) This is also why I don’t feel bad about taking a week off and not writing about anything, even if it *is* Phoenix Fashion Week and they did open up an Electric Ladyland at Scottsdale Fashion Square that was so jam-packed with skinny blondes with big hair that it would trigger any girl’s eating disorder.

(3) However, anyone who doesn’t appreciate the effort of an all-haiku recap? DEAD to me. (No, not really.) Next week I’m thinking iambic pentameter.

(4) It’s almost a week later, and TWOP hasn’t gotten past the “recaplet” stage. (Yes, you’re right, I am addicted to that site. But why can’t they post the recaps for “ANTM” and “Ugly Betty” on *my* timetable, not theirs? *They* get paid for it!)

Sorry, I was having a grumpy day. Hate that I snarked at you, I’m probably just jealous and wish I had you job. If I did have you job I’d probably hate it because honestly how much of this crap can you take and then try to stay interested.

Sorry again.

You get paid for this? This show is full of killer comedy for anyone who knows how to use it...I know you read TWOP, just wait until next week and you'll see what you SHOULD have written.

Bet people are lining up for your job.
