Reappearances, Revelations and Rudeness: The Week in Review! July 3, 2011

You know what I've noticed, RhyDin" When a night in the "ol RDI is hopping, it is hopping. It's almost like everyone in RhyDin gets some kind of memo that the RDI is the place to be some nights. But some other nights I swear to god watching foundation flake off Raye's face is more interesting. Is it so much to ask that some evenings we can't have a little middle ground" What else am I supposed to do with my weekends!

Rest assured, though, this past week had some really excellent highlights. So on that note, I'll forgive you.

I suppose I should start things off with the runner-up of the O.M.G. moment of the week. ISSY IS BACK! Issy: The one woman in RhyDin who can manually detach your jaw and look damn good doing it! The way I hear it she was spotted having a very intense conversation with Stephen Kidd before they parted ways and she was given the opportunity to chat amiably with Taneth and Eless. Even so, the atmosphere seemed strained at best. While I must say that I am ridiculously happy to have Issy around, I do have to hope that her return slash reappearance hasn't somehow been spoiled by bad news or crummy circumstances. I prefer my Issy when she is cracking jokes and maiming people " or better yet, cracking jokes while she is maiming people.

NEW PEOPLE WATCH! Actually they're not new; Andrew and Kassie have been around for a while now. But they merit special mention in our gossip edition because the connection between the two of them is mysterious at best. See, Andrew and Kassie are in that weird place where if they are a couple they shouldn't be but if they aren't they should be. Make sense" Yeah, we don't quite get it either. Kassie is the type of person who seems outwardly affectionate, while Andrew is" not. In fact as far as we've seen, the biggest emotional response you can usually get out of him is a grunt or monotone reply " which is O.K. on someone like Samiel, but it ain't so good on someone with few other redeeming qualities. I'll be more impressed when that kid polishes his manners or pickup lines up a little bit, but until then I'll keep an eye on the sexual tension. Ah, young love.

Also. Just quick mention here for our boy Petyr & Co. Not that I'm aiming to be crass or rude or anything (oh who am I kidding" That's exactly what I aim for), but if you have been reduced to having your infinite number of family reunions at a bar, maybe you should be reevaluating what you decide to spend your money on. Just a suggestion. But you know what they say " if you are going to criticize someone, always sandwich it in between two compliments. So how's this" You may have very poor taste in venues, but you seem to have good taste in partners " both Leo and Montgomery are arguably stand-up blokes. Was that two compliments" No' Then, uh' You have very nice pores.

I have a question. Why is it that whenever Ebon arrives at the Inn it is usually by his lonesome" Don't get me wrong; he is a very amiable bloke and has by this point probably accumulated enough friends to populate a small country, but was I on the toilet or something when the world went over Ebon's Romantic Situation 101" I have a feeling that's a class I really shouldn't have missed. Regardless, Ebon is one of those types that gets along with damn near everybody because his personality is so versatile. Word has it he was being exceptionally friendly with folks Wednesday and at some point mentioned that he won a staring contest against Taneth. Sha RIGHT. We don't like liars in this house, Ebon. Although' Come to think of it, a cup is enough to distract Taneth and make her squeal with delight, so maybe he won by default. I DEMAND A REMATCH!

REAL NEW PEOPLE WATCH! I will give one hundred dollars and a muffin to whomever can tell me who that ridiculously hot tattooed biker babe was getting an eyeful (and) handful of Icer on Wednesday. I feel like I've seen her around before more than once, but either don't know or can't remember her name (which, sorry, but is kiiiiinda the vibe that chick gives off). AND! I will throw in a second muffin if anyone can tell me who this other new babe is that has mastered having eye-sex with everyone on the planet. From what I hear her name starts with an "L" and she was seen talking with Jacen (read: flirting mercilessly with him) over slammers. At the moment I can't decide if I think she's a worthwhile phone call or a walking condom ad. Probably both.

Wow. When did Quinn and Daigh start looking so good together" You think one day they just looked at each other mid-conversation and decided not to be trashy anymore" Not that Daigh ever was, but let's face it; in the old days, Quinn wasn't the type of person you'd expect to see rocking Chanel on the red carpet. I don't know when it happened, but at some point Quinn and her dirty sense of humor became entirely likable. Then again, it could just be that I've been living in this city way too long and have become completely desensitized (I mean come on; those new boob-shaped goggles swimmers are wearing these days aren't that bad to look at). Regardless, Daigh and Quinn seemed to be in a great way on Tuesday when Taneth tricked them into agreeing to help her move. Whatever those two are doing they need to keep it up, because the vibes they give off just seem fun" Well, you know, when random guys aren't randomly returning to do some ex-taunting " like that dude who showed up later in the evening and pulled an "I'm back bee-tee-dubs" on Quinn's attractively pert little heinie (not that I've noticed). What is it about people in this town disappearing and then magically reappearing when their S.O.'s just get comfortable? I guess we'll just have to see if anything comes out of this new happy surge of draaaaaaama!

