Project Update is Tomorrow - eeks

I weigh in again tomorrow. The end of the month.
It's already here and I'm askin' "what happened to
August?"

We'll see tomorrow how I did this month - I'm hoping
for another 4-5 lbs to bring my August total to 8 or
9.

fingers crossed......

9/5/06 - I just realized that I forgot to send an update about the loss.

It was only 1 pound, for a total of 5 for August. BUT I can tell I lost inches

because I was able to wear a cute t-shirt that I could not wear earlier in the month.

I put it on just to see how it fit and it was fine - two weeks earlier I couldn't

wear it because the sleeves were too tight. SO I feel good. Now, on to September.

RockStar:SN: I See Through You and I Hate It !

I am just getting so TIRED of the continued
deviousness of the PTB on Rockstar:SN. Here's my
question to Mark Burnett: "If you know who the winner
is before the show even STARTS, then DON'T HAVE THE
FREAKING SHOW." Just tell SN who their new lead
singer is and don't put the rest of us through all the
crap.

The comments from Dave and SN following each
performance are getting more and more blatant and
slanted - it's impossible to believe it's not rigged
anymore. Last night was the Dilana-show; the entire
season has been the Dilana-show, the SHOW is the
Dilana-show. I AM SICK OF IT! And now since she

kind of messed up, it's becoming the "Lukas Show".

baahhhh.

Storm Large has been the consummate professional on
this show - she is beautiful, calm, strong and has a
lovely clear voice. Is that what SN wants? No. Week
after week Storm gives us fabulous, excellent,
emotional performances and week-after-freaking-week
she is bombed and condemned by SN - she's the only
contestant who has received
slightly negative/negative/totally negative critiques
EVERY WEEK even after sensational performances that
totally do not deserve anything but kudos. Last night
she kicked everyone's butt with a stellar version of
"Bring Me To Life", with backing vocals by Toby. It
was excellent - one of the best performances of the
season. And Dave and SN? "Oh gosh, Toby, you were
really good and you stole some of Storm's thunder.
Storm, Jill did that song better, yours just wasn't
memorable." WTF did they hear? Is the sound quality
of my TV that much better than the CBS studios????
Jill sucked when she sang that song.

They SO OBVIOUSLY don't want Storm - I'm sure they
want Dilana-gate, Luk-ass, Ryan and Toby to be the
final 4 so they can pick Dilana - if Storm goes too
much further they won't be able to justify not picking
her. I'm just sayin'.

I hope other voters saw what I saw and heard what I
heard and voted the hell out of their phones for
Storm. She does not deserve to be kicked off the show
for being better than the favorite.

Oh, The Humanity!

Ok, this thing just happened to me and I'm still
reeling from shock.

I'll try to share it, but it's really hard.....here
goes:

I was just downstairs in the restaurant getting a
breakfast sandwich and coffee for breakfast. I
ordered it, paid for it, and waited for it to be done.
I glanced over at the table next to me and to MY
SHOCK AND HORROR someone had a left a
beautiful piece of B A C O N on a plate on the table
to be THROWN OUT!!!!!!!!! INTO THE TRASH!!!!!! My
first instinct was to grab it and eat it. It was
sitting on a clean plate beside the obvious breakfast
plate (remnants of hashbrowns and omelette) so my
guess is that it was ordered on the side and it hadn't
been touched by food or man and it was just sitting
there, clean and beautiful and almost irresistable.
It was nigh onto impossible to restrain myself from
grabbing it - if I had been alone in the restaurant
and no one could have see me I would have eaten it.
Leaving your bacon on a plate is like leaving your
baby in the car - it just SHOULDN'T BE DONE.

OK, here's how sick I am: If I had my phone with me when

I saw this tragedy I would have taken a picture of the

doomed slice of bacon and posted it here to remind us of

a wasted slice-of-heaven.

RockStar Looking Forward

Just flashing by to say that I am REALLY looking
forward to seeing Rockstar:SN tonight. From what I
gather in the forums, Dilana is still tantrum-throwing
and bawling and generally acting like a two-year old.
I'm so sick of that - this woman is 34 (?) years old and
she acts like a toddler (plus she looks 54 - damn,
that's some hard living she's had, if her face is
anything to go by).

