exitstrategy

I know I promised to write every day, but I just haven’t been inspired lately.  I watched the oscars and they were great (except by husband Adrian looked freaky), but no surprises.  Jay Emmanual, as expected, was wearing a ridiculous white tuxedo and picked the ugliest dresses for best dressed (Freida Pinto (hated it), Amy Adams (hated it) and Miley Cyrus (really hated it)).  The only surprise was the look on Sophia Lauren’s face - not that she was surprised but her face was so full of botolism that it was in a state of perpetual shock, and what was with the ice-skaters outfit?  I mean it was a great show and I tied for the winner of the oscar pool, but all in all I didn’t find any inspiration in my old standby.Then, there was Women Tell All last night.  I mean that show is a guarantee to spark the bloggin’ juices flowing (hmm, that sounds way grosser than creative juices).  But last night was boring.  They spent three-quarters of it focusing on the lame girls who were voted off in the beginning.  I mean that blonde chick from Chicago was clearly ridiculous - but who cares what happened between her and the really ugly one (blanking on her name but she was wearing a green dress) behind the scenes.  And, how many times can they show the “hilarious” outtake where Jason and Molly were in the hottub and the drain sounded like farts.  I would say about three too many.  But, there is really nothing else to say about that.  Although I am anxiously anticipating next week, since Chris has promised it to be “the most shocking in Bachelor history.”  (But, I am pretty sure he billed the women tell as the most shocking in bachelor history, which apparently meant the most shocking with farty sounds?).  I take it back - there is one thing I want to say about the episode.  It is this: Trista and Ryan cannot be featured on any more bachelor or bachelorette episodes.  It is just WAY TOO PATHETIC.  Just because ABC purchased the rights to their marriage and their children (ensuring that they stay together until the franchise ends) does not mean we need to hear them talk on and on about how in love they are, or there insights for finding “true love.”   But, for the most part I am uninspired these days.  I took two cab rides today alone, but all I got was overcharged.   Perhaps it is because I worked from home today.  I was not exposed to my usual source of inspiration.  And then I was reminded of a conversation I had friday night with a friend, over steamed chicken and ricotta creme (south beach specialties).  ”Fat Spinsta, you should appreciate your job because without it you would not have anything to write about/complain about.”  ”I don’t just complain.  I comment on social issues, political issues, health issues, reality television issues.”  ”Oh right.   I forgot.” It’s true.  Spinsta’s glass is half empty.  So, this week I will read the news and blog about issues (or at least issues affecting people beyond just myself).  I mean I am sure there is a lot I can learn about Octomom, and Burris, and the stimulus plan, and other stuff.  Please let Spinsta know if there are any issues you would like discussed.  The reader with the best idea will win the chance to ghost-blog, an honor that means you will one day (in the year 2024) be entitled to a fraction of a penny.  Let the games begin . . .
