Polo Sans Prince Carl

Last week I went to a polo match. When informed of this opportunity, my immediate thought was, of course, "Will Prince Carl be there?" Unfortunately, since I live in New York, the polo match was in Saratoga Springs, not Will Rogers State Park. It was for work, so I went online and found amazing shots of Steve Sanders in a band collar shirt with suspenders for fashion inspiration and e-mailed them to my colleagues. However, I threw out my band collar shirts in the '90s. So, I wore a dress instead. I'm not one to turn down an excuse to buy an overpriced dress from Anthropologie.com.

Another "project" I've been working on is figuring out how many times actors appeared on 90210 as two completely independent characters. This idea first came to me years ago when I realized that Stuart Carson was a bellhop in Palm Springs, long before he was Larry Carson's Pepperdine dropout son (PS - I went to Pepperdine for two semesters - rock on, Stuart). Since then, I've come up with three others:

-Kate, Dana's new girlfriend from Season 5 = Random woman in the restroom when Erica gets her period for the first time in Season 4 (technically, I guess she could have been the same woman)
-The casting person in the mouthwash commercial from Season 3 = Emily Valentine's friend and neighbor Rosie in Season 4
-Camille Desmond is one of the weirdest ones, she goes on a double date with Brandon and Steve in Season 8, but turns out to be a lesbian, before she is employed at Now Wear This and dates David Silver

Unfortunately, when I was in the middle of this project, I suffered a computer tragedy. My shih-tzu and I were on the couch when I heard a loud pop, followed by a huge cloud of smoke coming from my laptop's AC adaptor. I stayed surprisingly in focus, and did not start praying ala Kelly Taylor at a Holiday Rave, rather, I unplugged the cord and began screaming expletives at my dog to encourage him to stay far away from the flaming adaptor. Then I brought it outside and when I was convinced it was not a fire hazard, I flung it into the trash and called Dell. After some argument with a call center rep (them: not under warranty, me: safety hazard), they agreed to send me a new cord, provided I mailed back the old one, which, yes, I did have to fish out of the trash. So Dell's getting an AC adaptor with dog poop on it. I explained this on the phone, but they still want it back. It's in a bag in my garage.

So my list of 90210 characters is on my laptop, but I can't use it, because it needs to be plugged in. Who am I missing? There can't only be 4.

  1. Not only do dog poop bags come in handy when you're on a walk, but they can also be convenient for cleaning up in your own yard.
    Having a dog waste bag can make cleaning up easy, no matter what the poop is like. It's as simple as putting your hand in the bag and picking it up with your protected hand, then tying the bag shut and tossing it in your garbage.

    Thanks for sharing,
