It's the end of the world as we know it...

It's TV blog time! Here's what we'll be discussing for this installment...

The Amazing Race
ANTM
Grey's Anatomy
LOST
Hell's Kitchen

The Amazing Race
My heart certainly went out to Margie and Luke who had an amazing head start on the last leg of the race. Luke got so frustrated and that slowed him down to the point that they came in third! :( Oh well, I was glad Cara and Jamie didn't win because of how arrogant and condescending they could be while in cabs, in airports, or just in the streets. I didn't mind that Tammy and Victor won, they were a good team from the beginning.

ANTM
Every season I always know who's going to win based on who is Tyra's favorite... it doesn't matter who's most improved or who worked it out. Tyra had a problem with Allison from the start and cut her down for always looking the same, then because she wasn't a good walker, then because she was shy... it just went on and on. Maybe it's better though because now Allison can go out and do her thang without being represented by Trya's company.

Grey's Anatomy
SIGH ... Well I didn't see THAT one coming! For those of you who haven't seen it and have avoided news articles and people talking about it, read no further and go watch!!

... everyone still with me? Good. I, personally, think that Izzy and George are both going to make it. There have been RUMORS of both actors leaving the show but there isn't really any evidence that they will for sure. Katherine is much happier with her story line this season and has said she wants to stay. We shall see!

LOST
OMG... that's all I have to say.

Hell's Kitchen
I was routing for Paula in the end but you know what... it was down to 2 really great chefs and I'm glad that for once I liked both of the finalists. I kinda want to go to the Borgada now... anyone want to come with??

Anyone going to watch the Bachlorette? I'm still deciding.

Alright, my next post will be a real post... promise!

Rewinds and Reruns

Things here in the Mile High City are going good... good enough anyway. Things keep rolling along as they always do. All you can do is roll along with it and hope for the best. April means 2 things... Amy's birthday and taxes. Amy's birthday is tomorrow and I hope, for once, she has a good one. Amy has a perpetual streak of having a bad birthday on the actual day of her birthday but good celebrations for her birthday on other days. I hope tomorrow is wonderful and breaks the bad streak!

Taxes, on the other hand, are always bad and this year sucks more than normal because, you see, my dad's accountant does my taxes (they are a little complicated actually) but the accountant had to go to the hospital last week because of heart problems so there was a delay in getting them done!! Therefore my dad is UPSing me my taxes over night. I have to get them all signed, checks written, and in the mail tomorrow!! I DO NOT want to have to deal with other last minute tax doers at the post office... I don't like going to the post office on a normal day let alone the busiest day of the year!! That's why I want to get them out tomorrow as opposed to waiting until Wednesday, the actual deadline.

Work is going alright. Our team is actually almost completely done with our region and as we finish up we will be sent to other regions to help them finish. I was asked if I would be interested in going to Wyoming to help there because they don't have enough people! It's still tentative but I would love to go just for a change of scenery for a little while. Besides, I've never been to Wyoming!

Well, as most people know, I LOVE reality TV so here is my take on my favorites this season as we grow closer to the end of many of them...

Celebrity Apprentice- By far one of the weirdest things I've ever seen was Joan Rivers getting mad... she looks exactly the same as when she is happy except she narrows her eyes a little bit. I'm glad Brian was gone; let's face it, he was just plain boring. I'm rooting for Jesse James because, unlike Peirce (last season's winner), he's not a complete douche but is super good at what he does.

Amazing Race- Still in love with Margie and Luke. Looks like some serious drama is going down next week with them so that'll be interesting. I was really pissed the midgets didn't get eliminated this week, they bug the hell out of me.

America's Next Top Model- Allison better thank her lucky stars she looks like a Madame Alexander doll because that's all that's saving her from going home. I think she's fabulous and am rooting for her to go all the way but wake up girl and give us a smile or something!

Hell's Kitchen- Now that they are down to the final 5 I am rooting for Robert. I hate Ben, Paula is boring, Andrea's a bitch, and Danny just doesn't do it for me (he is, however, my second choice). Honestly though, I've never seen a shittier season as far as service goes so it's been a bit painful to watch.

Survivor- I only have one thing to say now that the merge has come and gone-- If you don't kick Coach off soon I'm going to start banging my head on the floor everytime he comes on the screen!

