Pepper Mostly

All right, friends, that's a wrap! It's been a pleasure to snark with you all, as always. Have a great week, love you all, MWAH!

That's right Ari, you are so generous of spirit, you spend your whole selfless life caring for others! Excuse me while I die laughing.

Then she was all happy, telling them all that she had wonderful news that she was really excited to share with them, and all three of them jumped dead in her shit and made her feel terrible. A pox on the lot of them. I hope the all get bird flu.

Well, Brandon might whine and cry about how they left behind his back. "Its not fair!" But that's Brandon's problem. He characterizes Julia doing anything without asking his permission as "lying". He can't even see it. She should run. Her family will be here soon, she is able to work now, move somewhere with a Russian community and start over. She's still young, she'll find someone who'll treat her right.

Everything is about Betty and Ron. Just ask them.

Bini: Let me help you. Ari: Are you prepared to admit that you are a dirty cheater who broke my heart on purpose? Otherwise, I'll lug my own suitcase. Ari's looking forward to getting her son and really settling down to fucking up his life.

Oh cry me a river you whiny titty baby Brandon. You sound like you're still on the playground.

Brandon sounds like he's eight years old. "She cheated on me!" "And she took the last Jello!" "She went to the mall with her friends even though she wasn't supposed to!" He should be embarrassed. And they are HURT. She's just an ungrateful Soviet HOOR.

The most hilarious bit of that interaction was the "therapist" saying "it requires great communication and negotiation skills" and I snorted and said "well, that leaves Jasmine out, then" Oh Betty. You haven't changed a bit, I see. Julia, weeping, tries to tell you how she feels, and Betty snots that she's hurt by that. Fuck you Betty. Brandon doesn't want Julia's parents to come because how can he isolate her and diminish her if she has her family there? Brandon pouts "Even though I told her no, she did it anyway!" God I hate him. He doesn't support it because he is an asshole.

They don't have any kind of relationship, period. Josh likes to bang her sometimes, and Natalie wants him to put a ring on it, because she has absolutely no social skills. Brandon't been pouting since last week. Pouting hard.

YES. Its so boring. My mother will doze some, but she's up most of the time but her brain is like Swiss cheese so we can't talk, really. Sometimes she's fairly lucid, sometimes she's weepy, sometimes she's bratty, sometimes she's confused. I put something on the TV that I think she'll like (lately its Monty Don's garden shows, or Antiques Roadshow), and try to read. But I can't settle to anything because she might take a notion to walk around the house or I have to take her to the bathroom or fix her a cup of tea or a snack. It's exhausting. But boring. And she keeps the house so hot I can feel the moisture being leached out of my body. There is nothing there to eat and no ingredients. Wah wah wah. Thanks peeps, I needed that. Oh my God, you are still coping with vertigo? You poor thing, I hope the doctor can help. That is an ordeal. Leandro has no intention whatsoever of taking Ari back. She might want it, but he doesn't. Her behavior with him is embarrassing, I can feel his cringe right through the screen.

Ari is just a terrible, terrible person. She's always been terrible. Now she has to start all over! Find another foreign guy to tempt with a green card and browbeat, its more than flesh and blood can stand.

Something about a stopped clock or a blind squirrel, I think.

THIS is Ari trying to make her marriage work? Sweet Jesus.

I am crazy tired today, with no reason to be. I did three loads of laundry and cleaned the bathroom, read for a couple of hours and watched Karen Pirie (recommend it, by the way). I can only surmise that I'm so tired because Mom sitting just saps me. My routines are all thrown off and I don't eat right. At my age it takes forever to recover. First world problem, I know.
