    Elizabeth Gilbert: Eat, Pray, Love
    I have finished this book and found it over indulgent and not really all that interesting. I felt she missed the boat on many occassions. I know little about the author but this read like a clumsy first book to me. I could have done without the sex stuff, it added nothing and seemed creepy. I did not love any of the characters but felt like I really wanted to. It left me unsatisfied and not in a good way. (**)

Anthony Bourdain in Romania

Ok so the experience sucked. So what? I mean come on people, we dont watch No Reservations to get the gilded version, if we wanted that we would watch Samantha Brown. Will it keep me from visiting Romania? Of course not, the people who watch his show are intelligent enough to understand that shit happens. I don't know why the people of Romania need to be upset, I mean we have George Bush representing our country, how much more embarassing can it get?

By the way, I applaud the poor person who is stuck moderating that post, truly I do but two comments I made did not get published and the one that was got redlined into a mess of unrecognizable bad grammar and spelling. I am sure I can spell appalled. Really I am. I don't see why Tony can say fuck but I cannot say ass. I call foul.

Anthony Bourdain

Tonybourdain_2  I read a post over on Chez Pim about Tony and thought I would add my own Love Letter. I adore this man, not just because he is completely hot I mean Seriously Hot but also the way he gets right to it. You know if he has something to say it is how he genuinely feels.

Tony struck me first on Top Chef when he called Howie a son of a bitch after Howie quoted one of his books. That was when my crush began. I had seen an episode where he was eating some disgusting crap on a houseboat in Viet Nam maybe and thought gah, this dude is nasty. I thought he was probably someone that I would not enjoy but I did not get to see his personality.

My favorite episode has to be the one where he and his crew were trapped in Beirut. I have since downloaded all episodes of No Reservations to my iPhone. Even though he still hates my girl Rachel Ray, I think he is great.
