Poe Cooks Reality: Eggplant Parmigiana from Food Network’s “Best Thing…”
While it’s generally well known that I have a very handsome in-house personal-chef-for-life, I too, can combine raw ingredients into something passably edible. Or, at least not poisonous. (I just scoured this website for a picture of me cooking and found nothing. NOTHING. I was sure there was a picture of me stirring a pot…

Totally Random Search Terms – October Edition
Way back in the day, when thePoeLog was just a tiny little sentence fetus and Google played nicely with WordPress, we had a semi-regular feature called “Totally Random Search Terms that Brought Someone to thePoeLog.” This was inspired by a feature on WordPress that rounded up terms used in search engines like Yahoo, Google and…

The Lashes May Be Mink, But the Faux Fur Drama Was Flying on Vanderpump Rules
There was some sort of really big thing going down here in Washington D.C. last night. Actually, it was a national event, full of backstabbing and upsets. It included a cast of familiar, soul-less characters who act like friends one minute, only to turn around and do something shady the next. There was even a…

Reality TV Time: Euros of Hollywood
During the last year that this blog has been dormant (almost one year to the day!), I’ve been on some fabulous trips that I have just been dying to talk/write about. I can’t tell you, gentle reader, how many times I’ve been witness to something and thought: Man, this would be great for the blog.…

Paternity Court, It’s Time to Get Tested!*
Ladies with bad taste in men, rejoice. A new show is heading to a TV screen near you, determined to uncover the truth. My friend Caroline made me aware of this show, which is, as the fine New York Daily News reports: “Paternity Court” is a new syndicated show on which people take DNA tests…

Reality TV Time: To the (Myrtle) Manor Born
I grew up in trailer parks. Made friends at fine “semi-permanent establishments” in Arkansas, ran wild in “land lease communities” in Missouri, gotten in fist fights in “mobile communities” all over Texas. But none of those temporal estates were as nice as the five-star Myrtle Manor on TLC’s seminal ode to the cheapest form of…

Lies I Ain’t Believing: Ray J’s “I Hit It First”
The cruel winter mistress has loosened her death grip on the DC region and allowed us all to thaw out for a minute. Rather than go outside this evening for a run, or go and get a much-needed pedicure, I’m sitting inside the house typing up this blog post. OK let’s be real: I’ll take…

I Want All My Babies’ Mamas
I am hopping mad, y’all. Madder than a cat on bath day. Our civil liberties as citizens of this fine nation are under attack. Our constitutional rights are being trod upon. And no, I’m not talking about efforts to rein in assault rifles. I’m talking about the premature cancellation of this fine bit of television…

Reality TV Roundup: Bad Dates, Old Ladies, and Staying Away from Veal
My adult supervisor XFE is out of town again this week, which means I’m left (mostly) to my own devices. I say “mostly” because XFE has kinda got things on lockdown. For example, he recently bought this fancy-schmancy thermostat for the house called The Nest. I know. It sounds like some horror movie involving some…

Real Housewives Vacation Packing List
Our trip to Costa Rica is only a couple of weeks away, so, of course, I’ve begun obsessing over what to pack. Usually, beach vacations are pretty easy to pack for. But, then I saw the Real Housewives of Orange County on their trip to Costa Rica and much like Gretchen, I’m now having a…
