Top 6 Results Show!!!


WARNING -- SPOILER FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T SEEN THE 7/30 SHOW OF SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE. DON'T READ ON IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED THE EPISODE YET WITH THE TOP 6 DANCERS, LIVE IN A DIFFERENT COUNTRY, OR COULD REALLY CARE LESS WHAT HAPPENS ON SYTYCD.

So, last night's episode was awesome. I don't even know what's going to happen. Mark and Courtney really stepped it up. Twitch and Chelsie together...wasn't feeling it as much. Joshua and Katee are a dream together. I want either of them to win. I wouldn't be surprised if either Twitch or Mark went home and if Courtney goes home tonight.

My prediction....the top 4 are Joshua, Mark, Chelsie and Katee. And Joshua wins it all!

We see what happens!!!!

Bug Bites are the BEST!


So I woke up Monday morning this week to find a bug bite on the middle finger of my right hand and the forearm of my left hand. Bugs just LOVE me. When I went to Lisbon, I had a friendly bug that gave me a love bite, and the next day, my forearm had swollen to the size of Popeye. That was a lot of fun.

On our senior trip after we graduated high school, I spent a night outside with a couple of friends, hanging out and chilling. The next day, I had about 20 mosquito bites on each leg, and due to allergic reaction, they looked like giant welts all over. Really quite lovely.

This time around, the bites were itchy and a bit tender, but nothing that a little benadryl and hydrocortizone couldn't cure, right? Wrong. I woke up Tuesday morning and my entire right hand was completely swollen. You couldn't even see my knuckles and I lost a great deal of mobility in that hand. Pesky bugs! What's the deal?!?! I went to the doctor and got a prescription for steroids AND I got to have a steroid shot in the arse. Actually....the nurse technically said, "Yes, we'll be giving you your shot in the gluteaus maximus." FABulous!

So, I took it easy on Tuesday and now the traces of both bites are almost gone. Yay! No more this year. Thanks.

Six Words


So You Think You Can Dance.

Best show EVER! No need to respond with what YOU personally feel is the best TV show ever, because you're not changing my mind. Nope. I LOVE this show. I literally cannot contain my enthusiasm when it's on Wednesdays/Thursdays. It makes me so happy. If I can help it, I watch it the night of. No sense waiting until the day after when I can watch all of the excitement as it unfolds.

Last night's episode featuring the top 10 dancers was interesting. Kherington and Mark used to be strong, but as a pair, they weren't at their best last night I have to say. I think they're both going home tonight. Katee and Will rocked it together. So did Chelsea and Gev. And Joshua and Courtney come to think of it. Twitch and Comfort were on point as well...especially their hip-hop routine!

My prediction....top 4 will be Will, Joshua, Chelsea and Katee. Winner will be Will. Which I'm fine with. But, I just love Joshua's humor and stage persona, so would prefer for him to win. We see what happens. Can't wait!!!!!

Smarty Pants


Ya, I'm on a roll with posts today. Probably due to the fact that I've been up since 5 am for a board presentation we had, and now that it's over (phew!) I'm ready for a nappy...and it's not even 9 am. Blogging totally will help me stay awake.

So did you hear this story about UFC Fighter Rampage Jackson? Turns out, he was involved in a hit-and-run incident, right in Costa Mesa/Newport Beach area.

Not the smartest decision, buddy. Next time you intend to break the law...it might be wise to drive a more discreet vehicle...say, oh, I don't know....a truck that DOESN'T have your face plastered on the side of it? Not the brightest crayon in the box, now, are we? No siree. I think Rampage may have been punched in the face one too many times.

If he had been smarter, he should have been riding a truck with Chuck Liddell or Anderson Silva's face on it ;)

More Tees Please!


So I'm a fan of these message tees. It makes us all not take ourselves too seriously I say ;)

I discovered DeezTeez recently, and here are some of my faves....

1) Gotta love the Mom jokes...
2)What every guy WISHES he could say
3) Shout out to "Office Space"
4) When Jen & James have a kid, they need this shirt (They should have a kid just for that reason).
5) I wouldn't put it that way exactly....
6) 40 Year Old Virgin rocks!
7) If you don't understand this shirt, it totally applies to you.
8) Although seemingly appropriate at my place of employment, somehow I don't think wearing it would go over well.....
9) Ah, yes, some "Wedding Crashers" action

And finally....
10) Might as well throw in something completely PC, right?