So there's my reality catch up but seriously, if I only had to pick one show to watch a week it would be LOST. I love that show!! I know it's either a love it or hate it show and I used to be the former beleive it or not! ABC put all the seasons online for free so over the summer, when everything was between seasons, I started watching it from the very first episode and was hooked! For those of you who watch, can you beleive that origionally Ben Linus was only supposed to be a minor character on the show for a few weeks?! The response was so good that they turned him into arguably the most important character in the show!!

Alright, I suppose that's enough for now.

~HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMY!~

Life is like...

Getting a free box of chocolates in the mail!!! Now maybe you didn't read my blog post that said that I won the "Why did I do that?" contest on Kris's blog... but I did and since she works in a chocolate shop (like a real, we-make-it-all-here-by-hand type) she MADE me chocolates and sent them to me. (Check out their website) Now despite the fact that she graciously turned down my offer to deliver them to me personally, I received them today in the mail... and let me tell ya, they were worth the wait!! Not only did I get an amazing box of chocolates, she also sent me an adorable book that I'm almost 1/2 way through already. Ready to take a look??

Beautiful Packaging!!

The first layer!!!



The Second layer!!!!

Now for those of you who watch LOST and saw last night's episode, I have to admit that when I lifted up the first layer of chocolates I only half expected to see a pistol underneath a la Sun (who is by far my favorite character in the show).

Anyway, the prize is AMAZING and you should all be jealous!! Now how to fit these in my diet....

Welcome to the Asylum

I write this entry assuming that you read my entry about what a crazy week was in store for me last week. Well, as I embark on a new week, I find it necessary to vent a bit, and in general, unwind. Bare with me as I ramble into oblivion. Not to worry, I only have about 30 minutes until my sleeping pill kicks in... then it's lights out.

I think we are all caught up through Thursday when I had my interview with a robot. Thursday night, however, I went to play trivia at Old C's and with the help of Carlito, I came in second... slash third. If you need and explaintion of how this happens, check out the trivia blog from that night. There's a wonderful (NOT!) picture of me with Carlito and how the night went down.

Friday was pretty standard wackiness at OS. Giggles and I routinely lose our minds on Friday and it's pretty much just a big game of who loses it first and who loses it worst. In the end we always end up pretty even by annoying our co-workers to the "nth" degree. We got a smattering of snow which caused everyone to forget the basics of driving 101 on the wonderful ride back to the subburbs which pretty much explains the life of a city commuter. Friday night I hung out at Old C's with my favorite bartenders again after I was dissed by some other friends.

Saturday was a workshop at the OS and so I had to get up early and work. Overtime is great and all, but it messed up the chi of the day!! After work I decided to go to the market and on the way stopped by to check out the 24Hour Fitness near me. After a tour and explanation of prices, I decided to join. I'm going in tomorrow after work to sign the paperwork and get my membership card. :) I've also found out that my parents are almost definitely coming out for Memorial day to see me and so that my dad and I can do the Bolder Boulder together!! YAY!! I eventually did get to the market and home where I made a wonderfully low fat dinner. I had just enough time to check my email and make a phone call before I had to head off to the church I design lights for for a meeting with the director of the service. I can't even tell you how great it was to finally have some one on one time with her without all the other committee members telling me their opinions. In short, I don't give a damn about what those other people want to see done!! It's between me and the director. Besides, you, my dear, have shitty taste!

Today was spent (and I do mean ALL of today) at Comcast Media Center in Centennial watching a taping of Food Network Challenge. This one was really different, and I would tell you all about it except I had to sign a non-disclosure waver saying that I wouldn't tell what went on during the taping and that if I did FNC had the right to come break my kneecaps.. I couldn't take pictures and there were only 50 people allowed to come. Last time I went there was no guest list, anyone could come and go as they please, you could take pictures, and there was no waver. I was pretty upset about the picture thing. I'll blog more about it after the show airs the third week of April. The other taping I went to is called Chocolate Masterpeices and is showing during chocolate week in February (around Valentine's day). I got to the studio at 7:45am and left at 7:30pm. Crazy!! About the show, all I can say is that Food Network may have taken this a little too seriously and I think that's a damn shame.

A full weekend but fun and I got some good stuff done. I'm getting a little heavy lidded... guess I've been typing for about 3o minutes, eh?

I did fail to mention that on Wednesday night I traveled down south to Courtney and Matt's who so graciously invited me to come watch the LOST season premier. Though it's a bit of a drive for me, it was a lot of fun!! Until Joe came in through the balcony door (she's on the 2nd floor by the way) and scared the ever loving Jesus out of me...

Until next time....
