I haven't been watching "The Real Wold: Austin" but I was flipping channels and saw the scene where Danny found out that his mother had died... and he started crying uncontrollably and fell into Nehemiah's arms. Ohhh, that was very moving (totally brought me back to when Denny died in May). Danny's poisnant quote (paraphrased) which perfectly illustrates the grief felt when a loved-one dies: "everyone wants to be there for you and talk to you, but the only person you want to talk to is the one person you can't talk to anymore." I might have to start watching this season.

And speaking of MTV series, Philip and I watched the first episode of "Trailer Fabulous" and thoroughly enjoyed it! Maybe it's our white-trash roots? Maybe it's that adorable singer-turned-host, Brooks Buford?

Philip and I also hung up the new curtains in our freshly-painted bedroom tonight. We're getting closer and closer to the renovation-finish-line!

Jon Stewart (from "The Daily Show") is so fuckin' brilliant. I wish he was the president. Bill Maher could be his vice-president?
