Average Joe

I watched 'Joe Millionaire' tonight. Gotta say, I'm not finding anyone there at all very likable, even David.

And I watched 'Average Joe' tonight on NBC. I know, it's a terrible idea, but I really liked the show. Kathy Griffith was hilarious. I think she might have some horrible contract with ABC though after winning celebrity mole... but she seems happy to do it as a pro-reality tv person. Anyway, if I wasn't sure before, I definitely am now- I adore geeks. I really do. And some of the guys on there... ohhhhhhh SO yummy. Brad especially. *fans self* But I could really go for some of the other guys- though some are significantly too old for me. But there's a whole handful of guys I like on that show. Tareq is absolutely adorable. I am utterly attracted to intelligence. It's a total weakness of mine. The guy's younger than me and is already a college professor! Reminds me of some guys I had crushes on in high school. And the accent... mmmmmm! Anyway, those are my two favorites for me *G* But lots of the geeks (like Dennis- when he said he didn't drink because he liked to be in control of his life, etc I could have swooned- and Marc who's very adorable) were absolutely adorable. And I totally love the Teddy bear types, too. Tall would probably be very hard to get used to... but I don't mind a little weight on a guy. They were all pretty quirky... though it's WEIRD seeing the dynamics of them all together. Very odd. The geeks and the drunk party guys. And what happens when they feel the need to pick on each other to make the others feel better. Though showing the others off to make themselves look better was very weird indeed.

Anyway, the chica handled it as I expected she would. Some of those facial expressions- LOL! But then she seemed to get into it all right. And the guys really *do* have personalities that are very adorable. My thought is this twist they speak of is going to involve good looking guys(perhaps ones with no personality at all).
Anyhoo... it was interesting. And I'm totally infatuated with the 'geeks' on the show. Oohhh SO my type! As though I ever had a doubt... Though I love how the guys were saying so much about how she should look beyond their appearances, etc, then the second they get away they talk on-camera about how hot she is. LOL!

Ug.. head hurts... am tired... have done NO work for tomrrow's meeting. I'm thinking of skipping it again. Gods, I'm terrible!!! I just need sleep, after today. And tomorrow I have a possible lunch date, and then need to get my flu shot and clean. We'll see. I may send them work in e-mail and skip it though.

An article from CNN about how many sites are frozen in time or not updated enough. REALLY sad to think that I contribute to this by having at least 18 of these frozen-in-time sites/blogs right now. Yikes!!!

I finished work, BSed an e-mail to advisor, and am taking the morning off to sleep and take pain meds. Yay!

Most exciting moment of night: Cat chasing a moth all over my bedroom, finally taking a leap off my dresser and pinning it to the ground where he proceeded to chew, spit it out, and pat it around the floor until it stopped moving.

Second most exciting moment of night: Watching Kizuna 1-3. Interesting. I don't quite know what to make of the pairing... but I'm certainly digging the hurt/comfort relationship. Though the dominance/submission vibes are curious. And the sex is lovely *G* Weird, though. Not quite sure what to make of it, still. I think my problem is that there really isn't anything BUT a story about their relationship. Not much of a plot... (there is a little, but it's not as much as any other anime I've ever watched) just them... and tension... and sex... and worry... and making up... and protesting followed by quick advances. Don't get me wrong, the guys are wonderful... I think I just need more than relationship advancement to string an episode together.

Just FYI... there were some problems in LJ last night and anyone using S1 style system (the original way of setting up styles) had their journal or parts thereof changed to the default style. Don't freak, just change it back to the way you like it. :-)
On an unrelated note... I tried changing my 'browse options' last week back to the old way LJ was... I remember how much trouble I had when it changed the first time. And now I've found I can't go back! LOL!

Second item of business... I fnally got caught up on the SF Challenge feedback/replies. FINALLY! Only, what, 2 weeks? LOL! I'm pathetic! But caught up. Now if I could just get caught up on everything else, I'd be a happy camper...

Owies!

Okay... I know I've mentioned a number of times how horrid and idiotic I think people who protest Harry Potter for religious reasons are (especially when they don't bother to read the books themselves) but harassing CHILDREN?!!!!!

http://www.paysonroundup.com/section/frontpage_lead/story/13208

I mean, okay, it looks like some of the kids were more intelligent than the protesters and felt sorry for them, not threatened, thank goodness! But honestly, yelling at poor children to scare them?!!! What the heck is their problem?!!! Do they actually think scaring children is a good thing to do, religiously? Okay, bad question; these are people whose entire religion revolves around scaring people in order to get membership. Dangling spider over the flames of hell and all that. Haven't we grown up any in the last 200 years? Whatever happened to love thy neighbor? Does it take a back-burner to scare thy neighbor to save his soul? Okay, I realize they think that they're saving the kids in the end... but this is not the way to go about it. And since when is assuming what God would want a good thing either? Seriously. I'm completely fed up with this kind of thing. Damn idiots don't even bother to read the books, they just get scared of the idea of going to hell and follow along like damn sheep. I'm sorry, but fear is not a good or healthy reason to be good or believe in anything!! And in the process, they harass young children. Yeah. I'm sure that's really putting you on the list to heaven now.

Sorry, didn't mean to rant... I'm just frustrated at humanity right now. And arm still hurts. Ow...

*sob*

Just watched 8 Simple Rules.
Twas the episode where John Ritter's character dies on the show. Ohhh I cried through the whole damn show. Non-stop. Half a box of tissues and a few napkins, minimum. So sad!!! I mean, it was a wonderful show and I think it helped the kids deal with it especially. But my gods, that must have been impossible to film. I had a hard time watching it and I didn't really even know the guy. SO sad. *sniffles*
