Dear China, guess what?

*g*

So, um, China. You know that whole thing where you wanted to make sure that a dissident didn't show up in your country, despite claims otherwise, so you revoked Joey Cheek's visa?

Well, the U.S. Olympic team has one for you: Lopez Lamong. Carrying the flag. "Lost Boy", refugee from Sudan, U.S. citizen of one year. How's THEM apples?

Jet Fans!

Um, so how many Jet fans on my f-list are rejoicing and how many are worried?

(I personally felt like the Packers could have been mature at some point about the whole Favre thing, but the fact also is that Favre past his prime is still a great enough quarterback that some team could really use him to elevate their team. And I really feel like the Jets could use him.)

Dance!

Reason I'm spamming today: I'm actually cleaning. Which means for every chore I do, I keep running back to the computer. Ha!

So You Think You Can Dance

( My thoughts on the final four and why some of Nigel's comments were absolute crap )

Um, that only took 2 1/2 hours to write and folks, the bathroom is CLEAN. As are the windows, vacuuming (the initial vacuuming) has been accomplished and I'm just down to dusting, the kitchen, and a couple of minor repairs. Whooo!

I am (almost) triumphant!

Things left to do:

1. Two minor repairs (bookcase and door stop).
2. Iron new tablecloth.
3. Erect Junior. *snicker*)
4. Put away computer monitor.

I also need to get mom's cleaning lady's number. I need a professional to come in and scrub the bathroom and kitchen floors. And while I could get my grandmother to do that (my family knows how to clean), it's the fact that it needs actual scrubbing that's the problem. (I wore volleyball knee pads and got on my knees to scrub. My back is now killing me. And the floor only looks marginally better.)

Plus tomorrow after going to the zoo, I'm thinking of going by Hobby Lobby and getting mosaic tiles to tile the coffee table. For it needs help, but short of buying a new table (and end tables to go with), I've got to do something to hide a bad spot.

So You Think You Can Dance

Predictions from my mother:

Regardless of who wins, it won't be Courtney.

(I agree with mom.)

Mom and I both are in agreement that while Katee's the best all around dancer, something just feels like it'll be a guy.

And the opening number just told me what I've missed this season. I've missed Shane. I like his routines. They're hard hitting. It's good to have the lyrical hip hop, but I miss the hard stuff. Just watching Josh do Shane's routine showed me what we could have had for some variety. (So to you, Randy Jackson, I say "Thanks ever so for HAVING to have a dance show of your own to compete with your freaking producer and take one of our judges/choreographers.")

Vacation Update

Everything but the repair to the bookcase is done. Wh.ich will be done later this weekend due to Maveness' Law

(Maveness' Law: if you use super glue, no matter how careful you are, you will get the stuff on yourself.)

Tomorrow morning I'm going to the zoo. It'll be cooler tomorrow, I get in for free, and there are new bear cubs. (And the added bonus: when I emailed work to see if there were any proofreading projects to do, they mentioned one proposal that needed proofing and...they needed it proofed tomorrow morning. I said "I can do it before 9 or after I get back in the afternoon. But I'm going to the zoo.")