And speaking of drama, I hear from my able sources that while Dean was apparently conversing with ridiculously hot Aussie-plus-something-else Atalanta that same night he seemed remarkably down in the dumps. And while those sources could not get the details of that particular convo, I am told that the basic gist of it dealt with women trouble " but not the kind you might think. Whether it was related or not, he was also overheard asking Amber about the whereabouts of pastry-provider Katt, who apparently hasn't been around much lately. But anyway' whatever the problem is, dude, I recommend heeding whatever advice Atalanta gives you; she is wise in the ways of womanhood. Seriously. That chick needs her own radio talk show. "Listen to "Lanta."

Let me be the first to say that I have no problems admitting when I'm wrong. Actually I have a HUGE problem admitting when I'm wrong, which is why I don't do it. But in this case, I am perfectly O.K. with admitting I may have been slightly toying with the intangible line of error. So remember how it looked like Jochin and Candy had a thing going" Yeah, NOPE. Turns out Wednesday Jochin was seen with Sayuri getting very handsy (literally) and looking generally put together while they played the always-popular game of "No, you're cuter!" Actually since this is Jochin we're talking about it was probably something more along the lines of "No, you would look better naked!" But, hey, since it's Sayuri I don't blame him.

Looks to me like Arcadia tycoon Aja is learning a bad habit or two from her blonde adulterer elf buddy. What's the opposite of womanizing" Mannizing" Well mannizer Aja was apparently spotted being way close to Padriq Kidd earlier in the week " an interesting development, seeing as in the past year or so we've seen her on-and-off engaged slash married slash almost-divorced. I don't know when she felt like embracing her inner Kidd again, but by the looks of things this has been going on for a while. Tally that up with Stephen Kidd's ties to Aja's friend Diana, and I sense some kind of Kidd-marrying fetish going on in this merry band of middle-aged women. As for Aja, I've decided just to assume she is married or engaged to everyone in RhyDin until proven otherwise.

And SPEAKING OF ENGAGED! O.M.G. moment of the week doubtlessly goes to none other than RhyDin's Sexiest Woman, Eless and man-monster Luke! And I say man-monster because it takes a hell of a lot of man to be able to snag Eless for keeps " and that is exactly what Luke has done! Later this week the couple broke some utterly superb-tastic news to the Inn at large: that they are tuh-hotally getting hitched! I will say one thing. You can usually tell how many real friends you have by shouting "I"M GETTING MARRIED' and counting the number of heads that look up. In this case, it was quite a few and most were eager to offer their congratulations " including Lirssa, who did one heck of a precious job grilling Luke over his intentions. If Eless hasn't found someone to walk her down the aisle yet, I'd say that Lirssa is a pretty strong contender. Eless, baby, you know we love you, but I expect such unconditional love to be repaid with an invite the microsecond you two set a date. I've got some grilling of my own to do before I let RhyDin's Sexiest Woman go to another man! All that aside, CONGRATULATIONS!

Now, RhyDin, I have good news and I have bad news. The bad news is post-engagement announcement activities left me with a bad taste in my mouth " and no, that has nothing whatsoever to do with the round of celebratory Power Hour I played with two of my coworkers at Silver Mark that night. The good news is a certain irritating occurrence that took place has given me a brilliant idea to begin for my gossip columns. So here, RhyDin, is your grand unveiling: For every O.M.G. moment of the week, now we have a W.T.F. moment of the week. Hoo. Ray.

This week's W.T.F. moment comes from none other than I-am-legally-obligated-to-withhold-his-name, also known as Dar<REDACTED> and his wife Colleen. It so happens that that laughable couple picked Eless's special night to announce that they are going to have a kid. Two things. Number one, gods help the child who is raised in that household. It'll probably end up being babysat by French maids in playboy outfits. And number two, REALLY' Come ON, guys. You have nine freaking months to tell people about this piece of information, and you choose THAT night"! How could you steal Eless's thunder? THUNDER THIEVES! I hope the day that kid is born is the day that Tara, Locke, Wolvie, Jewell, Skid, Sin, Aly, and Des miraculously return and have a massive chocolate-coated orgy in the Inn's lobby at the same time Fio announces that she has discovered the solution to world hunger and civil inequality forever.

Hmm....Chocolate-coated orgies. I sense a party idea coming on.

But that's all for now, RhyDin! You stay sassy!
