Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I close the door when I'm using the bathroom with people over, and dislike having conversations when enstalled in a public restroom. I won't cut a conversation off if the other person tries to continue it in those circumstances, but I do really wish very hard they'd stop.

Hasn't worked yet.

eta: The TAR talk is oddly fascinating. Go Kentucky! At least I think that's what I mean. Time to watch CSI.

Now tagless for your comfort.

While staying with a friend in Pittsburgh, I got to catch up on CSI because Comcast has network on demand. I wish I had it--Time Warner doesn't offer this for network programming, just cable stuff. I *could* theoretically watch stuff online but I really like it on my tv.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm sorry I missed Andy Rooney tonight.

I don't close the bathroom door when I'm home alone with the kids because I'm usually trying to keep an eye and an ear open for them.

I seem to have On Demand, but it's wacky with the TiVo. And I do like watching TV curled up in bed with my laptop.

I share my bed with my Powerbook, a stuffed moose, and my cellphone.

I could be more single, but the body pillow keeps falling off onto the floor.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

TAR: Kentucky have definitely been the team that really has surprised me this race. They could have been the stereotypical hicks from the coal mines, not interested in the world outside or people Not Like Us. Instead, they've been the most openminded, kindhearted (except for Mary's tendency to yell at her husband, but I guess that's the way they relate) team I've seen in some time on this show. Much better than Freddy and KKKendra from TAR6! But, I'm hoping the *Wyns end up winning the whole thing--after the first ep, the Moslem team said that the Chos were their favorite people from the race, and I can totally see why.

Oh, and before I forget, congratulations to Jessica and Ethan!!!

"We have trust issues." Mylar

TAR: Ding dong the dick is dead! I am so so glad that team is gone. And I was super happy to see Sarah not hold back and give it to him with both barrels. He is so delusional. "We're both so hard-headed. We just butt heads." Uh, no. How about you are a psycho, controlling asshole and she is a woman who just woke up with a severe case of buyer's remorse? The next team that really needs to go are the Beauty Queens. And it's a shame because I really, really liked them the first couple of episodes. Now, don't get me wrong. I know that Lyn and Karlyn haven't been saints, but the BQs are really chapping my ass.

'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"

TAR: Must have been a strained time in Loserville for Peter & Sarah, but she's coming out a winner anyway, because breaking up with him is a good and wise thing! And with everyone else, I'm breathing a big sigh of relief that the Chos' generous gesture didn't make them pay big.

Can it really be that we're to this point in the season and there's only one team I have serious complaints about?

The status is NOT quo.

I share mine with my Powerbook, two cats, and my cellphone. And ND, but I'm not really sure how he fits. Maybe he's like the body pillow.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, "recently dating" means they WERE dating recently, then? I'm only sad we didn't see him have to do a road block. Fucking Peter. I hate that fucking guy.

Also, I don't think the Chos dawdled at the tower on purpose -- the numbers they picked at the beginning of that was the order for the climb, right?

Also also, I thought it was nice that the production put a FF right after this new version non-elimination leg.

And yeah, I loved Kentucky with the dream of being a fire fighter. Love them! Although now I think they'll just be bored on the spa vacation.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

TAR: The way theCho's, Bama and Kentucky have stuck together and helped each other is so unusual for this show. I think it's the brothers who are the cement. I still cannot believe they went so far out on a limb for anther team. It's kind of inspiring.

I saw Andy Rooney tonight. I usually only half listen to what he's complaining about, so I was a little slow on the uptake. But, yes he basically told Bush to admit his mistakes and come clean about the war. He also said something about being asked to keep his commentary short, for some reason. He said it was easy to do when he's being serious.
