Okay, starting to settle in to being back. Feels good.

Remember how I said part of the fun of Vegas is wanting to come home and get back on track? Yup? Well, I’m working on it. Take a look at that all over the place (and completely impossible) two mile run over there….I swear, you would have thought I had run 10 miles, I thought I was going to die. One week before I had run 3.2 miles, last night, I struggled with two, my body is detoxing folks.

And I was so pumped in Vegas, I don’t think I knew how tired I was, and last night I was just miserable. So now I’ve had lots of sleep, a nice (and horrible run) and I’ve been drinking so much stinkin’ water to clean out the system, I’m peeing like I peed in Vegas. NEAT HUH?

Okay, so … a few things here:

1. Yes, that episode of Survivor was the most hilariously excellent thing I’ve ever seen. I really disliked Jamie and to watch her set herself up like that was so much fun. And watching James watching her do it was beautiful. So diggin’ this season.

2. I’ve finished my next in the Pulitzer Prize winning books and it was awesome. I read “Independence Day” by Richard Ford and my lord. It’s a really intense book, but not in action, in words. Ford can pump more words into a sentence than anyone I’ve ever read. Each sentence is its own book, and its all just telling about 3 days in one mans life. Regular, tedious, boring things we all do and BLAM, you’re just wrapped up in this mans whole existence. What I like even more, is that this is the second of three books about the same man, so I’m looking forward to reading the first book, and the third. Beautiful. I’m now on to American Pastoral by Phillip Roth.

3. Who is watching Gossip Girl? Anyone? It’s awesome, I really recommend it, and it is tons of fun. Its 90210 mixed with Cruel Intentions, if that sounds good to you (oh I know I know, you all only watch TV when Nova is on) then GG totally delivers. Way fun. Oh, and don’t worry about starting late, if you like this kind of show anyway, you’ll catch up real fast. Trust me.

4. Last night on the British “Kitchen Nightmares” Chef Ramsay was teaching a young chef how to squirt some goodies into chicken skin, basically like frosting a cake, the kid was ramming the shit in there, ruining the dish and Ramsay says “Make love to it, don’t fuck it”. Oh my sweet lord, I had to stop the Tivo and just sit there for a minute before I started laughing my ass off. I love Chef Ramsay.

5. ANTM might want to be excellent tonight, because this season is not quite up to par. I think the challenges are all the same “You’re going to be a type of recycling”, “You’re going to be a type of green thing”, “You’re going to be a type of yarn” (they haven’t had this yet, but they should)…what we need is “You’re going to be wearing nothing but a thong in the Atlantic Ocean and you have to smile”. “You’re going to have to look graceful riding a bull being eaten by ants”. Something like that. Let’s pump this up and watch Asperger kick it.

That’s all I got today.
