SURVIVOR SPOILERS IN THIS SECTION.
Okay, Andrew, love ya lots, but get over yourself. You really pissed me off with the way you opted to vote Lillian off instead of Darrah, despite the fact that Lillian worked her ass off and Darrah did nothing but sit on hers. Also, when Lillian asked you to let her know what you’d decided, did you? Not so much. What a shocker that Lillian would decide to vote your ass off. Buh-bye! Oh, and also? When you were standing by the fire with Lillian and saying “Well, YOU aren’t going anywhere next tribal council, it will be one of US, because YOU are immune!”, I was hoping like hell that Lillian would smile and say “Yeah. SUCKS to be you, doesn’t it??” or “To tell the truth, Andrew, I’d like to see YOU go.” But Lillian held her tongue.
I love the fact that she came back and fucked Andrew over, although I’ll admit that I for some reason find her a tad creepy.
I think Rupert takes himself a little seriously, by the way. But I love him. I can’t help myself!
I think the girls should gang up and vote off all the guys, really. But then, I always think that. Heh.
Did Mush Mouth say a single word last night? I sure do miss her melodic voice.

In lieu of a real entry, I’m going to fall back on a survey thingy which I have stolen from the lovely
Athena, who stole it from someone else, so that I can declare this entry finished and go snuggle on the couch with the Bean and Stephen King. Fair enough?
A: Actor. Oh, let’s say
Christopher Meloni. We’ve seen a great deal of the Meloni penis lately while watching
Oz, and any actor who’s willing to show his penis that frequently and also lay the serious liplock on another guy every now and then is aces with me.
B: Boyhood Idols. (How about a girlhood idol?) Jamie Sommers. Also known as
The Bionic Woman.
C: Chore You Hate. Just about all of them, but I reserve a special hatred for vacuuming the stairs, because they look crappy before I vacuum and they still look crappy after I finish. Damn carpeted stairs. I swear, with god as my witness, I will never! have carpeted stairs! ever again!
D: Dad’s Name. Marvin. But I won’t tell you his nickname. Sorry, stalkers!
E: Essential Video In Collection. When Harry Met Sally.
F: Favorite Actress. I don’t really have a favorite. Let’s say that cute little
Amber Tamblyn, aka
Joan of Arcadia. Interesting (though “interesting” may be overstating it a tad) bit of trivia – Amber’s father Russ played Dr. Lawrence Jacoby in
Twin Peaks. The first time I saw her last name, I wondered if they were related. Yes, I’m a dork.
G: Gold or Silver. I almost never wear jewelry, but I have no particular preference for either gold or silver. My wedding band and engagement ring are gold.
H: Hometown. Lisb0n Falls, Maine.
I: Instruments Played. None. Well, I played the guitar for a few months when I was 10 or so. I actually learned all the chords to play “Take me Home, Country Roads”, and it sounded a lot like:
strum, strum, strum (long pause while changing chords) strum, strum, strum (long pause), etc. Speaking of that song, here’s a story to showcase my dorkiness. When I was 5 and we lived in Michigan, I had a friend named Candy Rhodes. I assumed the song “Take me Home, Country Roads” was written about her father. You know, her father. Country Rhodes. I am a dumbass of long standing, it appears.
J: Job Title. Professional Ass Sitter. I’m sure
Marty “Asswipe” Nemko would not approve. I sure do wish he was MY therapist.
K: Kids. One. The spud. She’s 15. We’re thinking of locking her away ’til she’s 31, ’cause we’re not ready for the boys-and-dating thing.
L: Living Arrangements. One house, one husband, one kid, five obnoxious cats, many annoying neighbors.
M: Mom’s Name. Brenda.
N: Number People Slept With. Less than 1,000.
O: Overnight Hospital Stays. Oh, let me think. Tonsils out (1), tumor removed from knee (2), c-section (3). I think that’s it for overnight stays.
P: Phobia. The phone. Eek!
Q: Quote You Like. All you motherfuckers are gonna pay. You are the ones who are the ball-lickers. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
R: Religious Affiliation. Born and raised Protestant.
S: Siblings. Older brothers: Tracy and Randy. Younger sister: Debbie.
