just being honest...

but WTF?! you have got to be kidding me. just to show you how disconnected our elected officials are from the everyday worker, read this. i can't believe our sleazy governor rob blagojevich was scheduled for an interview on contraceptives with The Daily Show and didn't realize that the show was comedy. how sad is that. oooo, it makes me so mad...

regarding the olympics. like others who have blogged about their concerns and issues, i too have my own olympic"issues. in particular, the announcers. save for a few, the rest suck. they're too biased towards the US and they say the dumbest things and they never shut up. and they make these outrageous claims just to put their foot in their mouth. example. last night scott hamilton was saying one of the skaters was known for her super-extremely-consistent jumping abilities just as she took a nasty spill.

lastly, do you think irina slutskaya would still have fallen if she was wearing her normal tutu as opposed to pants? just creating some controversy...

that's right. sarah and i just bought a super fast travel laptop from dell last night. now i'll be able to work on the train every day. by work, i do mean watch episodes of the family guy and scrubs. good thing i pushed for the faster processor. i mean playing a dvd takes a lot of power right? stick with me here people, i hear that sarah reads this sometimes...

...

and on a side note. yes frank, you are absolutely correct about Tanith Belbin. i tend to disagree with you on the maria sharapova remark though.

my blog is boring...

or so leejean says. who am i to argue? here's a recap of a night out with sarah, leejean, connie and paulomi...

-"my face is whack" - leejean

-being on the south beach diet is painful...for everybody else.

-"give it 2 kisses, then make a wish" - connie

-connie gave birth to dr. chiquita

-the victoria secrets in the oakbrook center mall is officially a "whore house"

-for you south beachers out there craving mashed potatoes, houlihans offers an alternative..."california mashers" made with cauliflower in lieu of taters. yeah, my thoughts exact

-and lastly, there was a lot of reminiscing going on tonight...which can only mean one thing...we're getting old.

week in review

*mini-vacation was great. check out sarah's blog for pictures. i highly recommend visiting florida in february as opposed to august.

*the first week back from vacation is always difficult...and super long

*itunes is now selling schoolhouse rocks videos. if you all don't get the "I'm just a bill" one, i'll be very disappointed.

*lily's going to the bahamas next week. florida or not, i'm jealous.

*caught a clip of "border-cross" in the olympic games for the first time. silly me. and to think i was expecting to see a large group of illegal immigrants trying to make a mad dash for 3 chances at citizenship...

*tonight's low is 0 degrees. Tomorrow's high/low is 13/7 not including wind chill. geez that sux. brrr.

*the bengali returns to town this weekend - leave your sunday open

* and lastly, congrats to rachael and jer for getting engaged! wedding tentatively set for 07/07/07

a little simile action...

being at work when it's 20 degrees outside and thinking about being in Florida in 3 days is like...
a. senoritis. i'm just worthless here. frank, back me up on this.
b. being in a class with her. simply distracting.
c. listening to people drone on and on about the lame superbowl last night. annoying.

george w. on NPR in the morning is like...
a. driving your car with your feet. yeah, you can do it, but that doesn't make it a good idea
b. fruit growing off of a garage door. it just doesn't make any sense.
c. getting your fingers slammed in a car door. F#$%ing painful.

game night at franks without video games is like...alice in wonderland. fun and entertaining, but a little surreal and freaky. did that really happen?
