The Home Stretch

At 9pm tonight there were still three contestants left on AI; an hour later, there were two. It was shocking to see Chris go last week, but this week I actually had tears when...close your eyes for the next word if you haven't seen the results show yet...Elliott...was voted off. He seems like such a sincere guy that has overcome some incredible obstacles growing up. The voting was incredibly close so I take comfort in that. These last three are all really good, and I couldn't even vote yesterday because I was so torn. Elliott had 33.06% of the vote. The other two were 33.26 and 33.68 (does that add up?) - but they didn't show who fell where in those two figures. Amazing. Next week I am definitely voting for Taylor. He and Paris were my initial favorites during the auditions. I sure can pick 'em! Leg up!!

Letterman's Mom and Mustangs

OMG I am watching Letterman and his Mom is doing the Top Ten List "Reasons I love being Dave's Mom." She is so freakin' cute! She will be 85 soon - she reminds me of my Grandmas. I love old people.

So now I have it in my head I want a new car, one nothing like I actually need or that is even remotely practical. Why do I need practical? It's just mean zipping around here and there. Plus my Jetta may even have too much room. I have you seen my back seat lately? It's full of junk. I need something new and exciting. I have been admiring the new Mustang lately then all of sudden yesterday I thought I want one! I have loved driving the Jettas - they are cute and economical. Now I want something really fun and even a little stupid. Stupid because I won't be able to afford it and paying for gas will probably bleed me dry. Well ya know that is a chance I am willing to take to have something that will make me happy and add to my new life. So there. Leg up!!

You're hot...for your age

Single life is interesting. This past Saturday night Jaime and I ventured to one of our favorite bars - the Blue Tusk. We actually have a couple of favorite bar stools, and had to hover near them this particular night until the losers sitting in them left. This spot at the bar has been a successful spot for us - remember this is where I became the Blue Tusk prize (which I have back up blue ribbons - no worries)! Saturday night was definitely entertaining. Besides having a few beers and recording some of the bitter and funny sayings we came up with during the night (finish this line: love is like...; please make it as dirty and bitter as possible and post a comment), we were approached by some interesting men...er, boys. Let's see first was Mr. Big (trust me this is literal and he looks nothing like Mr. Big from Sex and The City) and birthday boy. They were looking for a fun bar. Duh take a look around - the Tusk rocks when we're there! They proceeded to buy us a round even though I kept text messaging Hawaii. I felt bad after the fact because I was probably being rude but I had no interest. They were nice and hey I got a beer out of it, but they were soon on there way.

The next round came from some military guys one of which had approached us earlier looking for a place to go dancing. Well he and his buddy were back I assume to quickly gather up some girls before the bars closed because it was getting late. So the one guy is chatting with Jaime and his marine buddy decided to try to sweep me off my feet by asking me if he could ask/make inappropriate questions/comments. Maybe he didn't say inappropriate but after what he said, that's how I would characterize it. No, it was just stupid. He asked me how old I was to which I answered the truth: 30. He claimed to be 24 (he looked 16). His next smooth move: Mr. Personality says to me "you're hot for your age." LOL Are you kidding? For my age? OMG please guys leave it at "you're hot" with any girl whether you want to date her or you're just out for one night of fun. Trust me age has nothing to do with it. I'm hot for any age! Then there were a couple of African-American youngsters (21 years old I think) trying to pick us up as we left the Tusk. The night steadily got younger and younger...very strange. I don't know - maybe it is the warmer weather revving up the testosterone.

AI PREDICTION: The rest of the competition will be a sausage party. See you later Katherine. She's is a great singer but she shit the bed this week. Elliott was phenomenal. Leg up!!!

My dishwasher works

I have lived in my new place a little over 2 months and my dishwasher finally works...fixed this morning. How sad that is makes me happy enough to blog about it. But you have no idea how much I hate doing dishes by hand. Sure it is good for the nails but so is nail polish and I rarely use that as well. Not having a working dishwasher put a wrinkle in my life - I felt out of sorts with dirty dishes in the sink with nothing to wash them but my own two hands! *GASP* Good thing my social life has some substance or else this blog would be more pathetic than it already is. I'm really not this big of a loser...I don't think.

So I was watching "The Sopranos" last night. Yes, Vito is gay but wow this episode definitely reminded me of a little movie called "Brokeback Mountain". If you saw this episode and have seen the movie, I think you know what I mean with a couple of the scenes. And Lauren Bacall got slugged in the face for her bag-o'-loot and then she topped it off with an f bomb! That was hysterical! This season of my favorite mob family has been very interesting. The part with Tony in the hospital and dreaming he was Kevin Finnerty was at first boring but had some interesting underlying ideas as I think each episode has. I swear when Tony was sitting by the pool the day he got home from the hospital I thought the ducks were going to return. Maybe I was just thinking everything would come full circle. And now AJ is having panic attacks. I love it! He such a little bastard. I can't wait to see where all this leads. I am SO going to miss this show.

Ooh I think the dishwasher is almost done. Leg up!!
