This Week In Fandom

top-chef-thumbBoo! Top Chef sent the darling Fabio home and left cry-baby Hosea there. Let’s see, out of the last few chefs: Jamie-fun and lots of personality (GONE), Leah-female Hosea, blech (GONE), Fabio-cute and personable (GONE…boo). Chefs remaining: Stefan-hate if you want, I love his snarky style, Carla-literally crazy and fun, Hosea-a panting puppy (love me, love my food, huhuhu).

Lost was, apparently on this week. Survivor is still in the early rounds, so we don’t really get to know anyone yet. I think my love for Ugly Betty is now tainted by the news that America is a diva and very demanding on set. I’m not as into it as I was. TAR was good, but I’m already over the “human triumph” angle. Lose it…now. The SG-1 reruns on Sci-Fi finished Season 8 this week–undoubtedly the best shows I watched all week.

I’m holding my latest episode of Legend of the Seeker until I finish housework, otherwise, I’d probably be loving it in this very post.

In other news, I bought a Red Zune 80GB from a student this week. I’ve named it HobStar Red, and I’m debating giving HobStar to my brother, who has expressed a shocking interest in it. HobStar Red already contains everything that was on HobStar as well as all of S4 of Doctor Who. Gotta love that!

My birthday was very quiet and very nice–except for the fact that the school caught fire and I had to stand in a very cold field for three hours while we waited for clearance. I guess Todd’s wishes to “Dead Jenn” were actually appropriate! 😆

The rest of the week was spent fighting horrible driving conditions and wishing for nothing more than home.

I’m going to do some fandom posting later today, but for now, it’s naptime.

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*

If you’ve visited from JennMiller.com, welcome back!

After a horrible, horrible time dealing with hosting from 1and1.com, the site is working again, albeit with a new host. Because the site was loading so slowly, I decided to switch the domain to a new host, Bluehost. While unlocking the domain, somehow things got twisted and JennMiller.com got slapped with a DNS error that 1and1 stated would clear up on it’s own…as if! Anyway, I emailed 1and1 several times and received such ridiculous responses (one actually said that after a refresh, my site was working again…LIAR) that I finally decided that they can’t understand English at all. I finally got the transfer to go through after losing a week’s worth of accessibility and my Google status. I am going to move all my domains from 1and1 and never look back. I had five good years of hosting with them, but lately, their service, as well as their customer service has been so poor that I’d rather pay a little more and be happy.
