Who Needs a Man???



HAVE PILLOW, WILL SLEEP: The Japanese, famous for their quirky inventions, have come up with another one : The Boyfriend's Arm Pillow. Consisting of a headless torso and a stuffed arm that curls around the sleeper, its maker says the pillow is not only an emotional comfort, but that its shape keeps the body balanced by supporting the sleeper from both sides. -- AP

Reality TV...

First off, I'm SOOOO glad Chip and Kim won the Amazing Race. No one deserved it more then them!

Drew is cute but what an unlikeable person on Big Brother 5. I suppose it was better then giving it to cowboy, the non english speaking moronic guy who seemed to have slipped under the radar to get to second place for a very rewarding 50 grand.

I'm no more a Bachelor or any of those who-wants-to-marry-me, you, he, she or it. I can't believe I lived through it with Trista... well at least she got married to Ryan. But I now think these shows are so stupid they make me feel silly sitting in front of the tv. Wstching just a bunch of think-they're-hotstufff waitresses/bartenders/gym or aerobic instructors and aspiring actors who want their 15 mins of fame. Gimme a break! Ok, so big brother isn't that far off and we grumble watching it. But it's one of our little tradition that been going on since our dating days... (yes you're right, excuses excuses :D)

Airline is still great and we have a good laugh every time we watch it. This past week, we saw someone that reminded me of my dad. Poor dude - that would the staff at Southwest Airlines :)

Amish in the City is FINALLY over. The city kids were unbearable throughout the show. Well, all except for Kevon tho' Reese, the gay dude from Mississippi claims he's a city kid is really yet another wanna-be. The Amish are one helluva odd group of people. No disrespect but as awesome as they claim it is, it looks like none of them were running back to Amish living immediately. All of them said MAYBE some day... yeah, like how I say 'yeah SOME DAY I'd return home NOT! :)

Survivor... so far so good. This is definitely another of our tradition so as long as it's running on tv, that's where you'd find us. But isn't the FBI dude in this season HOT hahahaha. Don't most of these big mouths learn from past seasons of Survivor? Control your gap and you'd be fine. Yet, day one you have idiots running their mouths. Fools!

Trading parents on fox, on abc... fun fun fun and hilarious. Boy, I thought there were disfunctional families in the US but wow(!) what an eye-opener. I knew there were stupid people in the US but WOW... I knew there were bad parents in the world but WOW!!! Makes for great entertaining tv though :)

The Apprentice is still way cool but I can't believe Trump got rid of Bradford (who is a real hottie also). Haven't seen last night's episode yet (DVR) but soon... gawd I hope stupid Ivana or dumbass Stacey got kicked out last night. Or weird Mr Peanut who insists on taking his bloody cane everywhere he goes.

I don't understand 'The Complex' so I won't waste time on that one.

Last Comic Standing is another waste of time. Americans seem to vote on who's cuter as oppose to who's funnier. Get a friggin' life already. The title says COMIC!! It's SO obvious the first season comics are SO much funnier and comfortable on stage. I am, however, glad that they got rid of caveman. Gawd, the thought of him sends chills down my spine. How can anyone hold a conversation with him much less think he's funny?!?!

I'm not watching that boxing one either. It's silly and I have a lot more interesting reality tv shows to watch then a bunch of beat up wanna-be boxers. The Benefactor... I'd give it ONE more chance. No on Next Top Model or any of those makeover ie swan-like shows tho' I'd admit I love the transformation parts.

I'm Busy!!!

It's been almost a month since my last entry. Time flies when you're having fun. I truly am!! ...and I'm beginning to really like living in Memphis. So it doesn't sound glamorous and it's not the most exciting city. But it's where the husband and I live, almost more important, where our friends are. Despite Marjorie's move to CT over the summer, Julie and Kim (she is NOT Asian since everyone calls ME Kim and my name) are still here for me and vice versa. We keep each other occupied with our little groups (mahjong, bowling, canasta, luncheons, more lunches and even more lunches). What would live be like without girlfriends!?

Granted, so some of you say I've been busy with absolutely nothing; I'm busy nonetheless :) People don't understand how not-easy it is to be a good wife AND love life at the same time. Okay, laugh all you want but my girlfriends say I'm a good wife - so I'd take their word for it. I am, after all, also a good friend. My husband tells me I am too - a good wife - and we all know part of being a good wife is to BELIEVE everything the husband says :D

Okay, the truth is, I've really been busy with playing Canasta on yahoo (as well as with the girls) and my new Sims 2. But more on those on later entries.
