Tricia Walsh-Smith episode 3: going "Bonkers"

03:27 PM PT, May 20 2008

Triciawalshsmith I'm a couple days late reporting that the indefatigable Tricia Walsh-Smith, a self-described divorce "warrior," is back with a third installment of her real-real-reality chronicles (for background see here, here and if you want to, here).  Episode 3 is a huge improvement over #2, which I mercilessly panned for its lack of camera movement, flat tone and general failure to move the "plot" forward.  This time, though, Trish is all about color, music, and motion. 

Now safely ensconced in her barely lived-in London flat, Trish can continue/reprise the rambling story of how her husband Philip wronged her by "upholding the prenup." She then wields the following sentence fragment in unblinking earnest: "birth certificates, computers, files, scripts, my life, my Limoge collection."  That, ladies and gentlemen, is dialogue.

Another stroke of genius in plot development was Trish's appeal to fans [aside: Who are these fans? I thought I was the only fan. If there's a real fan base there should be websites and "Bonkers" T-shirts] to send her money through PayPal to cover her legal fees. Every woman and "every man who's not an MCP" should send money, and with the excess money (if there is any) Trish will start "Women Warriors of the World United" so she can help other women "in [her] position."

"Women of the world: If I win, you win."

Seriously, who wants this woman as a running mate?
