The Amazing Race returns tonight! It’s time to travel (and fight with loved ones) vicariously through the contestants once again. I always think about how I would perform on the show, and I can honestly say that I doubt I’d even make it to the airport to start the race. I could probably manage well enough if I had a good partner as long as I never had to drive. If you’ve ever seen me get panicked whilst driving, you’ll understand. 😆

I think the only person I could race with is Narayan. He would know his way around the globe already, and he lets me spazz out without taking it too personally. He would also eat the fermented cow eyeballs (or whatever they come up with this year) without a fight. Niiiice.

Speaking of Narayan, he’s back in the country from Istanbul, and though I didn’t get to see him this visit, maybe we’ll get some time after he returns from his upcoming Kuwait trip. *fingers crossed*

Oh, and Happy Valentine’s Day. *pfft*

Personal, Work

Happiness is. . .

My (all too brief) visit with Narayan was just as I expected, full of juvenile humor and uncontrollable laughter. I’m happy to see that he hasn’t lost a lot of weight during his latest trip to Asia since he normally looks too skinny when he returns. For anyone interested, some of his photographs can be seen at NarayanMahon.com I’m sure none of the recent pics are up yet, and most of my favorites aren’t on his site yet, but can be seen at his generic hosting site, here.

Tomorrow, I get to play “Aunt Jenn” to Cage since my brother and his wife are at a golf tournament my brother is playing in. It’s the Coca-Cola something or other and only 5 amateurs were invited to play for the chance to play on the pro circuit next year. It’s a huge deal for him and regardless of the outcome, he’s really done well!

Ooh, my new principal was announced today (well, the assistant superintendent told me who it is, I don’t know if it’s been announced publicly or not). He seems like an OK guy from what we’ve heard. He’s a bodybuilder and former title winning coach, so maybe he’ll have the right blend of characteristics to whip our school into shape. :clap:

I haven’t commented much on this season of Doctor Who, but I have to admit that some of the eps have been just terrific. I especially like “Blink” and the kooky new Master. If Tennant wasn’t such a loon, I don’t know if I’d find The Master menacing enough, but with both of them running around like demented 8 year olds, I guess it works in a bizarre kind of way. I’m actually dreading the season finale since it means that we’ll have to wait until Christmas for more. I’m sure I’ll just break out the 9th DVD and tide myself over. :wink2:

I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of two totally different people and I don’t know which I’m more excited about: Narayan or Doctor Who. Hmm. Each has his plus points such as, well, Narayan is *real* and The Doctor doesn’t care if I clean my house for him. Come to think of it, Nar doesn’t care about that either. I guess Nar wins. Ooh, but The Doctor will be here first, so maybe he wins. Geez, it’s a toss up!

I started back on WW today. I’m glad I did, and I was a little sad to learn that I had gained back nearly 12 lbs. of the 35 I lost last time. Then again, it’s probably a miracle I didn’t gain it all back plus some! I have two buddies this time, one at home and one from work, so it should be a pretty easy process (as it was last time). Go me!

Tick. Tock.

[Edit: Unless Nar brings the spectacular, The Doctor wins. Oh yeah.]

[Second Edit: It’s 10:00pm. Nar is just now going through Jersey. He totally loses. 😆 ]

Personal, Site

S.l.o.w.

Finally got around to upgrading the site this morning, and OMG is it slow around here, or what?!?

I’m going to see if I can get rid of some of the 2.2.whatever bloat and speed things up :wink2:

Ooh, I almost forgot! There’s a chance I’ll get to see Narayan this weekend. He’s coming back to the USA today and will pass through on his way to his mom’s house. Yay!
