commenting on comments about a reality show (is a totally valid thing to do)

When she's not busy executive producing reality competition shows with notably repetitive names, Sarah Jessica Parker sometimes pops up on Watch What Happens Live and makes everything happy with her precisely chosen words and (almost painfully long pause) effervescence.  

I got a kick out of her description of Dana's game night dessert spread, with the four bread sticks arranged in a "lattice" fashion to convey a sense of, perhaps, countless bread sticks.  She was right, too, about how it was an almost darkly absurd episode. There was all this "ramping up," with over-sized chocolate chess pieces (an homage to the concept of games!) and "What does one wear to game night?" and ceremoniously moving to a second location so they could...play Celebrity. Um, stodgy* much, ladies?

Also, I loved that she said she doesn't use Twitter because she doesn't have the "constitution" for it. Me too, SJP. Me, too.

Lastly, I was really pleased that Andy mentioned the ridiculously talented artist David Gilmore and his website Pretty On The Outside which I've been enjoying for years. Andy likes something I like! (I'm part of things?!) (no.)

*Just found out that "stodgy" means "Heavy, filling, and high in carbohydrates" in addition to "Dull and uninspired." Awesome! I'm more excited about this than almost anything that happened on RHOBH last night. Oh, except for when the Richards sisters pointed and snarled in unison.  Perfection.
