The Fabulous Life of Jobin Hume

The best show on TV

OK - it is only the last two seasons that I have been into it, but So You Think You Can Dance is SO MUCH BETTER than Idol I can't stand it.  I love this show.  I don't know anything about dance, but I am totally into it.  Now that I have said that, I can't help but cross my fingers that they shed the 3 tap dancers and the asshat who named himself "Legacy" immediately.  If I could be pleasantly surprised with a surprise 4 way elimination 45 minutes from now that would be just great.

I am behind as I post this thanks to TiVo, but I really have to assume I won't love the sound of tap shoes any more 2 hours from now than I do now.

Also, Mollie - you are officially on notice.  Get less irritating right away or Philip gets to stay.  He has to get rid of the shoes, but he can stay.

PS - Even though I was thrilled to see Paula Abdul leave Idol, I wouldn't mind her on this show.  I have to assume this bit is going somewhere.

Specific marketing

How large is the Halloween crafting market that they have manufactured tiny styrofoam skulls that are PRE-GLITTERED? Available now at Joann etc in packs of 12

Good signs

I am encouraged by the fact that I am waiting in line behind 8 people and the parking lot is full at a bookstore on a Saturday night

1-the economy must be improving
2- people are reading

I am not encouraged by what this means about my lack of social life

I am the corn God

My mom just brought it to my attention that every night my dad throws a gallon size ziploc of corn over the deck, bag and all, to feed the rabbits.

He responded that not only is it true, the rabbits know he is going to do it and wait for it.

Then he sits on the couch to watch while the dog loses his mind.

He informs me they think of him as the corn god.

I am not nearly creative enough to be making this up

Let the games begin

I can't believe it is finally here.  Ashley and Aaron are getting married and we are looking good.  Professional photos to follow - but here is a funny one of my girls before we start crying

 

My favorite people in the whole world
 

Courtney as the school principal 

New Requirement

I have had mashed potato bars before but never as yummy as this. I didn't know corn could be a condiment, but it now needs to be standard.

The ugliest Americans ever

I never thought that there would be a couple on the Amazing Race more objectionable than Jonathan Baker and Victoria Fuller but I was wrong. Lance and Keri take it to a whole new level.  Not only are they abusive to each other, they are taking it out on the locals.  I thought that tiny Vietnamese lady was going to have a stroke when he came storming through there and knocked over her chair tonight.  Seriously.  I can't believe he didn't get penalized for that.  The only thing worse was when she was shrieking to cheer him on when he was literally ripping a VCR apart with his bare hands, because "that is what a man would do".  I thought Phil was going to burst with laughter when Lance challenged him to wrestle right there on the mat.  I couldn't love these two more though.  Go Globetrotters.

Still my favorite reality show ever.

Typical Friday night, Rachel getting a little action

Candie is the victim of an unfortunate red wine spill by the waitress. This is fundamentally funny, but not as funny as Rachel trying to fix it up with the worlds smallest tide pen. I also like it that she is copping a feel at the same time.