T: Time You Wake Up. 7:00 on days that I have something to do (feed the pet store kitties, for example), 8:00 – 8:15 on days that I don’t.
U: Unique Habit. When I’m really into what I’m reading I do this thing where I twitch my lower lip back and forth. Also, I twitch my feet in time to my lip.
V: Vegetable You Refuse To Eat. Brussels sprouts. I also refuse to eat Collard Greens.
W: Worst Habit. Probably chomping on my gum.
X: X-rays Taken. Oh, I had a ton taken of my knee before they operated on it. Other than that, nothing comes to mind.
Y: Yummy Food You Make. Chicken and rice casserole,
Unfried Chicken,
Sweet Potato Crack.
Z: Zodiac Sign. Capricorn.

The Bean, just before he leapt for the toy mouse in Fred’s hand.
In mid-leap, with the mouse in his front paws.
Miz Poo disapproves of the horseplay.]]>
Miz Poo doesn’t like Fred taking the attention of her boy toy! Look out Fred, Miz Poo is stalking you! LOL!
I LOVE that pissed off cat look!
Ha…did ya see Jon…SO funny. At tribal council, he’s all happy that Savage is gettin’ all the votes, and then Jeff started readin’ off his name and he’s all depressed.
I wish he had gone. They didn’t really need to vote savage out first. He is too emaciated to win immunity anyways. Shoulda got rid of Jon, he’s gotten all cocky again!
Amber’s dad Russ also was in the movie West Side Story, one of the main characters I think!
Ahem. YOU JUST STOP DISSIN MY BOYFRIEND ANDREW. Sob. On The Early Show he said that he did tell Lil she was getting voted out, and that in fact, she left firewood for them because she knew she was going! Apologize! Now!
Heh. I think about writing more about Survivor, then I come here and read pretty much exactly what I would have written, so I think, why bother? lol… Totally agree- I wish they woulda gotta rid of Jon though- wassup with the peace sign he makes during the voting? FREAK. Seriously, I don’t even love to hate him, I just hate him- and Lil freaks me out a bit too.
As for cats- love em’ but don’t really get into them too much, but your pics of Miz Poo never fail to make me snicker- and if you knew me, you would know I rarely “snicker”.. oh, whatever. By the way, I am pretty sure my obnoxious “stalker, rude emailer, constant annoying poster” is Jackie too. What? She doesn’t like witty, gorgeous women? Hmm…
Oh I SO agree with Santana about Jon! How can they all stand to live with him? I can hardly take the one hour a week that I have to spend with his obnoxious ass! ugh! Funny how the other tribe members who haven’t spent much time with him already have him figured out. Next week, next week, next week…
Sweet Potato Crack. I made it and it turned out more like Sweet Potato Crap. Can you please enlighten? I’m sure I did something wrong. How did you prepare it Robyn?
You know, if the kids end up bad, its mom’s fault because she worked all day, sat the kid in front of the tv, and fed him/her fast food because she never cooked. – But – if she does stay home, she’s a selfish shrew who lives on bon-bons and takes all her husband’s money.
Hey Marty, way to stereotype and demonize an entire gender. Now all you women, stop reading this and get your butts to work, and dont let my supper be late, my dishes unwashed or my clothes unlaundered because you know that takes all of 10 minutes, you lazy bitches!!
“How fucking much is that goddamn bread?” God, I’ll be laughing for the rest of the afternoon. I love the “year ago” teasers as much as the entries.
MMMMM… I loves me some Christopher Meloni!
Just a comment for Marty…I stayed home from the time my first child was born until my youngest was in 8th grade. In the meantime, I obtained two college degrees and now work 40-50 hours a week. During our peak season I work 60. Both my kids are nearly finished with college, one was even accepted to Georgetown. They are great kids and, here’s the clincher…my husband has been a HIGH SCHOOL MATH TEACHER the whole time. So much for Marty’s stereotypical assessments of people. If we all cared more about keeping those we love happy, everyone would benefit and wouldn’t need to go to the Marties of the world for advice. So there!
I have to admit, Andrew won me over holding all that weight during that one challenge, and I was sad to see him go. Lil is a confused cocker spaniel puppy. And a SELL-OUT!
