All Kinds of Stuff!

You guys are gonna start giving me a big head.  I was all sad because there was a meme I wanted to do...and someone finally tagged me.  And NOW, I'm feeling really cool because Jenny also tagged me!  woot!  Happy Dance.

Despite having a horrifically emotional day at work yesterday, I had a nice evening.  Which, of course, started with weigh-in and ended with a dinner that I didn't have to cook, a manicure, and some great TV. 

Weigh In:  This week, despite copious amounts of cinnamon swirl french toast with caramel sauce, I STILL LOST!!  1.1 pounds.   Yeah! (which brings me back up to losing 25 pounds - so now I don't feel so bad having that magnet that says I did it, because I actually did!)

ANTM was kinda boring.  The girls had to learn posing.  Some of them were really terrible, but the creepy dude thought they were good, so, I'll just shut up.  Renee finally admits she's a bitch and then tries to be nice, which most of the girls are like, "cool!" but Diana is like, "ah, heeeeellll nah!"  Which makes me laugh.  What killed me is that wasn't it Brittany last week that was getting into it with Renee?  And now Renee is doing her hair?  It's scary Raggedy Ann hair, but it's her hair!  ::sigh::  The challenge is to move through a laser maze ala that movie with Sean Connery and Katherine Zeta Jones (I can't remember the name of it)  Anyway, and even with her plumpness Whitney wins!  AND Renee can't get through it - and she's the only one, and OMG she needed the prize so she could sell it and pay off her bills because she and her husband are broke and wha wha.  And, at this point I couldn't help but yell, "Bitch!  Get a job then!"  I mean, if a reality show is the your secret weapon against debt, then, uh, I have no words.

Anyway, the prize was an actual prize.  It wasn't a weird trophy or a small donation to a charity.  It was ugly, but real, nonetheless.  It was a charm bracelet.  (hello 1987!)  And seriously, it's a good thing a big girl won it, because if Jaslene had won it, she'd be fielding questions about being in a chain gang.

Then the girls had their photo sessions.  Ironically, they are posing as dead models. (don't we wish!)  Jael has a hard time and Jay finds out that her friend died.  And he feels bad, but not bad enough to stop before he tells her, "but I really need you to rock this photo"  I mean, he could have had a little more tact and said, "she's dead, you're supposed to look dead, can't you pull inspiration from that?" 

Renee's picture of being poisoned was really pretty.  Dionne's picture of being shot in the head was lame, as was Felicia's decapitation picture (the writers on this show are bat shit crazy!), Jaslene looked scary as usual after she fell from that building.  Diana looked soft while laying in a hallway all sewed up (I love that the photographer thought she did a good job despite the tiny hallway - like OMG you fit in that hallway lard-ass?!)  Whitney was alright laying on a couch stabbed.  I thought Brittany's electrocution was the best and even the annoying Natasha took a good photo as being drowned.  Anyone I didn't mention, wasn't worth remembering apparently.  (who's left?)  Oh!  Sarah.  I can't even remember what happened to her.  That's probably not a good sign.

The judges loved most of the photos.  But in the end, Felicia was sent home because no one can come on Tyra's show and claim to be her mini me without feeling her wrath!

I think you all know by now that I'm pretty much over LOST.  Mark and I started watching it in Season 2 and we LOVED it. (well, we started watching Season 1 during Season 2)  And so it's our show we watch together.  This is the ONLY reason I have continued to watch it.  I would much rather be in bed at 10:00 p.m. 

Last night's episode has almost redeemed my faith in the show!  I love me some John Locke.  Basically, it went into his life and how he got in the wheelchair.  Apparently, some rich young guy came to Locke and asked about Locke's dad because his dad was set to marry the guy's mom - and the guy suspected that LD was a con-man.  Locke denied knowing him and then went to his dad and told him to break off the engagement because the guy was on to him and if he didn't, Locke would tell them all.

The next day, the guy is dead.  And the FBI come looking for Locke to find out more.  Locke goes to his dad and accuses him of killing the young guy and the dad is like, I didn't! and Locke says, "but you are supposed to not be here anymore" and his dad says, "well we aren't getting married."  And they kind of get into it and then Locke is thrown through a glass window by his father - down 8 eight stories to the ground below.  And then he's in the hospital, the FBI telling him that his dad escaped to Mexico and they can't find him - and then he gets a wheelchair.

On LOST Island, Sayid, Locke, Russo, and Kate are watching Jack play football with the others.  Late at night, they go in.  Kate goes into Jack's house to find him playing the piano. He tells her to go away.  Some Others come in and take Kate at gunpoint while Jack says, "don't hurt her."  Sayid is captured outside, and Russo, the only smart one in the bunch is still in the bushes, watching.  Locke has made his way into Ben's house.

AND OMG I love me some Locke when he's in there talking to Ben.  Locke's goal - to find the submarine and blow it up.  During this conversation, he finds out that Jack made a deal with the Others to go home via that submarine.  Ben also tells him a story about imagining a box (John is familiar with boxes) and that you can take a box, and whatever you imagine being in that box will be there (because of the wonderful island) and John replies, "I hope you can imagine a big box with a submarine" and I snort!  Because OMG Locke you kill me!

Also, at one point, Alex comes in contact with Sayid, who tells her that she looks like her mother.  And Alex says, "My mother is dead" and Sayid replies, "that's what they told you" and then the Other hits him with something ouchie.

Locke also points out that he understands/connects with the island better than Ben because Hi! Ben's in a wheelchair and Locke isn't.  Woot!  ::hugs::  Locke ends up blowing up the submarine (leaving poor Jack on the island) and when he is lead away - Ben shows him something else.  Locke's dad, tied up and gagged in a room with the Others.  Woot!

You suck! You had those yummy cinnamon things that they keep showing commercials for and you still lost!

[Jenny]

You're an ANTM fan?

You are so my friend.

[Lindsey]

I'm glad you told me about ANTM, you know, so I didn't have to watch it myself.

[Blondie]

I am so back into Lost. I was afraid the glory days were over for good, but I think it's only going to get better. Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Laurel]

Wednesday's LOST was actually awesome! If they continue on this way, I feel that my faith in the show will be justified!!

[Nicole P.]

I did actually make it home for ANTM last night. We got back from the hospital right as it started!

[Freckle Face Girl]

Congrats on the 25! That is amazing!

[Crys]

Yay for you, hot stuff! :)

I have not been able to get back into Lost. Good for you being dedicated and sticking with it.

ANTM...I actually got to watch it last night! YAY!

[Alyndabear]

Hooray for weight loss! And being tagged! (You should check out my blog and gimme your answer). :P

That's so morbid, posing like they're dead.. but since most of the ANTM girls are so freaking irritating, it's quite clever, too.

[B. Good]

*ahem* I tagged you too! Check it out :) And CONGRATS on the weight loss! Back in the negative direction!

So, I love your recaps. I too watched the first Season of LOST on dvd while watching the second Season on TV. ANd FELL IN LOVE! Then the first half of THIS season was a BORE! I hated it! These last 3 episodes FINALLY picked back up for me, and now I'm more into it. But......its still not quite as exciting as the first 2 seasons. I think all this interaction with "the others" is what's irritating me. I'on care about them! LOL

And I also cursed at Renee when she was whining about paying her bills. Bitch, join the club!
