louise on the left (coast)

Okay, it's almost done, these recaps of this show that I, so foolishly, committed myself to doing. But, here it is...My second to last recap of this Showtime series: Okay, so Eric and his crew are in Denver , this time, in order for Eric to have his "first date" with a yoga instructor there who he had high hopes about. Here's the thing. Why didn't they know this would be a bust? It was obviously not gonna work from the start. That's a lot of driving to waste on something inevitably that isn't going to end up butterflies and roses, you know? To begin with in the first 30 seconds of the show we hear the date "Lauren" (from Colorado) tell us proudly, "I love Jesus. I believe in the Bible and so I live my life based on the principles that I find there." So, then good old 'Em quickly pounds Lauren with a gunshot of a query: "Given that you're a Jesus lover and believe in God how does Eric's sort-of homosexual tendencies ...

Okay, so I guess I might as well resign myself to the fact that I'm planning to write my own " un -review" for each segment in Season Two of "I Can't Believe I'm Still Single...Portland to Portland." Why? Because nobody else is, and I'm getting hits on this subject, that's why. Question: Why is Season Two still being called "I Can't Believe... Portland to Portland " when I have yet to hear of either city in any segment this season? So, here's my spin on Episode 4, when Eric meets Allison from Vermont . At the opening of the episode, Allison's friend voiced concern that she does not want people to refer to Allison's date as "the big girl date." Point noted. Not a problem. She was full figured, but also totally gorgeous, and cool. But, I'm going to bet that for Mr. Seeking Ms. Perfect, that deep down he may still have an issue with what he may view as non-perfection due to his known food-control issues...

Wow. He's back. And the journey lives on, just like The Iliad, or Don Quixote or Popeye. I was amazed he had a Season One, but turns out I'm not the only voyeur who loves to hate Eric Schaeffer , so now, there's a Season Two. Apparently Gawker shares my incredulity, as well . So, since I last saw Mr. Schaeffer ( previous post regarding the conclusion of "I Can't Believe I'm Still Single," Part One .), unemployment hit record numbers, Circuit City bit the dust, however Eric Schaeffer managed to survive the recession to open yet one more big ole' can of fat-ass on more astonishingly naive (read: dumb) women for his second round of "I Can't Believe I'm Still Single, Part Two" on Showtime. Go figure. More proof that Hollywood thrives during our national disasters. BTW. I love women. More than Schaeffer does. I just have to smack my forehead when I see them show up for filming all dewy-eyed and vulnerable knowing that he wil...