And, why oh why, do the SN dinosaurs not like Storm or
Magni? I still don't get the Dilana/Lukass (hee) love
when they're both a lot of trouble? If I was
touring with someone I wouldn't want it to be a bitchy
crybaby (D) or someone who loses their voice 2 songs
into a set (L).

So, I'm looking forward to the wild card songs tonight and
no matter that SuavePorn trashes Storm's performance
I'm power voting for her.

Again, I say, she's just too much for them and they're
intimidated by someone they won't be able to control.

BB:AS Janelle Rides Again

hahahahahah!

I could not have WRITTEN a better Big Brother: All
Stars - this thing is cracking me up! I know, I know,
a lot of people think the BB:AS is boring, but not me.
JANELLE Rules again....first she was put up for
eviction by Erika, then she won the Power of Veto -
again. Everytime they think they have her out she
wins POV and saves herself or she wins Head of House.
The others have wanted her out since the first week
and, here it is almost at the end, and she's still
there. It's magical. No matter what they do the girl
somehow saves herself.....and they get so SPITTING MAD.

Love it!

Rock Star Last Bits

A bit more on Rock Star: Suave Porn (aka Supernova,
but I really like this dig from the forums)

DILANA, how could I have forgotten your long, pink
eyelashes? Before the show aired in my time zone, I
downloaded your performance to my phone, where the
screen's so small I couldn't see what was on your face
and kept saying "what's wrong with her effing eyes?"
"What IS that?" Totally ridiculous. Also? Too bad
they were too heavy and you couldn't open your eyes
all the way. And, in that outfit you looked like an
ostrich.

Then (I'm not speaking to Dilana anymore because she's
dead to me) while she was singing Every Breath You
Take, she chanted her own name "dilana. dilana.
dilana. dilana. i'll be watching you" with little
finger-to-eye-to-audience motions AND stuck out her
stupid tongue. aaaccckkk! cooties.

While she was going on about her honesty re trashing
her housemates, it was interesting to watch Lukas, who
got reamed earlier in the season for opening his
mouth. He was quiet as could be, but you just know he
was seething inside. Ryan/Lukas/Dilana must have
quite the thing going for it to have come to such a
head. Let's just get rid of them and let Toby, Storm
and Magni duke it out. My money's on Storm, but
cripes, why would she want to be in this band of
has-beens anyway? They've shown me nothing yet but
recycling.

Here's what I think: Storm should cut an album with
The House Band. That would rock.

Maime and I were talking about this at lunch today and
we have the ideal idea for next year's show. Listen
to me, Mark Burnett, this will work:

RockStar: The House Band

They already have more talent than most bands out
there, they have a great name - let's get them a lead
singer and send them out into the world.

RockStar: SN - Down to Six Now

Rock Star: SN (last night)
Buh-bye, Patrice. It's about time you were "aufed" -
it's been coming for several weeks now.
Patrice was the last of the Supernovices who were
clearly not going to make it to the end. Her
departure leaves us with Storm, Ryan, Toby, Magni,
Dilana and Lukas. These are the six contestants most
of us viewers pegged from the start to be the
finalists. It's like the competition is finally going to
start now.

I'm a big Storm fan, but I think the guys are
intimidated by her - she's outspoken, freaking
gorgeous, tall and lushly-figured, and stands up to
them verbally and physically - they can't shake her.
I think she flusters them - they become little boys
when they talk to her. I'm throwing all my votes her
way. She has by-far the most professional experience
and poise, and the best voice of the remaining
Supernovices.

