Semi-related, friends are taking me out to Hubert Keller's Fleur de Lys next weekend for my birthday. I am so excited.
Am jealous!
I'll be in my bunk.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I was glad to see on recent episodes of both What Not To Wear and Tim Gunn that they gave the person new glasses instead of making them take them off. I always hate that!

True, but otherwise I hated the latest makeover on Tim Gunn.

I didn't really care one way or the other. I may be over makeover shows.

Well, I've decided that TGGtS is not particularly helpful. At least WNTW, especially the BBC version, gave me enough info that I felt I could overhaul my wardrobe myself.
I just don't need Veronica Webb to tell me that if I could afford ERES I would have much sexier lingerie.

It did make me re-think my back fat. Maybe it's my bra, and not my fat!

Caught up on the first two Survivor: China's last night and this morning. Christian Radio Talk Show host lady bugged me a little with her response to the Buddhist ceremony, and the "I'm not religious, I just have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ" -- I do not think those words mean what you think they mean -- but was then very surprised that she's turning out to be a likeable person.
It's kind of an average Survivor so far, but I'm easily entertained by the shots of pandas and monkeys.

Thrive to spite them
I don't think she was very smart to trust Todd, in fact I have no idea why she trusted him. I would have trusted the person I sorta had a bond with (James the Grave digger).

Why would you tell anyone in the first place? Makes no sense to me. (Though yeah, James would have been the better choice.)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I am guessing she doesn't yet have a bond with James. But it doesn't matter. She apparently auditioned for this show what, five times? and doesn't know about trading for value. Don't assume people will do something for you out of like! It's a zero sum game!
