I watched the Miss Universe pageant last night. I didn't like that they changed the format of the whole show. They didn't interviewed the 10 semi-finalists, they kept interrumping the swimsuit competition with commercials/the La Ley's show and they wouldn't let the 5 finalist finish their answers on the first round on questions. Besides that, it looked wonderful and I couldn't be any happier that Miss Puerto Rico won :-) (oh, and for those who think it was rigged because it was held in PR, in 1997 the pageant was held in Miami and Miss USA, Brooke Lee, won that year :P ) Oh, and if you didn't know, back home ppl take pageants seriously, just like Americans swear by the NFL and NHL :P

I thought that I had seen enough of Jeri from Survivor 2.. I was wrong.

I'm having a crappy connection, so posts will be even more sporadic now until the Comcast techie comes on Sunday.

There's nothing on TV, just the N'Sync concert on HBO. I bet Dan is watching that right now.
You Know You're Out Of College When...

1. Your salary is less than your tuition.
2. Your potted plants stay alive.
3. Shacking in a twin-sized bed seems absurd.
4. You keep more food than beer in the fridge.
5. You have to pay your own credit card bill.
6. Mac & Cheese no longer counts as a well-balanced meal.
7. You haven't seen a soap opera in over a year.
8. 8:00a.m. is not early.
9. You have to file for your own taxes.
10. You hear your favorite song on the elevator at work.
11. You're not carded anymore.
12. You carry an umbrella.
13. You learn that "Bachelor" is a nicer term for a jackass.
14. "Extended childhood" only really pertains to your salary, which is a little less than your allowance used to be.
15. "Twenty-something" means over-qualified, under-paid, and not married.
16. Your friends marry instead of hook-up, and divorce instead of break-up.
17. You start watching the weather channel.
18. Jeans and baseball caps aren't staples in your wardrobe.
19. You can no longer take shots, and smoking gives you a sinus attack.
20. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 7.
21. You stop confusing 401K plan with 10K run.
22. You go to parties that the police don't raid.
23. Adults feel comfortable telling jokes about sex in front of you.
24. You don't know what time Wendy's closes anymore.
25. Your car insurance goes down.
26. You refer to college students as kids.
27. You drink wine, scotch and martinis instead of beer, bourbon, and rum.
I hate going shopping for jeans. I can never find a nice, cheap pair of jeans (like the ones they have at Dots), they are always too long for me... I'm only 5'2". But it seems that only the expensive jeans fit me. Gap and Express are the only jeans that have "short" jeans that are short enough for me. Meaning.. that I spent almost $100 on two pair of jeans this past weekend. They look good and all but damn, $50 a piece is a lot of dough for me.

I saw this bumper sticker on some old beat up car: Proud parent of an Inmate of the Month at County Jail. oooookay
Naked Man Attacks Woman, 87: ... The woman was talking to a neighbor when the naked man ran up to her, knocked her down and laid on top of her until neighbors and members of a landscaping crew were able to pull him away, police said.

Yeah, that was smart. Get on top of her in front of everyone. He probably thought he was invinsible.
Well, it looks like Hooters won't open in Livonia, MI anytime soon. The community and the mayor were against it saying that it will bring prostitution into their community (???). They are probably related to the people in State College, PA that didn't want the restaurant to open there too.

referral of the day: boobs. Someone really wanted to see them because somehow I'm #95 on the search results.
How come even though I have set my preference on Ebay to NOT get any special occasion emails, I get one? Which part of NO don't they understand?

I finally spent $8.50 (times two) to watch The Mummy Returns today. The movie was good, loaded with lots of fighting scenes, killings and amazing special effects. Plus Brendan Fraser looks hot! ;-)