Dilana is a face-bejewelled freak who has lived to the
ripe age of 33 or whatever and has never learned when
to keep her big trap shut. Does she not realize that
"the music business" is called "business" because it's
a BUSINESS? You can't just spout out whatever you
think, whatever you feel, and not have repercussions.
It's a BUSINESS - if you're going to get anywhere you
have to follow some (not many) rules. Supernova
members and Dave are legitimately trying to teach some
of the rules of the road to these contestants - things
they've learned from the school of hard knocks, for
the most part. Dilana thinks she's some kind of REAL
star instead of a reality-show contestant whose name
we'll all forget in a few months. There have been
hundreds of reality show contestants with pumped-up
publicity in the last two or three years but how many
do we remember now? They may have been quasi-stars
while their shows were on but they were quickly
forgotten. (Test: Name the Supernovices who have
already left the show this season. Even I have to
think about that one.) Dilana is not a star. Not yet.
And, if she doesn't learn just a bit of humility, J.Q.
Public will not like her and will drop her like a hot
potato fresh from the fire. I'm sick of her attitude;
I hope she goes away next week. (not a chance)

Oh, and I'm really tired of the Dilana/Lukas
we-hate-each-other show. The producers seem to think
we're all fascinated by this mess and continually cut
to the one when the other is singing or talking, and
vice versa, to show us the hateful looks they give
each other. Yeah, we know, Dilana and Lukas hate each
other; you don't have to throw it in my face every
second. It's like a freak-show within a carnival. I
guess there's only room for one striped-haired, kohl
eye-linered, jewelry-in-unusual-places, shredded
clothing, contestant on RS:SN.

Anyway, last night's bottom 3 were Toby (who is in no
danger yet), Magni (second time a row in the bottom
3), and Patrice (4th week in the bottom three). It
was a foregone conclusion that Patrice was going
bye-bye. Her consolation prize was that she got to sing her

original song "to the world" this week. no comment.

TV Updates: BB-AS, RS-SN

In other words, Big Brother: All Stars and Rockstar: Supernova.

BB-AS: (heh, still like saying that (ass)). Janelle was HOH this past week and she nominated Dani and Erika for eviction, with the aim of getting rid of Dani. Dani had different ideas, however, and won the power of veto with a LOT OF HELP from her Legion of Doom alliance. So, she took herself off and Janelle had to pick someone else. She chose that vicious-mouthed Marci, which did not hurt my feelings at all, and she assured him that the house's intention was to vote of Erika and keep Marci. What Janelle did not know, though, is that her alliance is not strong and the LOD alliance wanted Marci out, so that's what happened. He's the first in sequester-ville. He said he didn't want to go to sequester-ville because it's probably a dump in Tijuana or something - right, Marci, they're going to pick a dump for BB-ALL STARS. They probably have a beautiful, private, seaside villa somewhere in Belize or something - I wonder if the forum-folks know. I'll check later.

We also found out that Mike has the new power to de-throne a HOH and replace their nominations and he has 3 eviction ceremonies to use this new power (he did not use it last night). The correct answer was "you reap what you sow." ("ewe reap what ewe sew - from the three clues: female sheep, spool of thread/needle, and a surprise visit by the Grim Reaper).

The new HOH is George (after a painfully-stupid-answer-but-not-as-stupid-as-Dani's-answer to a tie-breaker question. "How many minutes were the housemates without hot water?" The answer to which I'm sure they all know is a week times number of minutes in a day and Julie gave them time to figure it out. George chose 350 minutes and Dani's answer was 308 - I think they were both trying to throw the competition. Anyway, after a brief celebration by George, Julie dropped the bombshell that this is a double-elimination week and he had to name his 2 nominations for eviction RIGHT THEN. Poor George didn't even have 5 minutes to think about it before he nominated James and Erika. Both are OK with me. But remember Booger still has the power to change everything on eviction night.

And the theme for the night was Prom - they were all in their best bib and tucker. I'm sure they were pissed off when they learned that the audience picked Janelle as the Queen of the Prom. Hahahaha, some things are just too good to be true. I LOVED it! They get SO PISSED OFF because "America likes Janelle (insert whiny voice)" and they just can't figure out that for most people it's because the rest of them are so loathsome and petty. It's just fun for us to tease and poke at them with Janelle.

Mom

Well, she fell again on Tuesday getting out of her
chair. The ironic thing is that her new lift chair
came that morning, but after she was taken to the
hospital. The lift chair would probably have
prevented the fall from happening in the first place.

