Amazing Race 15 epi 2

Monday, October 5th, 2009

OK I am loving the team with the guy with Asperger’s. Having a kid that NEEDS routine, I really admire the fact that he’s willing to step out and do this.

Also like the father/son with pink hair team.

There is a team that I don’t like, but not for the reason you would think.

Can you believe how many family members can fit on one motor bike?

Did I tell you that I have finally figured out my perfect CBS approved team mate?  Me and Mama.  Yes, me and the mother of my children.  Would you not watch that?  I totally would.

Vietnam has a lot of brightly dressed and smiley children.

Apparently you don’t have to pass an IQ test to get onto the show.

Teams were pretty much neck and neck the whole way.  First on the mat came down to the Globe Trotters and the athletic/dating since high school couple.  Is there a need for me to tell you that the Globetrotters won the foot race?  Well, they did.  The girl couldn’t keep up.

So, it was

  1. Globe Trotters
  2. Meghan and Cheyne
  3. Father and Pinky
  4. Miss America and hubby
  5. Sam & Dan (brothers)
  6. Poker Players
  7. Mika & Canaan
  8. Zev & Justin
  9. Lance & Keri (attorney and fiance’)

The dating couple Marcy and Ron were eliminated.

Somebody loses their passport next week.

What Happened on TV Last Night

Monday, September 28th, 2009

Yay!  The Amazing Race is back.  Can you believe they eliminated a team at the start line.  How devastating.  Until they started talking.  “We bore their anguish.”  Thank you CBS for sparing us anymore time with those people.  I haven’t yet checked out the Elimination Station to see if they are there.   My before the race started pick was Miss America and her hubby.  I don’t know now.  Like the Father/son team.  Don’t like the gay Christian brothers, and not because they are gay, because they are stupid.   Glad that team “uncertain what our relationship is” was eliminated.  My least favorite.

Desperate Housewives…who’s the new family and what is their deal.  My guess is Daddy is the creep.  Anyway, I’m glad Mike and Susan are the ones who got married.  Hello ABC – when a 40 something mom is three months pregnant with twins and they are children five and six, she’s fat!  She does not have a tiny belly/tiny boob thing going.  Although as someone in her stage in life, I totally get that terror and dread that she is feeling.   Bree and Orson are still married because he is still blackmailing her.  She’s getting hot and heavy in Bree fashion with her divorce attorney, who just happens to be Susan’s first husband.  Not much exciting with Gabi and Carlos, but Julie gets strangled at the end of the show, (my guess is new neighbor creepy dad).

Cold Case?  Who cares. But the blonde chic who needs a cheeseburger?  The guy who ran her off the road was acquitted and now she is out for revenge.

I think there might have been some football on.

Looking forward to tonight.  How I Met Your Mother is gonna be Awesome!  or Legen wait for it, dairy.

Alright, enough with the TV – Happy Yom Kippur.

General Malaise and Cap'n Crunch

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

I have that ambiguous lethargy that you get when you are getting sick.  I shouldn’t be surprised, I have amped up the exercise the past couple of weeks.  Two things always happen when I start to exercise or ramp it up extensively.  The first is I gain weight.  Done.  And I get sick.  Working on it.

Hubby thinks maybe, just maybe if I were to switch from sugar laden products to actual food, I might feel better.  You know what I have to say to that, right?

Throw a frisbee.

And crack me open another Coke.  I’ve only had three today.  And by three I mean four or five, depending on how you score the 32 oz Sonic Vanilla Coke I had this morning. Remembering the massive amounts of ice they put in and the fact that I hardly ever finish one.

Shouldn’t there be a pill or something that would make me feel better?  Nyquil would work, but I have to watch Criminal Minds tonight.  I’m talking a really groovy pill that will have a whole list of side effects, but not so groovy that I have to sit in a tub in my yard to enjoy it.

You remember Huey Lewis.  I want that drug.  Have they come up with it yet?  “The one that makes me feel like I feel when I’m with you?” That’s the drug I want.  You know who you are ;)

I’d remind you with that video we made, wink wink.  But I think one of the “help” took it.  I don’t know how they found it, being on the shelf and labeled “my sex tape” on it.  I don’t know why anyone would take it, it’s not like I’m running for President or anything.   There are some things I’m not meant to figure out.  It’s not like I’m Scooby Doo.

I think if you are going to run for President, you just have to get it all out there.  Oh I would so hate to be worried about what crap is going to find me.  So, as I remember things I’ll start confessing them here.  That way none of you will be able to black mail me into setting the Small Pox virus loose.

First thing.

In first grade, I cheated on my spelling test.  I wrote the word reindeer down before the test started.  I copied it right off the practice sheet.  I think it was first grade, might have been second.  I went to first and second grade in the same classroom.  The spelling book was green though.

Woooh.  I feel better already.

In a cathartic admission of guilt sort of way.

Still have the general malaise.

I think there may only be one man who can defeat the general, and that is Cap’n Crunch.  I am now on a mission to hire him as my personal mercenary.


Huh?
