Firstly, I saw Musso last night and I can't express how wonderful it is to see a familiar face! We watched the England v Sweden football (ahem, soccer..?) game at a pub near my apartment. Good times! It's a pretty adequate replacement for the Red Sox Nation madness that I miss so dearly. Didn't get to spend a whole lot of time with her but 'tis ok since I will be flying off to the French Riviera midweek like the socialite who spends her days dedicated to volunteering and her nights to partying like I wish to do someday........ ;)
Secondly, I suppose I should fill you all in on my television debut! Ha... So if you're keeping up with my blogs (as you should be! heh) you'll know that my catering job has brought me to a new level - I'm a waitress on the set of Gordon Ramsay's show here in the UK, "The F Word." You may remember him as the yelling & screaming jerk of a chef from Hell's Kitchen which was pretty popular, apparently. So the premise of the show: vaguely a reality series in which a group of 4 amateur "chefs" (a.k.a. completely ordinary people) are thrown into the kitchen with Gordon with the task of preparing a 3-course meal with his stern instruction for a "studio audience" (a.k.a. the people in the restaurant whom I serve).
On Monday, my first day, it was a group of Oxford University students cooking. I have to stand at "the pass" which is where they put the plates up, ready to go, and Gordon approves of them, tells the "service" where to take them, and yells "GO!" The poor kids weren't doing so hot and he was chewing them up quite a bit. He even made the one girl of the group shed some tears during the main course. Anyhow, I am proud to say that he only told me to F off once; he was speaking to us as a group because apparently one half of a second is too long of a delay between "Go!" and when we actually put our hands on the plates to take them away.
Today went a bit smoother, and tomorrow is the last day of filming. This week, I am simply filling in for an old waitress from the show who decided to leave for one reason or another (rumor: Gordon made her cry & she couldn't handle the pressure anymore)..... The show is on here in the UK but I don't know if they'll end up showing it in the States. They don't have to censor it here, even on national prime time television... they'd have to do quite a bit of censoring with all the F-bomb dropping that man does, so I don't know if it'd ever make it to the states. Ironically enough, I don't own a television so I'm not sure if I'll ever see it/see myself on TV. Will do my best though! Also, my sister sort of put this idea into my head of being "discovered" (for what, I'm not sure, being a great waitress??) and I started fantasizing about being a fabulous D-list reality show celebrity. I could enjoy that. Hhahahaha....
Ok I can now hear Adam making fun of me for writing a novel so I'll stop. Hope everyone is well and kicking ass. Please send details. Miss yaz!

hilarious. You know your television career REALLY started with "Drunken Montage"...I'm sure they noticed your exquisite talents when you said "I'm not a drunk, I'm a wine-o!"

Are you kidding? That was a defining moment of the new millenium, everyone knows that. I've been on those VH1 countdowns and everything - "101 Most Thought Provoking Statements by D-List Celebrities in the New Millenium" or something. What I meant to say is that "The F Word" is my sophomore appearance. A "comeback" of sorts. (Sigh) Someone get me some sparkling water and a foot rub, damnit!
My goal for this summer was to re-read some old classic novels. Needless to say, this is more entertaining. Way to go Stacy. Move over Giada?