I talked with the doc yesterday - her ankle is broken,
her ribs are bruised and she is anemic again, leading
the doc to think she may actually be bleeding
internally. He's also cutting her morphine because he
this the narcotics may be a factor in the falls. He
wants to have her primary doc do some further tests
for colon cancer or something but I don't think mom
will let them do it. In the meantime, she's still in
the hosp and they're looking for a place to put her
for a couple of weeks until she can stand. I hope
they find some place close and not out in the tooleyweeds
somewhere.

Update: she just called - they are moving her this afternoon.

More later.

Look at my Lovely Crown

I made it myself! Co-worker Jen brought in foam stickers for her birthday and we all made crowns. I'm sharing mine with you.

In case you can't tell, this lovely creation depicts a smoke-and-ash belching dragon (thinking "yummmmm") chasing after a hapless unicorn screaming "help"....all accompanied by lovely star designs. I unfastened it so I could photograph it flat - and, no, I'm not posting a pic of myself wearing it.

TP Thoughts

Maime and I got on the subject of toilet paper this
afternoon at break. It was one of those rambling
conversations that go strange places and this one
wound over to the Cottonelle vs cheap brands of TP.

My personal experience with Cottonelle is that it
inevitably plugs up the da*ned toilet every time I use
it - I have to leave the stupid plunger right there in
hands reach because even if it's just a pee, the
stupid paper will plug. I know why, too. We replaced
the toilet a couple of years ago and the only ones you
can buy now are those ridiculous low flow models.
Which means a simple wad of quilted TP or Cottonelle
will make a plug. jeez, we have to use the thin stuff
cause I don't want to spend half my life plunging the
toilet. You know what I want, though? One of those
newer toilets that FLUSH TWELVE GOLF BALLS AT ONCE!
Those babies have some POWER!!

Oh, and here's something I wondered about last night
as I looked at my package of white, thin, non-clogging
TP sitting by the toilet, not knowing at the time that
today's afternoon break conversation would involve TP.
Remember when TP came in colors? Pretty, soft pastel
colors. I used to like the baby blue and the pink.
And you could buy TP with designs also - pretty
florals mostly. When did TP makers decide to make all
white TP and why didn't I notice before?

Wild hairs. The bad kind.

I just tweezed out a 1/2" long hair off my chin - it
wasn't there last week!!!!!!!!! I know because I
checked!

Between weird skin spots (aka "liver spots" whatever
that he$$ that means) and wild hairs, I don't know
what to think about this aging business. Especially
when coupled with all the aches and pains that pop up
daily in different places.

Oh, and last year? I found a hair in my eyebrow that
was at least an inch and one-half long. Not really an
eyebrow hair - but a "head" hair that was much thinner
and almost invisible, but growing out of the top of my
eyebrow. jeez. I'd probably seen it a million times and thought it was just bangs.

Cake, Ice Cream and Potato Salad - Oh, My!

I fell a bit off the "diet" wagon this weekend what
with having a birthday party yesterday. I piled my
plate with a huge piece of cake, ate 5 bites and gave
the rest to my cousin. Same with the ice cream - I
ate less than half of what I had plopped on my plate.
I have this thing where I give myself permission to
eat as much as I want, fill my plate, and then just
eat as much as I REALLY want. If I had just put a
baby piece of cake and a dab of ice cream on my plate,
I know I would have had seconds.

What did I indulge in though (you just know there has
to be something)? Well, on Saturday I made a huge
bowl of potato salad - MY MOTHER'S potato salad -
which is pretty famous in my family - and I admit to
eating two (large) helping of it and then I had a bowl
of it for dinner. Nothing else, just potato salad for
dinner. My potato salad rocks.

Of course, everyone else makes their own "special
potato salad", just like their mom's or grandma's.
And most of them taste weird to me because they have
olives or radishes or (blech!) celery in it or they
use dill pickles or pimento. shiver with disgust.

