Another F for the cute one!

Chris Sligh is going home! Good call Robyn! Tune in next week for more wrong predictions :-)

In reality TV land...

Tough call this week as to who is going home. Sanjaya was awful again. He murdered "Bathwater" and had horrible hair. However somebody is still voting for him. So I think he will be unfortunately safe again. My prediction for the bottom three are: Chris Richardson, Chris Sligh, and Haley.

Going home: Chris Richardson (also murdered "Don't speak" one of my favorite No Doubt songs)

However so far I'm not that good at picking who is going home so we'll see tonight!

In other reality TV news.... Sisely went home on "The search for the next doll" That show is really like a dream come true for all the men out there. For most of the show the contestants are half naked and dancing suggestively. Last night their challenge was to prove that they were sexy they had an hour to come up with and teach a short dance to a male partner. So bad yet I keep watching....

Crazy for citrus

This year I have discovered a new found liking of citrus fruits. First it was grapefruit and now oranges. Specifically Cara Cara Oranges. I should really thank my co-worker for the grapefruit thing. He was selling boxes of citrus for his church group and kept going on and on about how good the grapefruit was. So I decided what the heck it is for a good cause and bought a box. After that I was hooked. Got a little obsessed with them.

Now the for the oranges I should thank my sister Jenn. Jenn is always introducing me to new good stuff (pink lady apples, honey crisp apples, fennel, leeks, butternut squash soup, ....). I had part of a Cara Cara orange when I was in Seattle and liked it, so when I was at the whole foods this weekend I picked some up! They are pink inside and quite sweet. Even my cube-mate Amy who loves oranges is now thinking about trying to get some because they are so yummy!

Bond and Lake houses

I saw two movies this weekend: Casino Royale, and The Lake House. I loved the new Bond flick! Damn he is hot...why couldn't he go the whole movie without his shirt...I mean does he really need it? I'm feeling warm...moving on...I like the darker side to Bond. It made him seem more like real person as opposed to a hot action figure. Daniel Craig was edgier than Pierce. He had a more rough persona. I will definately rent this one another time.

As for the Lake House. It was a beautiful love story but you just had to suspend your belief since it wasn't realistic. I loved that they were writting letter to each other. Letter in my opinion are so much more personal then phone calls or e-mails. Something about hand writing notes is just more romantic. I love stationery and hand make cards. I think you communicate something beyond what you can with a phone call or e-mail. It is almost like you can express your body language in how you write a note. Extra care and effort goes into writing a letter. Maybe I'm just parochial because I love paper crafts and I'm a bit of a romantic. Oh and I totally want to read Persuasion by Jane Austen now. I love Pride and Prejudice!

Monday's are evil!

I hate Monday for sereval reasons:

1. Getting up early
2. Going to work
3. Trying to remember what it was your were doing last week and what needs to be done this week.
4. ?

Feel free to add to the list!

WikiHow....wiki WHAT?

I found this hilarious site a while back that I have been meaning to share for awhile...it is called WikiHow. It is like wikipedia but for how to do things. Example: the page I orginally found was "How to get your girlfriend to play video games." The advice it quite amusing while being practical at the same time...if that is possible.

Here is an excerpt:
"Many men will be forced, at some point, to part with their beloved game console by supreme order of their female companions. This can be avoided using proven game system/girlfriend social activities to gradually introduce gaming culture to your loved one and vice versa. You may not get her into Resident Evil, but she may end up playing some games you both can enjoy."

The pages are of course editable and you can add your own advice. Other somewhat entertaining pages are:

How to provide fake statistics and claims to support your arguments - "It is a well-known fact that 85% of all statistics are entirely fake. Additionally, several scientific studies have shown that providing numerical data and hard facts(whether legitimate or not) in your arguments, makes you appear 103% more persuasive. Thus, it is essential in today's world to be educated on this manipulative practice." How crazy it is that there advice about this topic.

How to give someone a hickey

How to convince people to go skinny dipping

The list goes on and on....Enjoy!

2 for 4

I said I would predict each week who was going home on idol...I'm a little behind here were my picks for the last two and the results.

last week: Brandon (correct)
this week: Phil (incorrect stephanie)

so with one correct from before I still have a big old F. However Stephanie's exit was a bit of a surprise to most people I think. Especially considering she was definately better than Phil, Sanjaya, and Haley! Just more proof that the show isn't really totally about singing ability. However it does make for enteraining TV. Tune in for my prediction next week...I'll do it before the results I promise!
