It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

There's (so far) one woman who seems like she could have potential - assuming she doesn't turn out to be one of Survivor's patented "oh those crazy minorities" casting jobs. It's too soon to tell. Fingers crossed.

They are so bad at casting women, generally. It seems like on any random season of men, they have one or two older guys, about six buff mid-twenties types and a weirdo. For women, it's about the same, excpet the buff dudes are replaced with wanna-be models. About as smart or interesting, but seriously handicapped given the nature of the game. That's only compounded when they're divided by sex out of the gates.

Because books.

Anyone watching Idol? JLo's top tonight is blinding.

The one seventeen-year-old kid, David something, who was in the "Rocking Robin" group, is incredible.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

PR: Kenley's sure gotten better at taking criticism, or they are editing her very differently...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ahaha! Found out last night a friend of mine went to high school with, and is Facebook friends with, a guy who was on Tool Academy. He is still a tool.

TAR: Ugh, why did Rachel and Brendon seem so competant?

That's the scary thing. They're both dumb as rocks, but with a competitive streak that somehow cuts through the fog when something's on the line. They could actually go far.

Indeed! Though I was not upset at who went home. I roll my eyes at the new york boys, but figure they won't be long behind and am hoping they might be entertaining in the meantime. I like Army guy, but worry he and his wife might be annoying together (it's never a good plan when you announce "we're hoping this will bring us back together". Seriously? Get a therapist, not a stressful sleepless adventure!)

I did roll my eyes at the not-driving-stick. I mean, I just started watching last season and I know that you need to learn to drive stick before embarking on the show!

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

Argh! I forgot it was starting. Do I need to know anything about the first one?

Always know how to drive a stick! Also, seriously, listen to your mother.

Can I pick someone else's mother?
