AI..

i started reading lance armstrongs book last night.. it is a pretty compelling read. so far he's talked about his childhood, and how he started cycling, and now he has cancer. i started reading during DWTS and couldn't put it down..

last night was also AI, J-lo was the mentor this week. i personally don't think she should be mentoring anyone about singing. jesus... i didn't think anyone stood out as an outstanding performance. even blake sounded very karaoke i thought..

i do kinda love that ryan seacrest though. now i see what the buzz was all about back in the day when AI started.

tomorrow is the one month mark of HEK not updating her blog. that is the kind of lack of effort that i really appreciate!! someone else on my blog list is about to get blacklisted too... :)

home opener

today is the red sox home opener. of course i have a conference call for the first hour of it. :( MLB radio is a pretty cool thing though... i've been reading about the changes to the suites at fenway. that is something i will never see in person! but i am glad they are milking more money out of peopel that can afford it rather than raising prices for the common folk.

uchenna & joyce are sent packing.

just like uchenna and joyce, HEK & DD are sent home. they were so behind this episode that they didn't even get to do any of the challenges. sorry HEK and DD, you'll have to make dinner instead of going out for it. :)

EH is the only one with two teams left. but RH and MB are holding on...

i need to collect the money for this one.. next time i see you, pay me. :)

weekend round-up

i'm watching Babel right now.. it's reminding me of "Crash" it's about 4 seemingly separate stories. i just realized that gael garcia bernal is in the mexican part of the story. rrrrrr. mexican weddings look like fun.

the hunts left this afternoon with their animals, and believe it or not, there was no damage, those dogs are getting better. :)

EH, cath and i got so much wedding stuff done. we are in good shape for the shower.

JBP is coming to visit in two weeks and we just realized that there will be a red sox/yankees game that weekend. wooo who!!! i sense some good times ahead.

sopranos and entourage start tonight, the tudors is new, and amazing race and desperate are also new..... the dvr will be working overtime.. shiiiiiiit.

mulligans...

last night we went down to mulligans for the craic. RH made us do shots. :) good times..


the bar, and mr romano tending..


this was the light above the bar reflected on the copper bar top.


cath and i. can you tell cath was having a good time?


one of the more painful looking posed shots i've ever seen.

crick in the neck!

i must have slept wrong the past couple of nights. :( IBs seem to be helping though... and red wine will help me as i work tonight!

i bought the MLB radio internet package this year. i figure i can tune in here from work when games are on since i won't be able to watch them on tv. its kind of neat, i can pick which station i want to listen to, home or away, so i can listen to joe castiglione each time. :) what happened to the other guy? i notice that MLB also fixed up their "gameday" simulation web monitor thing. the graphics are nice, pretty soon, they'll have actual models of the players so they can be accurate when they step up to the plate. that is still free, btw..

when i was setting myself reminders in my calendar for all the games i need to listen to i saw that in a little over a week is the patriots day/marathon monday game that i should be going to. :( that was so much fun last year, and i'm sure its going to be a ball this year too. if anyone reading this is going to the game, please call me sometime during the day! send me cell phone pics, have a beer for me! maybe i'll be able to go next year!

this weekend the hunts and their menagerie come to the 'cuse for a visit. much wedding shower shopping will be done. i can't wait! speaking of weddings, i saw the season finale of Bams Unholy Union last night. what a production their wedding seemed to be. so many stars were there. she walked down the aisle to a song that reminded me of a graduation song, it was pretty, i love graduation music.. :) Bam dyed his hair purple and wore a purple velvet jacket. very nice! everyone wore black, it was cool, black is a good color for wedding parties.

i would have learned a lot more history if it was more like "the tudors"...

in case you haven't watched any TV in the last week or so, Showtime has a new series they are pimping called "the tudors". its based on henry the 8ths reign in england. they got jonathan rhys meyers to play king henry. in the 50 minute episode that debuted last night there were about 4 sex scenes. niiice. i'm not sure i buy JRM as a king though, he seems very young. i am recalling this show from yesterday because i just ate this juicy pear, and it reminded me of a super sexy scene where king henry goes to town on this pomegranate. i will never look at pomegranates the same way again.

great, now my tongue and gums are swollen, damned pesticides!

cath was struck down last night... joe and bill couldn't catch a break... if i had to make a prediction i would predict oswald and danny make it to the end.. that's who i want to win at least. dustin and kandice did a pretty impressive job last night with the piano though.