This is just WRONG!

Call me old-fashioned, but when did it become OK for a 3-year old to dress and pose as a 23 year old seductress? A copy of Kids LA Magazine arrived at our office this morning, and my coworkers and I can't help but wonder what the photographer and art director were thinking during the photo shoot of this cover.

This is a LITTLE GIRL, people! Why is she wearing an itsy bitsy bikini, with her arms held up in a surrendering way and a kissy face?!?! The little girl is beautiful without putting make-up on her face and making her out to be a pin-up model. It just feels....dirty! Very reminiscent of JonBenet Ramsey I have to say.

We all agreed this is the type of stuff that child predators are after. Great that magazines like Kids LA are feeding into that. Listen up editors....next time, maybe you should make the kids look like ACTUAL kids. Heck, I wouldn't even wear a bikini top that skimpy. However, I do walk around with a "sexy kissy face" expression from time to time. No harm in that. All in a day's work.

Widdle wabbit


So I was walking down 2nd Street in Belmont Shores yesterday, and I notice a teenage girl carrying something around in a pink bag.

I assume that it's a little mini "rodent like" yappy pooch, but to my surprise, the beast in no way resembles a canine of any kind. Wanna know why? Because, this teeny bopper was carrying around a freaking BUNNY RABBIT in her bag. Is it Easter? No. It's July, kid.

The bunny was pretty cute I have to admit though. It was just so.....bizarre! Not a sight you see every day. So, I decide to follow right behind her on the street back to where my car is parked to see other peoples' reactions to this oddity. It was quite interesting to witness actually. Most passerbyers did double takes like I did. Most people actually smiled and pointed. A few rolled their eyes. And a handful of people looked straight ahead and didn't appear to notice.

I ask you though....how do you NOT notice someone carrying around a freaking bunny rabbit in a pink bright bag in public? I wonder what type of response this girl would have gotten if she had been carrying around a kitten instead? How about a turtle or a ferret?

Who knows? What I DO know though is that the gigantic bunny pictured in this post will surely give me nightmares this evening! Look at the SIZE of that thing!?!?

Too much time on his hands


So have you heard about the guy who is attempting to sit IN EVERY SEAT of the Rose Bowl Stadium in a matter of 2 days? Story here.

The guy's name is Jim "Mouth" Purol. Why does he have the word "mouth" in his name, you ask? Well...reason being is that he holds a Guinness World Record already for fitting 280 straws in his mouth (pictured in this post). Wow, buddy...that's quite a feat, I must say.

Good 'ol Jim actually holds 22 Guinness World Records. And he insists that he will sit in all 92,542 seats of the Rose Bowl stadium by 10 a.m. tomorrow, Wednesday.

Jim is quite a catch, wouldn't you say? Brace yourselves ladies because he IS single. There is still hope for some lucky woman out there to snag this guy. One can only dream.

2nd guessing this whole kayaking thing


So the man and I have been talking about taking some kayaking lessons together this summer. This all sounds great in theory....until I hear about this story.

Yeaaaaahhhhh, that is freaking INSANE! A woman is minding her own business while kayaking in Catalina...and she feels a little "tap tap," right? She thinks.... "oh, it must be a whale,"...yeah, that ain't no whale, lady! It was a freaking GREAT WHITE SHARK!!!! If I had been her, I would have hyperventilated, passed out, and quickly became that sharky's lunch.

This lady is one tough cookie. After sharky catapulted her out of the kayak, she landed on the shark's back and then swam as fast as she could the other direction to safety. Geez, I'm thinking maybe we take some classes ON LAND instead after that story!!

I KNEW I liked Watermelon!

So I'm listening to the news this morning, and two words grab my attention..... "Watermelon" and "Sex." I'm intrigued. Please continue!

Apparently, according to a recent study, watermelon may spice up your sex life! Full story here. Reason being is it contains a nutrient called citrulline that relaxes the body's blood vessels....similar to Viagra!

Oh, reeeeeeally? I bet you that watermelon sales will be spiking considerably over the holiday weekend. Yesiree! Maybe I'll be swinging by the grocery story on my way home today actually....you know...just to pick up some necessities ;)

P.S. I sooo want to learn how to make the fun watermelon flower sculpture thingy pictured above!
