You're out

I fully admit that I love Project Runway. The third season just started and I can hardly wait from one Wednesday to the next. Yesterady the creepy guy got eliminated. I felt somewhat bad when he started crying, but he still had to go. His laugh was creepy, and so were his manners. Plus the dress he made was UGLY.

I like the women who always dressed up, and the black guy, and of course I'm cheering for the girl from Minneapolis. We Minnesotans gots to stick together.

I often think I could be a designer. Despite the fact that I can't sew and can't draw... those minor details would not stop me. Also, I have no real vision when it comes to creating art, but you can learn that kind of thing, right? Maybe I should try out to be a model instead.

Oh my, how well you milk that cow...

I am realizing now, to my great horror, how common it is for women to marry their husband's brother. How strange would that be, seriously!

If I was married to a guy and we divorced and the he married my sister I would so not be okay with it. I mean... EW! It's not as bad if the ex-spouse is dead and maybe you have kids and need help... it is worse if you the person before within a year of your divorce to thier sibling. I wonder what introductions are like: Hello my name is Mike and this is my neice and stepdaughter Betty.

The good part is if you are a woman and marry your husbands brother you don't have to go through any messy name changes. I guess it's those small details that count.

What did you say?

It's official. I am going to be completely deaf by 30. I got a little treat Wednesday night, an ear infection. That's right. I am 24 yeard old and I still get ear infections. The even stranger part? It's swimmers ear. I haven't been swimming in a while, but I guess it was just sitting around in there, waiting to strike. Wednesday night I spent floating in and out of sleep, by Thursday morning I was exhausted and called work and got myself to the doctor. I did my drops, I took something to help me sleep and I slept- for the rest of the day, more or less. Everything is still rather fuzzy.

I can't wait to go to the Dells this weekend and sell Greek food. The loud clarinet music will help take away the throbbing and ringing, I'm sure.

On a happier note my cat now loves me again because we were able to share some quality nap time yesterday. She also tried very hard to kill a fly, and was doing well before she jumped up to try and catch it and fell off the chair she was sitting on. She doesn't really know what to do with bugs, they are just a fun toy and when they inevitably fly away and can't be found she complains very loudly.

Hostile Takeover

Since no one is writing anything I'm making this blog all about me. I can't imagine what I will write, but by golly, you WILL read it.

So I'm in the midst of planning for my ultra cool trip. It's getting rather distracting. I have a hard time paying attention to anything besides my trip. Of course equally distracting is my weekend coming up in Madison. Bewteen the Greek food and dancing (Mara promised) in Milwaukee on Friday and Romeo and Juliet in Spring Green Saturday, followed by Johnny Depp (yum! See the current Rolling Stone, pages 48-49, right Mara?) at night and then another trip to Spring Green on Sunday I'm going to have a very full weekend.

The only black mark on the weekend is that my cat will miss me, but I'll try to make up for it Monday, I promise.

One note on the world abroad. I keep running into people that say "aren't you glad you left Korea! Do you still have friends there, aren't they scared?" Yes, I still have friends there, but I seriously doubt any of them are scared. I wouldn't be if I were there. Why? Because the South Korens mostly don't care, and their apathy is contagious. It's a big issue, to be sure, but it amazes me how nervous we are a big sea away and how at ease the Koreans are, seperated only by a big fence (well, okay, so it's one of the most militarized boarder in the world, but whatever). I'm not denying that Kim Jong Il may be nuts, but I think we have proven that economic sanctions and threatening does very little. Not only does Kim Jong Il not seem to care much about people in his country starving, but America doesn't have the resources for a full invasion. We can threaten all we like, but short of an attack on America soil I don't see how Bush can enlist enough volunteers for two seperate occupations. In fact, we have been steadily decreasing our military presence in Korean in favor or Iraq. There's not an easy answer, but I think the efforts of South Korea to slowly open the boarder with North Korea for factories and tourism.

I'm getting off the soap box now.