That disapproving look on Miz Poo’s face is hysterical! Love the Poo. And the Bean! Look at that little poochy belly he’s getting!
“selfish shrew”… me like it! Anyone else want a shirt with that on it?
Russ Tamblyn played Riff, the leader of the Jets, in the movie “West Side Story”. “When you’re a Jet you’re a Jet all the way from your first cigarette to your last dyin’ day”
Dancin’ Dancin’ Dancin’! Stanley’s a Dancin’ Machine 🙂 Have a great weekend!!
SURVIVOR:
With two of the outcasts coming back i really wondered how they would handle the new game. When Burton came back he was _GLAD_ to be back.
Lil, on the other hand, is Ms. SourPuss-I-Have-A-Stick-Up-My-Ass-And-Boy-Is-It-Ever-Fucking-BIG doesn’t seem to be winning herself any popularity contests by the way she came back. If she hadn’t had immunity for the first tribal council, i really do wonder how many of her old tribe would have voted her right back out. I honestly don’t see her staying there for very long again since she can’t seem to get over herself and her anger. So they voted you out, you’re back in! GET RID OF THE MISS PRISS POUTING FACE ALREADY!
I really hope that Rupert wins though, he’s one of the only ones who seems to have any idea how to really play this game. I was sad to see that he didn’t win the immunity — but a hell of a lot more glad that Burton gave it back to him, and seemed glad to do it. Woot!
Robyn, thank you so much for the reality show “spoilers”. They give me the opportunity to skip the ONLY uninteresting parts of your entries.
My daughter tells me I don’t like reality shows because I’m “old”. Not true–I don’t like them because they are frauds. Anyway, I love your journal entries and the kitty pictures. :-} I’m also pleased that someone else (you)twitches her foot while reading. Again my daughter makes fun of me when I do that. Daughters ought to be tied and gagged until they reach 50 years of age. Mine is 44 now; going on 12.
Ok, I am not even a stay at home mom (nor have I been) and I feel like punching Marty in the head. You know, for a therapist, he doesn’t seem to have much of a clue, or is that CLUE? 🙂
That friggin little shitbox Jon has GOT to go!!! What a rotten little shit he is- I don’t love to hate him- I just hate him. Why have they Kept him around- He needs a smackdown!
Love the Bean- Love the Poo!

Oops- didn’t mean to post twice- a twitchy finger! Sorry!
I fell in love with Russ Tamblyn the first time I watched “7 Brides for 7 Brothers” — his Gideon was just the cutest thing! And boy could he dance!
When I found out the name of that Quartermaine girl in the new Joan of Arcadia show — I immediately looked her up on the internet to find out if there was a relationship. I was thrilled to find out she was Russ’s daughter and watch the show just for that reason. I am pretty sure I am a HUGE dork, but a happy one!
MIZ POO

RICHARD GREAT CAT PICTURRS ROBYN
HI! I’m in Phoenix. It’s hot. Heh.
Hmmm…that Marty guy is ALL ASS.
Heh….love the beanie bean and of course..miz poo!
THANK YOU, OH THANK YOU for posting the link to the SWEET POTATO CRACK recipe. Who would believe that something so simple to make would be so good! I would never have come up with putting (I used 3 cloves) minced garlic, a few shakes of thyme, and salt and pepper on plain ole sweet potatoes. And they turn out so sweet! The trick is cooking them slowly, so they caramelize on the bottom. I have a new favorite.
Love the kitty pics!!
Miz Poo’s pic can be described only in one word (well two) hoity toity!!!! I can almost hear her voice in a English accent, “My word but the new cat is such a twit!!”
Awww! Look at Bean’s beany belly in the pic of him jumping!
Awwww!
Is it just ME, in all my dorkiness, or did anybody else, after reading Robyn’s unique habit, try twitching their bottom lip back and forth, to visualize the habit? Oh, really? Just me? Heh. Go figure. I’m with ya on the dorkdom Robyn! :o)
My stairs aren’t carpeted, but I’m planning to have them done sometime this month, finances allowing. We have 4 cats, and having to sweep an entire cat’s worth of hair off of the stairs every day is just too much goddamn work.
