New Challenge Tonight

1,297 Comments

I have no logo for my new show. It makes me want to shout, “Where my homies logos at?!?” The RW/RR Challenge: The Island debuts tonight, and as always, I’ll be watching. Even though I won’t know half of the contestants, after this season, they’ll be like old friends to me when I see them on their next challenge. Whoo hoo!

I’ve been croupish for a week and a half now. I’m over it. Well, I’m not over it, I’m over the thought of it. Go away, hack. I have no doubt that if I put the Newports down, it’ll get better faster, so I guess I really can’t complain too much, but still…. Oh, and if I could only remember to NOT BITE MY NAILS, especially at the start of the school year, I probably wouldn’t have caught this mess in the first place. Bah!

College Fair tomorrow…wish me luck! It’ll be a miracle if this thing happens at all. 😳

True Enough

I’m convinced that HBO’s new series, True Blood, is in fact, just Natural Born Killers with vampires. It’s got the same white-trash-montage in the credits and the same dirty feel. There’s plenty of gore, sex, and uncomfortable moments as the characters, none of which are particularly stellar, move among each scene with a low class desperation. That said, I won’t loop it, but I’ll watch it.

As for SGA, I’m glad it was canceled. This perverse sense of loyalty I have keeps me watching even though it feels like we’ve already seen every episode, some of them twice. Case in point: Last night, the team stumbled upon one of Michael’s labs. I’ve already said that Michael as an archenemy is a lame storyline, so imagine the fun of finding his lab, for the 2486th time. Wow. Actually, this episode was made better by the addition of a bunch of chicks, none of which we cared one bit about. Swell. Lest you think the fun was all wrapped up in last night’s episode, you get this to look forward to: Next week Teyla goes undercover on a Wraith ship because of her wraith properties…AGAIN.

Though I so did not keep a level head, I may have averted tragedy today; and I did it in true superhero fashion.

The coordinator for the annual county college fair quit. Not “quit as coordinator”, quit the entire state and moved away. Like a dolt, I volunteered to take over, thinking that since the schedule for this year’s fair was set in May, everything is set. WRONG! Something told me to call the facility and confirm that every recruiter from the East Coast (not an exaggeration, no, not at all), would be cleared to set up booths on the 11th. Yeah, he’d never heard of it. In fact, the facility is already booked by another agency that day from 8-4. 😮

I had to put aside my fear and intimidation and call the big boys at the state level. I proposed moving the venue to our school’s gymnasium and hoped they wouldn’t be too harsh in their reply. They were like, “Dude, no problem, we’ll put the word on the listserv and let it roll.” :smoke: Seriously.

Sometimes, things just work out for you. 🙂
