How much do I love Desperate Housewives?! (The show, not like, actual housewives). I have to admit that I was flipping back and forth between Housewives and the Golden Globes tonight, mostly doing the flipping during the weird creepy quasi-romance storyline between Bree and her pharmacist guy (NOT interesting). But when Mike's shady past was brought back up again... whoa. Whaddaya mean he's "killed before?!" And who is that ex-girlfriend he's searching for? I think we're all 'spose to believe it's "Dana" or whoever, but wouldn't it be weird if Mike's supposedly dead ex-girlfriend was still alive... and one of the main characters... like Edie?! Totally random hypothesis, but just putting it out there. And as for Edie, who else let out a loud "AHH!" when she threw Mrs. Huber's ashes at Susan?! I've been coughing all weekend because I'm sick with a sore throat and cold but I'm pretty sure the two coughs I made during the scene were out of disgust and shock. Eww.

How much do I love black people?! They always have the BEST reactions... to like anything. But give them two new houses on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and they will scream like Emancipation all over again! It was SOOO touching to see how excited the family on tonight's episode was. I could really sense that they were truly grateful and in complete awe of what they were receiving. I don't think they've ever felt so rich and so blessed. It was sad in the beginning because the old mom said that she felt ashamed showing the TV cameras around her house because it was so run down and (for lack of a better word) ghetto. So when they opened up the doors to her new master bedroom and let her inside, she was so so excited. It was a wonderful feeling to share in, even if I was just sitting on my couch watching the events unfold on TV...

One thing though: How forced was the whole engagement and wedding bit? It was as if the ABC producers said, "We're building two houses? Well then they BEST be getting married and moving into them!" I mean, poor girl only got to wear her diamond engagement ring for like a day! She didn't even get to show it off! REEEE-FUND!
