seas6reality: for my soul sistah ...

... who is out in vermont. shout out!!!

(inside joke: "oh, I had an ATM scam, now I can only get money from the bank, oh yeah, and you know the bay bridge is closed for three days, and it is a holiday weekend " ... *sniff*sniff* do I smell scam!)

although i'm still quite a bit behind on posting the seas6reality tv show sh**, i am reminded of the lovin' from harold's girl. so here y'go ...

yes, i know you can thank me later ...

just as you did for the m.rowe post and
as you did for the h.laurie video (that was in this post).

it's that time of (mid)-year ...

... so i decided to do a general 'google search' on

performance reviews

and here are the clips i have to offer.

(meanwhile, this reminded me a little about
what r|interns did back in SD - over here - the self-evaluation,
aka an-excuse-to-get-beer-and-or-dessert-and-or-wine) ...

a quickie, at first (over here) ...

and for my buddy, harold's girl - to help out with her crush on hugh, another perspective (over here) ...

and finally, black20's net_work version (over here)...

possibly a new cubeopolis metaquote -

"... the power feels good.
i feel like it's almost like
i can shoot lightning from my hands."

(and on a side- and more serious - note,
a WSJ article over here
titled "get rid of the performance review")

r|break: saturday eve fiber break (re)post-ish

... let me count the ways.

lots of pondering and activities going on back in february '09. and recently, continued pondering and more activities (life & stuff). all this pondering and this morning's simple, enjoyable morning chat and check-in with my friend, harold's girl, and restarting breakfast/brunch with gadget man reminded me of a post from a couple of months ago ... to which i've added more toward the end of this post.

r|break: pre-weekend fiber break...

... because harold's girl (aka jenm) and i **heart** the big bang theory, just a clip from this week's episode -

i wonder what this episode would be like
if dean iguana
(aka sacto floyd)
were sandwiched in between
sheldon and raj?! hmmmm?
>peace, bitches.

(smile) just what i needed ...

... this weekend.

thanks harold's girl (aka jenm) for the sweet reminder of our wonderful friendship.

just saying "thanks much!" ~ hugs & smooches to ya, jenm

r|break: saturday morn fiber break

this saturday morn's fiber break is a bit longer than usual (10 min of 25 facts about being hugh laurie), and it is dedicated to harold's girl (currently in 2nd place in tcfrivolity) over on the east coast (capital city: montpelier) ... link to video over here ('cuz one day, the video embedding will probably go away)

enjoy - and don't forget to (re)visit your other crush over here!
hugs to you, and "hi!" to bill n & the gals!

tc5: epi8 bgbgbgbhg-ing ...

blog hunting & gathering for epi8 ... and as mentioned in past posts, these are the places i poach for tcfrivolity fodder. ready - set - go!

the pack your crap and go! (thanks harold's girl) award for epi8 went to ... ariane motherhood (thanks dean iguana). now she can drink (and cook with) dr pepper in the sequester house with the other packed-crapped-peeps.

so what happened in epi8? ... let's go bhg-ing! and as i've mentioned before, when you visit the folks where blog hunting & gathering-ing is poaching, please consider posting a l'il comment or two! (lots of work and snark go into entertaining the tcfrivolity crew!) ...

• david dust's cock of the walk ... kicks off epi8-bhg! here are just a few tidbits from his recap - his entertainingly brilliant recap! a bit of snark here & there ...
  
  • on hosea about leah ... And by “buddy”, he means “that horny nympho who is all up on my jock but I’m too much of a wuss to hit it”.
  • During their preparation, most of the Cheftestants say some snobby chef crap about how they wouldn’t be caught DEAD using canned ingredients … blah, blah, blah. Get over it. You wouldn’t be caught dead drinking Diet Dr. Pepper either – but you monkeys sure jumped through that hoop last time, didn’t you?
  • the 3 teams conventional names also referred to as
    
    • lamb ... team mary and his little lambs
    • chicken ... team foghorn leghorn, team my cock is bigger than yours
      
    • pig ... team piggly wiggly, team porky pig
      
  • Everyone returns to the Stew Room and the judges discuss. Toby Young says some asinine thing about wanting to have unprotected sex when confronted by a nice piece of meat. But he is just so douchy that I can’t even appreciate this verbal gift that has been given to me. I know – Whatsamattayou?!?
• amuse-biatch ... known for photoessays and fun clips and quips - a l'il bit about ariane getting booted and her exit video (over here) and photoessay of jamie (over here).
• cliffie's down on the farm (or chicks and ducks and geese better scurry) ... comes equipped with a few monikers sprinkled about for the 3 teams
  
  • lamb ... team jersey baa, team siss boom baa
    
  • chicken ... team cluck
    
  • pig ... team oink-n-wink
    
  and his recap of the judge's table may help the tcfrivolity peeps who didn't finish the episode.
  
• blogging top chef ... as a few posts on epi8. a couple are winning/losing team (over here) and what tcfrivolity prize will NOT be (over here) unless tcfrivolity peep, jolli-E, races to the head of the pack.
• eric3000's animal farm (duh!) ... once again, dialogue and observations/narrative galore. a few picks here -
  
  • Padma: "And because Hung is the shortest Top Chef winner, you will have a very short amount of time to cook. That's how we worked him into the challenge."
  • The chefs are taken out into the country, where nobody will be able to hear their screams. They demonstrate all the special features in the sponsored car, like the cup holders, the sun shades, and the secret compartment for storing the bodies.
  • Stefan: "I'm the only pussy in the hen house. I'm a giant pussy. Pussy, pussy, pussy."
  • So Toby wants to have unprotected sex with a pig. Sounds like Tom Cruise is getting lucky!
• minx's epi8 recap over here ... with a bit of a preview yesterday over here (for which, if you read the comments, does the work photoshop mean anything to you?). so sit back, relax, and chuckle/smirk as you finish up your bhg with the minx. go-go-GO!
  

until next week's epi9!

tc5|break: what's dean iguana thinking?

let's take a little top chef(rivolity) break with some scatalogical-themed(?) thoughts, puns, ramblings, and then some while heading into tonight's episode 4 from a dean iguana ...

"Pack Your Crap and Go" (coined by harold's girl) sounds like part of a behind-the-scenes incident at the Glad Culinary Orgy House ...

Fabio: Heya Stefan, u still inna batharooma? U a finnish?

Stefan: No, you stupido italiano! I totally swede!

Fabio: Maybe that's a whatta your boyfriend said, but to me, you totally sour!

Stefan: O ya! You come in here and I show you how we do things in Iceland!

Fabio: No, you comma outta heeya, you European trashbag! I'm a gonna kiss a yo heada!

Padma: Stefan, since you took the longest time in the bathroom, please pack your crap and go.

Fabio: Padma, what a you knowa about a cooking? We think you a the enema of the people!

Stefan: Ha, good one Fabio, you stoopido dumbass! You pretty smart for an italiano!

Fabio: I lova this man! He's a likea a bald Bjorn Borg. I'm a gonna call him Stefan B-Cubed!

Carla: With crazy Euros in the house, can you really get it right?

Ariane: My goldfish thought I was qualified to be here, so here I am.

Hosea: Gawd I love the goose down pillows in this house. So comfy.

Leah: Those are pillows, you twat. Those are my airbags!

Jamie: Danny, your dropping crumbs all over my awesome soup.

Danny: Oh sorry, Lezbo Minelli.

And so the harmony continues...