But, really, they can make it any way they want and
put anything into it that they want BUT the BIGGEST
MISTAKE people make is in the initial prep when they
DON'T SALT THEIR POTATOES WHILE THEY'RE COOKING. I
can handle anything in the salad except for raw,
unseasoned potato taste, which you can't disguise
because adding salt while making the salad can never
completely cover that raw potato taste - the ONLY way
to successfully season your salad it right at the
start - dump a tablespoon or so of salt right into the
water with the potatoes and you can't fail. Add
anything you like after that.

I don't know if the people in the restaurant
downstairs in our building make their own potato salad
or purchase it from Costco or something, but it is
extremely bland - unsalted potatoes in the cooking.
I'm telling you.

Oh, (back to the Project) Ken went to Wendy's Saturday
evening and I said "no thanks" when he asked if he
should bring me something - and Wendy's in one of my
favorites! - because I thought I should eat some
yogurt and a bagel instead. I felt so virtuous.
(Right now I'm thinking I'd kill for Wendy's but
there's no one here volunteering to go fetch it so
I'll just live with it......)

I'm still hoping for 60 pounds lost by the end of
August - today's the 14th and, as long as I didn't
gain any potato salad-pounds this weekend - I had a
good start with 4 down by last Friday. Just 8 more.
I think I can. I think I CAN. I THINK I CAN.

Oh, and one last thing. Would you believe that NOT
ONE PERSON in my family has noticed that I've lost
weight? At least no one has said anything. NOBODY!
They better say something by the time I've lost 90-100
pounds (December - fingers crossed) or I'm bopping
somebody upside the head.

Project Update: 52 pounds

Hey, guess what? I lost another 4 pounds today! That makes 52 total.

And, guess what else? I just realized I'm sitting here typing this WITH
MY LEGS crossed!!!! It's been years since I sat in a chair and crossed
my legs. Of course, I'm sitting sideways in the chair, but still. It's
a moment...and I'm savoring it.

Next goal: lose another 8-9 pounds in August.

Epiphany of the Day

I just figured out why it's kind of a struggle to keep
this blog going. I think it's because there is no
audience. No one to bounce stuff off of. No
give-and-take of inanities.

It's like talking to myself. And I don't have much to
say.

weird.

I Am Going Mad and it Ain't Purty

I am THIS CLOSE to pulling my hair out.

The folks next to me are restructuring their filing
and are banging the wall, thumping crap around, and
driving me batty. I want to kill and maim!

MUST HAVE A SMOKE. RIGHT NOW.

I'm listening to the radio on head phones but can't
block out the thumping and desk-shaking.

I am going mad.

Hey, there's a New Primal Scream Album!!

I just heard a cut off the NEW!!! Primal Scream album.
Can't wait to get it.

"Riot City Blues", by Primal Scream

love, love, love.

Their "Screamadelica" album is generally ranked in the
top 10 of all British albums. Along with my other
FAVORITE!!! ---- the beautiful, excellent "The Stone
Roses" by (duh) The Stone Roses. Excellent,
excellent, excellent. Of course, I love Brit pop;
others hear it and are like "wha'?"

That's why this blog is just for ME ME ME!!!! I can
rave about brit pop, my weight, people that bug me,
and use crazy punctuation and leave out commas
because they take too much time to type in and it's
ALL MINE!!!! hahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mine, I say!!!

Rockstar SN Creep and more

I don't think Zayra hit one correct note last night.

With her odd notes and key-changing I barely
recognized Mott the Hoople's "All The Young Dudes" and
WOW that song is old. It's gotta go back to the
really early '70's. I'm not sure I knew that David
Bowie wrote it before Brooke told me so.

Storm rocked with "We Are the Champions." I think the
SN spooked her after the first couple of weeks because
she has toned down her "rocking" so much - I think she
just needs to do her thing and make them love it or
hate it but not tone herself down just for them - of
course, depending on how badly she wants this gig,
she's also smart for changing it up some. She's
really an excellent singer and performer so, in the
long run, it doesn't matter.

Zayra needs to go - my picks for bottom 3 tonight are
her, Jill, Ryan. Throw in Patrice and that's my
bottom 4.

Lukas sang "Creep" and the audience and SN raved, but
it wasn't that good - less snarling and screaming but
still could have been better - I'm done with the
posturing, which ruins all of his performances for me.

