Are you ready to be strong?

I went to have sushi with ita

Jealous is how I am.

Otherwise: sick. I might have pneumonia! It's very sexy, I know.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Oh no! I hope you don't, though since it is you, it is still PRETTY!

Sushi was interesting, as well as mostly good. We ordered omakase, and they gave us monkfish liver, which was weird, but the rest was really good.

I ate seafood the whole time we were in Costa Rica, and I have to say, fishes? Mmmm.

TAR (which I just finished): I loved the brothers changing to come in last.

I am sorry to see that team go.

OMG, anyone in LA looking for a freakshow roommate? [link]

If it's not a joke, I'm terrified that there might be someone out there who'd consider those reasonable requests for a roommate. On the flip side, if it is serious and the guy has relatives with any leanings toward having him committed....

Happy Birthday, Stephanie! (Even if it is a little belated now. I say you get to celebrate for the entire month!)

Hi, Eddie!

My sister got shirty with me because I didn't give her name to "Alibelle." Except she used Alibelle's real name. So I thought she was on crack for a while. Then I continued to think she was on crack, for assuming I'd be using her real (and very identifiable and a bit more googleable) first name all over the internet without express permission -- especially since when she TTed, she did so with a pseud.I know she's not all on the net the way I am -- she uses her real and full name, but she's not killing time -- she's working.It was very odd.

Mmm. Except "all over the internet" does not equal mentioning it in an email to me, when you give me her phone number. Though it is very smart of you to otherwise keep her name on the DL. (Did everyone see how I used some of that slang the kids are using these days? Did I do it right? Because now "DL" isn't reading as the "down low" like it was supposed to, but is instead reading as downstage left.)

I wish I got produce from an undisclosed location, but I can't give up my magazines or my conversational Urdu.

If I could be bothered to switch tags, this would be mighty tempting. Funny Jesse.

I forgot to set the clock in my tv, so I didn't tape anything correctly tonight. Maybe I'll pop into tape borrowing land tomorrow. Right now I'm too sleepy.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Welcome, Eddie.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Timelies!

Last night was actually warm enough that I opened the back door to the porch and sat out there for a while! t does a happy Spring dance

TAR: Too bad about the brothers! I thought Uchenna & Joyce rocked -- who knew that there was a contestant who'd ever even seen the head-balancing trick in person?

Killer Fatigue got a lot of the contestants this episode. They didn't have a luxurious pit stop the previous night -- those cots out in the desert must not have been very comfortable or stress-reducing. So we saw a whole lot of bad behavior from just about everyone but Rob & Amber (who, after all, have slept rough before)

Kelly is just melting down, in particular. Unless the camera missed something, Ron didn't curse her out at all. I don't suppose the cracks about the ballet lessons didn't help, but he WAS doing better at the head balancing than she was. (Once again, Uchenna's gentle encouragement worked a whole lot better. In fact, this was the Be Gentle episode (especially the goats, who will let down better if you don't yank on them or yell).

Lynn & Alex lost points with me for the "born to do it" crack, but then regained a bunch of them for putting on all their clothes just in case it was a non-elimination round.

Rob once again rocked with the competence. Notice how he handled the log-moving? He drove the Rover right up to the log so he didn't have to scramble so far to get the strap around it, and positioned the truck so he dragged it out of the road with one backup.

At this point there is only one team that I really don't want to win, and if they get eliminated next, I shan't cry....

TAR: Kelly kind of freaked me out this episode with the voiceover about how she read the Bible passage on "Love" and substitured her own name in place of the word "love" as her inspiration for the upcoming leg. Is that a known bible analysis/meditation tool?

It just seemed way random and jarring to me.
