America's Next Top Model

Oh god Marjorie is going to do horribly on the go sees. She is so awkward. I predict that Analeigh will do the best on the go sees.

Interesting that the guy said she is playing a model but isn't a model.

Oh god Marjorie you are such a tool.

I agree with the woman that you can't have a bathing suit model that is covered in tattoos- they are distracting and ugly.

Oh maybe it will be McKey that wins- they seem to like her. I just don't get it- i don't think she's that pretty- she is odd looking to me

I love Analeigh's black and white dress- that was super cute.

My god these girls are horrid- they are so excited that McKey was late

Oh there you go Analeigh did win- well by default since McKey was late

I think this is for sure Marjorie's week to go home

I don't hink that Elina has a lot of emotions- they are trying to get something out of her that she doesn't have. I watch Dexter- some people have no emotions!

I think Marjorie and Elina will be the last bottom two and Marjorie will go home. Oh I'm wrong it was Marjorie staying- she will be gone next week

OBAMA WON!!!

My god the Americans finally got it right!! While I do feel bad for McCain I'm still ecstatic the democrats are finally back in power!!

I am just watching McCain's concession speech and it is very well done. He is a very good public speaker. He is a likeable man- I don't agree with many of his policies or his running mate but he is a good man.

Ok here comes Obama- thank god. I'm exhausted and sick and want to go to bed but I feel I need to see this. Love that he brought out his family and they were all introduced as the first family

He is such an eloquent speaker- I really like his voice. It is so important to have a leader that is a good speaker. The US has not had this since my Bill Clinton. Unfortunately Canada hasn't been led by a good speaker since Mulroney!!

I have to say I love how diverse the audience is there.

Ok the earned the new puppy line- that was super cute.

I really like this speech- he does have to try to cross party lines.

Video of the Day

On the one hand I do feel bad for her a bit- I mean she's incredibly stupid and trusting. But when you are running for Vice-President of the United States you have to expect people to come at you. And while quite a bit of this made me laugh it is never funny to speak in another language to someone and make fun of them. That's just rude.

Another One Bites the Dust

Deanna and Jesse from the last Bachelorette have officially broken up. I mean they were never a good match anyway- as Patti put it today she was too hoity for him. I have to say this story actually made for a pretty funny afternoon- I sent this link to Patti, Lisa and Chantale and right away the emails started flying. General consensus- Deanna just needs to go away now. Although the majority seems to love Jason and wants him to stay clear of her I could care less- he was incredibly boring and whinny to me.

Speaking of whinny is it wrong that I found Jesse's depressing video actually quite funny?

Three Cups of Tea

I just read this book for my book club and while the meeting is not for another 2 weeks I still had to write about it. This is by far one of the best books I've read in ages!! It is soooo inspiring!! It is about a climber who goes to the Karakorum in Pakistan to climb K2 but ends up sick in a small village. He befriends the villagers and vows to come back to repay them for their kindness by building them a school. This turns into his life work and he ends up building schools all over Pakistan and Afghanistan. It truly shows what one person can do- and one not rich person at that.

I mean Oprah did go to South Africa and spend millions and millions on one school for girls. Of course it's great she did that for them. But this guy can go to Pakistan and build a school for $12000 and change a community. Just think what all that money of hers could have done!! And he's not trying to westernize or influence them- he simply wants them to have an education to better their lives.

Amazing. Definitely definitely definitely go read this!!

US Election

Just a quick little blurb about my feelings about the American election. Going into it I'm pretty sure that Obama has this in the bag. I still would have preferred Hillary but she just didn't have the star power and awe. While I obviously would like a Democrat to be in power I truly don't believe he has the experience needed. There is a lot of hype about him- first black president blah blah blah- but really is he qualified?!!? There was the selection of Joe Biden which I support- at least he picked someone who is experienced and may be able to advise him. But if you look at the two presidential candidates on their own McCain is by far the better choice. I really like McCain- he has proven himself in office and he seems like a good guy. Unfortunately he is trying to pick up the pieces of a shattered reputation for the Republicans after the Bush years. But he made a FATAL mistake in his candidacy- and that was choosing a retard as a running mate. I think he could have one this easily if he had not chosen her. She just ruined all of his chances- nobody wants to elect that retard. Actually I have spoken to people who like how she "speaks to the people". But they also obviously have issues.

Anyways- it will be interesting to see what Barack actually does with all the pressure and if he can live up to the hype