And the makeup looks like he's crying all the time.

And Lukas is not Marty, who totally owned that song
last year.

Marty. swoon.

Oh, and Maime is swooning too - she came to my desk
and grabbed my last year's RS cd she made from
downloads - which includes several Marty songs,
INCLUDING the totally-awesome-and-totally-unbelievable
-if-you-didn't-hear-it-performed-song.....
"Hit Me Baby One More Time".

Yes, indeed, that loathsome Britney song. Which was
transformed by Marty into something cool. Ah, Marty.

I love you.

Argh! Keep me out of the kitchen

The weekend went well Project-wise, but then last
night I had one of those times where you just can't
eat enough food. I made the mistake of eating next to
nothing all day because I was out, and then coming
home and "looking for something to eat." aaarrrgggg.

Here's what I had in the space of two hours:

Healthy stuff: a fresh just-picked peach, a cucumber,
lite peach yogurt

Oops stuff: a tuna sandwich, 6" sausage, a cheese and
pickle sandwich, about a dozen little cheap cookies

I guess it could have been worse - if I could have of
found more I would have eaten it.

So, today I'm back on track.

No one's putting a damper on my vacation

Bro Steve is recovering well from his surgery but now
says that he may not be able to go on the cruise in
Dec. They're making him take his vacation time for
his recovery. That makes no sense! He works for a
reputable place, they must have some sort of short
term disability or sick leave program. I'm hoping
that the use of vacation is temporary until they get
something in place. If not, I'm calling them to see
what's going on - Steve doesn't really know and if I
ask him he gets mad at me. I did tell him, though,
that he's paying for the cruise by the first week of
September whether he ends up going or not because it
has to be paid early and come December this will
probably all be sorted out or he can put in for
leave-without-pay. December will bring what it brings.

BB-AS No, Not Janelle!

I can't really blame Danielle for putting Janelle up
for eviction this week but darn! she's my favorite
player. She's up with James, who is being his usual
asshat self and pretending he didn't know Dani was
going to put him up, when she talked with him
beforehand about it and PROMISED him he wasn't going
anywhere. The thing about BB, though, is that there's
a LOT of time between nominations and eviction and
anything can change - you're NEVER "safe" if you're on
the eviction block. Never.

Update: Hahahahaha! The forum posters say Janelle
won the power of veto! She'll take herself off
(unless she's really stupid) and Dani will have to
pick someone else. I know she promised Howie and
Erika on the spiderweb that they were safe. She's
basically told Kaysar, Will and Mike they were safe.
That leaves Marcellus and George and I just don't see
it. Janelle's win puts Dani in a big quandary - can't
wait to see how it plays out tomorrow night.

Rockstar Supernova: Ahhh, Zayra

I finally found out why that awful she-devil Zayra is
still on Rockstar SN instead of getting the big-boot
last week - according to TWOP (my Bible for all things
television) Supernovice Phil had made it clear that 1)
he was only on the show to get exposure for his band,
and 2) he didn't like Supernova's music anyway. Is it
any wonder that last week Gilby questioned his
"commitment" to the band and then booted him? D'oh.

So, we still have Zayra to suffer through.

AND THEN, last night she was in the bottom 3 during
the evening, but not in the ultimate final three so
she was SAFE again! Which means we get the pleasure
of hearing her "sing" again next week. I had to
laugh, though, because I think no one was more
surprised than her that she was safe.

And, we lost Dana last night, which is OK. I was done
with her anyway. For her obttom-three-song she chose
to sing "House of the Rising Sun" which she slowed
down a little bit, gave it a blusey-twist and
over-exaggerated the words. It wasn't bad. BUT, it
wasn't Eric Burden, and it certainly wasn't Frigid
Pink, which recorded MY favorite version of "House..."

Nobody beats Frigid Pink's version.

sidenote: The Blind Boys of Alabama recorded a cool
mixture of "Amazing Grace" and "House of the Rising
Sun" that's worth a listen if you haven't heard it.

Overheard

The woman across the wall just said "I have to implement my fecal matter." WHAT?

