Just discovered that the Hallmark channel is airing Facts of Life twice a day every weekday. It's so cheesy, but it was one of my absolute favorites as a kid. I was watching the show when I stupidly decided to play around with a mop sitting in a bucket of liquid. I put it up in the air, squeezed it, and the bleach or whatever came down into my eyes, nearly blinding me, so said the doctors in the hospital I was rushed to.



So, yeah, Facts of Life was the shit, along with Punky Brewster and, above all, Bionic Woman. If only they'd bring that show back. Jaime Summers was my first crush.



Oh, and did you know Lisa Welchel, who played Blair, has a website with a journal? She's quite the Christian stay-at-home mom now.

Who says there's nothing good on TV on Sundays? USA has "Can't Hardly Wait," the teen movie of my graduating class, followed by "10 Things I Hate About You."



What more could a teenybopper ask for?

A tip for those who want to try making homemade fried chicken: Don't.

Still diggin American Idol, but, really, are any of the male contestants straight? And why are the guys so completely inferior to the girls? Sigh.

The peeling has started! THE PEELING HAS STARTED. Two-tone face.



If I have to go through the irritation of a burn, I'd at least like to keep the tan.

Hey, MGM Studios.



Next time you feel like throwing tens of millions of dollars down the drain, why don't you just give it to someone needy, like me? It'll save you the embarrassment.

My face, my face, my face is on fire. I don't need no sunscreen, let the motherfucker burn!



Really, though, it hurts. And it doesn't look red enough to hurt like this. My neck is the real problem.



The annoying thing is Saturday night at dinner (I think) I was talking about the time I went to a tennis match without putting on any suntan lotion and by the end of the day the tops of my knees and my neck were bright red. Nothing else. Just the knees and neck. That was so fucking painful.



I just hope my face doesn't peel off in chunks. That's not a hot look.
