bbc america-ed

am i turning into madonna? a total brit-phile who can't bear to consume television that doesn't have a posh accent?

gobsmacked. bloody.

that's brilliant...lovely...

i've recently uk-ified my dvr settings and have been consuming bbc america tv shows like they're going out of stye.

some of my favs include gordon ramsay's (pictured here) "kitchen nightmares" a look into the most disfunctional family businesses that often serve as large-scale incubators of e. coli and other forms of unsavory bacterias, "you are what you eat" a crazy nutritionists vehicle for banishing rotten poo and refined sugars, and "how clean is your house" a voyeuristic view into the most slobbish packrats of britain that often require serious psychological intervention.

what has gotten into me?

Three dollars' worth of that bathroom Polo

If, in an alternative world, Aging Cowgirl were a highly successful country act, she would definitely cover Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats".

My favorite part of the lyrics:

Right now, she's probably up singing some
white-trash version of Shania karaoke
Right now, she's probably saying "I'm drunk"
and he's a thinking that he's gonna get lucky,
Right now, he's probably dabbing on 3 dollars' worth of that bathroom Polo
And he don't know

That I dug my key into the side of his pretty little souped up 4 wheel drive,
carved my name into his leather seats,
I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights,
slashed a hole in all 4 tires
Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats.

I might've saved a little trouble for the next girl,
Cause the next time that he cheats

Oh, you know it won't be on me

*She looks a little like Britney, pre-meltdown, here, doesn't she?

Happy New Year!!

Hope 2008 is a happy, frilly, thrilly year for all of you!
