I’m watching the Steeler game which, in the snow, looks like someone shook a snow globe and shoved a football game into it. While it’s half time, I thought I’d don my ever-so-no-flattering referee jersey and lay out a few penalties. Really, vertical stripes? With breasts? NOT a good fashion choice.
But anyway. 15 yard penalty and a royal spanking to TMZ.com for the idea that Fabio is looking good for “the seven women and one man out there still buying romance novels.” Yeah. Seven million.
And an additional roughing the kicker call against TMZ for being completely and obviously jealous. Come on now. Hair aside, that man looks damn good for 49.

And IO9, once again, lands on the penalty list. Five yards for delay of game for the following comment in their Twilight review:
That Twilight the movie makes such little effort to convince with the quasi-vamp mythology shows that it understands its target audience - but also that, ultimately, it doesn’t care enough about those who haven’t read the books to offer up anything more than a Harlequin Romance bodice-ripper dressed up for a superhero audience.
Bodice ripper Harlequin? That’s like my saying that fantasy and scifi are the same, and both are equally stupid. Bad, IO9, Bad.
A website that reviews romance novels from a couple of smart bitches who will always give it to you straight. No bullshit. No gushing--unless the author really deserves it.
I was interested in this movie until I started seeing trailers. I keep expecting Edward to break out a little Right Said Fred.

Sometimes I’m reluctant to admit that I read romance, because of the stereotype (and my own horrible, horrible early experiences with some titles).
But I am a kajillion times more likely to admit to being a romance fan…

The TMZ thing I understand since watching a show they did this week that had an interview with Paul Anka..... except the children who work in the editing room didn’t know who he was. Even Harvey Levin was shaking his…

I am watching the cricket and we’re loosing! :(
Have tried watching football a few times-but is just beyond me and they have so many clothes on!

(I would have suggested “Romance For Dummies” but a gift like that--while possibly appropriate--would probably be in bad taste, given the circumstances).
LOL. Yeah, in that case. But hey, that’s an awesome book. That’s where I learned my romance…
