As a little side-note to Maddie’s little tantrum about getting a new
computer, you don't need an entirely new computer just to get a DVD
drive. It's a COMPONENT, like a VCR or cable box -- you don't buy a
new TV or change your cable/satellite service when you want better
recording technology, you just buy a new VCR or Tivo for what you
need and plug it into your existing equipment and service. If you
can’t figure out how to connect it, you call in the local geek to do
it for you – there are plenty of us around who LOVE to do shit like that :-)
Once again, Babe makes a BAD decision regarding child custody.
She's worried about the baby’s wellbeing so she creeps onto the
estate (the Chandler PATIO) to talk to Stuart and get him to check
on the baby. Apparently she's never heard of a telephone. I think
that, deep down, she really WANTS to have all her parental rights
completely terminated – there’s really not other explanation for her
REPEATED stupidity when it comes to breaking the rules on visitation
(other than brain damage).

And THEN Babe declares that she's not leaving her baby there at the
house with Di and attempts to go get the baby. GAWD she is STUPID!
She ranks right up there with Dixie in the STUPID department. She
has the attention span of a cat in room full of mice on crack!
Between the Ladies Room scene and Maria's CONSTANT gulping of
wine/champagne, every time I look at her, all I can think of is that
she must REALLY have to pee by now :-) Then Brooke tried to hand
her that HUGE cup trophy and I wondered if Maria was going to barf
into it. Apparently she has better control of, um, output than *I*
would after drinking that much. OTOH, *I* know how to buy and
install a DVD-recorder!
I have to say I enjoy a drunken and edgy Maria much more than a
sober one.
