Bokay.

So how did it all go? The movies, the tv shows, the Christmas decorations?

It all went swimmingly. John understands when I get excited he's kind of along for the ride. He does a good job of following timelines and plans, cause that's what I do when I get excited for things, I plan them down to the minute.

Saturday was fun, I had a private tour in the morning then we went to Navy Pier to see MI4. Navy Pier was CURAZY. There was so many people there and they're all just eating and wandering and spending money and waiting in line for the movie! But we got right in, sat right down in our pre-purchased seats and ended up sitting next to a friend of ours we had just brought up in this exact context earlier in the day. So that was pretty fun.

MI4 was good. It wasn't great, it's not my favorite. It was less Mission Impossible, more like...Die Hard or something. Really good action flick, not that great of an MI flick. But still, that stuff with him swinging around the freaking BURJ, THE TALLEST BUILDING IN THE WORLD and  knowing that Cruise did most of his own stunts, including that one, well...it took my breath away, especially on the Imax. And there are all kinds of fun doodads and what not.

But they all kept saying to each other "you can do this," or "we can do this" or, "you can do this" some more. And it was really weird, it's like, YOU ARE THE TOP IN THE WORLD, you're the mutherfuckin IMF FOR GODSAKES. Of course you can do this, that's the FUCKING POINT.

So anyway.

Survivor.

I guess it's fine. I think Coach should have won by a mile. Or Ozzy. And seriously, stop with the 3 finalists instead of 2. The other 3rd hardly EVER matters. It's usually only between the two. And Ozzy should have been there. It should have been Ozzy/Coach/Albert with an Ozzy/Coach showdown and we all know it and Sophie got fairly lucky if you ask me. I like her, she's the most like me, that's for sure, but she didn't play some crazy game. She just held still really. Everyone else played their asses off and it sucks that a relatively non-playing person won.

But see, no one asks me what I think.

Although if they did, I would obviously have a lot to say.

Dean Richards gave MI an A+. WTF?

Re: Survivor. I almost wrote on your FB wall like 3 times during the show but was afraid if you weren't watching it in real time I'd be spoiling. I felt bad for Ozzie. And even for Coach. I feel like a lot of the times the winners are just..... I don't know. The people who play hard polarize. So it's like people are voting for someone just because they hate the other person. Do you know what I mean? Coach should have won. Also, I really do not like Brandon but I felt bad when he said basically his family abandoned him.

I thought this article written by Stephen a former player was interesting. The fact that the jurors all get to talk to one another is a HUGE flaw in the game. Why aren't they sequestered like legal juries? Also, I HATE the final three. It should only be a final two. So dumb. Should have been Ozzy and Coach.

what do you think about the concept for next season?

I guess the jurors do talk to each other, but I don't mind that too much. It used to be that the jurors weren't so sensitive I think. They used to get past it and vote for the guy who deserved it.

They must have fun while they're waiting for the game to be played. I bet Whitney and Keith did it up.

Next season looks kind of interesting, we'll see about the One World thing, but I am glad there's no redemption (although, that's how I assume Cochran will come back some day) and they have to go down to final 2. Have to.
