These Bitches Are Stone Cold Crazy

First of all, it’s the twelfth season or something. How are these girls still shocked about the “awkward” nature of having to compete for one man with eight women you also live with? Then again, Andy seems to enjoy their drama and be too stupid to not take them seriously. He’s a fan of the high maintenance gal, that much is clear. And he kind of is one of them, with the rumor solicitation and spreading that he’s doing. I hope to God it’s just his way of adding entertainment to his own day. When not gossiping and making out in the hot tub, he’s off looking for some sad, depressed or just “not herself” a women so he can come to the rescue. On the plus side, these girls are totally awesome. Catty, bitchy and with little to no self esteem. Brilliant television. Or rather, brilliant crappy bachelor.

And for the record – Bevin is a drama queen, Kate is a spiteful child, Stephanie Kansas is opportunistic, Amber is young and too insecure, and Stephanie South Carolina is a stuck up ugly bitch who wore a totally whore-ish dress and looked ridiculous. And did she just pull a “stupid jealous girls…story of my lfie?” Love it!

Oh wait – one more thing! “There are all kinds of rumors going around about what we did last night, they are saying we did the worst thing we could possibly do!” And she’s not talking about torturing a small child, back door action or not recycling. I think she’s talking about doing IT! God this season is more junior high than anything I’ve ever seen.

Two Hours That Seems Like Ten

When I saw that Josh Charles of Sports Night was starring in "A Well Appointed Room" at Steppenwolf, I thought, why not? I liked Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead as much as the next girl, let's do it.

Let me be an example to you, my friend. Just because someone was once in a society of dead poets does not mean that everything they do will turn to Robin Williams-esque gold. The two hours spent at this play were among the longest of my life. Josh Charles was better than anyone else in it, and that is not really the compliment it sounds. Overacting abounded, and the writing was a joke -- no one talks like this. I was going to write all the things I'd rather do than sit through this play again, but truthfully -- name it.

The only good part was that we had a minor celebrity sighting -- in the audience were two people from Prison Break, Robin Tunney and the bad guy. 

We also had a lovely dinner at Trattoria Gianni right across from the theater, so if you ever go to a show at Steppenwolf (not this one -- I've warned you), eat there.
