if any of you tuned into the bachelor tonight, you would’ve seen that the one person to get a rose early was sarahfromnashville.

I think we all had a sneaking suspicion about jehan getting eliminated, what with his “hesitation” during their one-on-one date tonight. who knows if it was the whole “ooh I’ve been married before” thing with her that swayed his decision but I really hope that wasn’t the case. that’d be stupid.

tara… we finally saw her not trashed out of her mind for once. too bad it’s the last time we’ll see her (until the final episode that is).

but what’s most important is that susanfromkansas is still in the running! as expected.

so next week travis visits the girls at their homes! man, those parents really grill the poor guy don’t they?

I predict sarah from nashville will get eliminated tonight on the bachelor paris.

yeah so I’m back from my trip to florida. this marked the first time (as far as we know) hayley’s been to the beach and she had a fucking blast. she was very well behaved on the plane, too. much better than the screaming chubby little kids at least (why was this dad constantly offering little twix bars and snack-size bags of potato chips to these little kids? they were already showing signs of obesity).

anyway. trips to florida generally means:

- doin’ nothin’
- fresh seafood
- going to the beach
- chillin’ by the pool
- watching a fuckload of satellite tv

doing nothing and watching a lot of tv on vacation is so awesome. I was introduced to project runway, a fashion-related reality show on bravo that I’d seen ads for but never seen. what a concept! lesley will now have to download this show as well…

on a side note, I did not expect heidi klum’s voice to be as high-pitched as it is.

did you catch the bachelor paris? if you didn’t, the only thing you need to know is susanfromkansas is still on the show.

on a side note part 2, as long as these shows cast attractive morons with a flair for drama (not the good kind) it will continue to draw the viewers. that’s just how it works.

right, so remember that chronic-cles of narnia thing that everyone’s been going nuts over? well my dude alex floated me this email saying it was done by these dudes.

you really ought to consider checking out the heist and go from there.

man alive.

I’m sure I’ve mentioned this in the past but every now and then I get totally sucked into a reality tv show. this time around it’s the bachelor: in paris. hell I even have a favorite already! susanfromkansas. having a favorite makes it fun to watch, but it also to have that kind of investment when the rose ceremony comes around. I always threaten to stop watching the show if my favorite is sent home, but I don’t think that’s ever happened (stopped tuning in that is… my favorites never win). in many ways it’s a lot like how I watch the ncaa basketball tournament.

(for the record, my favorite on joe millionaire was alison)

right. so last week’s had one of the best moments in reality tv history that you might have heard of. we were yelling at the tv as allie g marched her ass up to the dude to demand why she didn’t get a rose. fucking hell! I was twisted up in a pretzel from squirming so damn hard.

this week’s episode… a bunch of group dates blah blah and a whole lot of air time for my favorite, susanfromkansas. it was almost as if the producers were like “alright, I need a tight shot on a face. any face.” and BOOM there she would be. at the rose ceremony it got down to one last rose and she hadn’t been called yet. holy fuck I was screaming at the tv threatening stop watching if she’s gone. fortunately for abc (and me) her name was called. of course! we’re safe for one more week at least.

[EDIT]
after asking all of my friends and co-workers it is official that only me, lesley and our friend kerri are the only ones who fucking watch this show.

there’s a publishing company out there that shares a name with slang for the ol’ Number Two. so unfortunate.

if you aren’t familiar with the randolph morris situation on the univ of kentucky basketball team, read up here.

for those of you who are familiar, here’s my rant. everybody (and I mean everybody) is too certain that we’ll (yes, we) be a significantly better team once morris is off his suspension and I have to disagree. he was hardly a factor last year (he did only average a scant 8 points and 4 boards as a STARTING CENTER afterall) and he would have to double his averages to be the kind of player everyone expects him to be. and not many people are capable of doing that.

mind you we have absolutely no one at center right now (our 3 7-footers aren’t very serviceable, maybe except for one) so this may be a slight upgrade but morris is not going to lead this team to the championship.

my prediction: morris will be so-so and rondo (our point guard) will continue to lead our team in very stat category including rebounds.

is how little their loss at marquette is publicized. neither espn nor sports illustrated sites have it on the main page as if the game didn’t even happen! what the fuck.

sportswriters who rode the uconn bandwagon really fucking hard must be shy or something.

in my post from a few days ago I was going on about how I thought uconn were so completely overrated based on their inflated 10-0 record in home wins against unranked opponents. and I quote the AP:

Connecticut (11-1, 0-1) looked out of sync after playing its past seven games at home against opponents such as Morehead State, Stony Brook and Quinnipiac.

well guess what? they had their first conference game against marquette (who aren’t even that good) and were embarrassed 94-79. my favorite quote from the article comes from uconn’s starting PG:

“The No. 2 team just lost by 25 points,” Williams said. “That just goes to show that anything can happen at any point.”

I rest my case.

you’ve probably seen this already.

if you have, congrats. watch it again. if not, congrats, you’re gonna see an absolutely hilarious skit/video.