I'm afraid to ask.

It's possible I heard it wrong - I hope so.

Boring to all but me

Of no interest to anyone but me:

I've been trying to figure out, based on past experience, if I'll make my goal of wearing a 20/22 size by December. Here's what I figure: when I was 160/65 or so I was in a 12, so computing one size for every 20 pounds, at 180 it'll be a 14, at 200 it'll be a 16 (that actually sounds about right), at 220 it's an 18, at 240 it's a 20 and at 260 it's a 22.

So, if I keep on the same track for the next 4 months that I've been on for the past 4 months, it looks like at 250 I'll be a 20/22 which is perfect. Most of the "advance clothes" I've bought are in the 20-24 range.

So I think I'm OK. But all my fingers are crossed.

Storm Rocks the Stars

There's an article in the Living Section of The Oregonian (local newspaper) today about Storm Large. I think it's cool that the paper has been supporting her since Rock Star Supernova started - they run an article every Tuesday.

She's doing a great job on the show - if she really wants this gig with Supernovea then I hope she gets it. I think she's about the best singer and performer there - Magni's pretty cool but I do not think he's one of the frontrunners. I'm more concerned about Dilana and Toby, than Magni. Storm said in the interview that she thinks the competition will come down to her, South Africa's Dilana, Australia's Toby, and Canada's Lukas. Of those four, I like Storm and Dilana. Of the two men, I'd add Magni and pick him, but I think there could be an attitude problem there. I don't Lukas much at all, and Toby is OK but not necessarily consistent - however, I think he might have the best chance if Supernova is looking for a guy.

Anyway, good luck, Storm, and rock it out tonight. I'll be voting.

Follow-up on today's celeb news...for what it's worth

Oh, boy, there's some good stuff going on today.

First, Tori Spelling is selling some of her clothes on
eBay. What? She needs the money or something? I admit
I just read the headline on this one because, after
all, it's Tori Spelling and I don't care enough to
even click the clicker. But, selling her clothes on
eBay is just too priceless.

Then, poor, mis-understood Britney never gets a break
this time her former pool boy has "leaked" to the
media that she's "not nice." Doh. Really?

Oh, and lest we forget Mel, he's apologized again for
his actions this weekend and is trying to negate the
impact of some of his comments by asking for "help"
from the Jewish community...what? He said he's "in
the process of discovering where those vicious words
came from during that drunken display." This from the
man who has previously made anti-semitic remarks (I
don't think I spelled that right...), who put out a
controversial (though popular) film on the Passion
which showed Jews as boogey-men and willful murderers,
and whose own FATHER has publicly said that reports of
the Holocaust are mostly fiction. Gee-whiz.

Where do YOU think those comments came from? I know
that when I drink my tongue is loosened and I say
things I might keep hidden otherwise, but I don't have
hatreds like Mel does - he let loose with a lot of
stuff that he's kept relatively hidden from public
view for a long time. But I don't think that anything
he said is something he doesn't REALLY BELIEVE.
Alcohol loosens the tongue - it doesn't make you spout
things alien to your nature, because at the time your
mind's too fucked up to make up that stuff. What pops
out of your mouth is the stuff you usually put
controls on. Mel needs to never drink again because
he's one of those really mean and hurtful drunks. The
worst kind of drunk.

"help me understand where those vicious remarks came
from" INDEED. They came from YOUR MOUTH, ass wipe.

I'm Totally Disgusted

Mel G is an absolute ass. He's a hypocrite, a
religious zealot and a drunk with a big, fat mouth.
He despises gays, women and Jews and, if you had any
doubts about that, the truth certainly came out during
this weekend's drunken sideshow-from-hell.

Anybody who hates other people that much is extremely
dangerous.

bah! I spit on him (figuratively only, of course)

Project Update - wahoo!

Ok, I feel pretty good this morning becase I just
weighed and I HAVE MET MY GOAL NUMBER 3. I am out of
the 3's. Just barely. Just squeaking by.

Total loss since April 4: 48 lbs

Yay, me.

Gotta set a new goal - Goal #4. Tune in.
