wake up girl, don't be a daydreamer

Is "The Bridge" the greatest show ever? Yes, it is. They just played "Sally Got a One-Track Mind." I live.

Speaking of — and I know I say this constantly, but ... — you really need to listen to the Gay Pimp podcast. This week's episode is wonderful but last week's was a revelation in high-concept genius. Jonny McGovern described his magical gay wedding featuring Martha Wash in a wedding dress and Aretha Franklin and Jonny's intended duetting on "Knew You Were Waiting For Me" as they walk down the aisle (seriously, if that doesn't get you to support same-sex marriage, I don't know what will).

Then it got better. How? I'm not sure I can even explain, but talk of Britney's "I'm country!" led to Linda James, I believe, saying "that went out with 'Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer' " (that's one of the most amazing things ever said, clearly), which turned into Britney singing "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" and then an anti-paparazzi Christmas album and then and then and then — by the end, Nick Lachey was dating Mrs. Claus. It was like a dream, really.

Oh, "The Bridge." Again. Another thing I love about it is the little "411" boxes that pop up. For example, "Though the Young Black Teenagers claimed their group name was simply a tribute to the black culture they loved and identified with, many found it ridiculous and/or offensive." Ahahaha! Indeed.

Here's a place to watch some more videos. Why? Because I love you.
