Thinking that the show was going to start at 9 P.M., little did I know that it starts at 8 instead. Not to worry, I am watching it right now. Last night a head of household was chosen "there was a game and a winner". This person gets to be in charge for a week. He or she gets the special room all to by themself. It has a big bed, refigerator stocked with their favorite things and their own bathroom I think? This person has to nominate 2 to be evicted. So, Lisa was the winner. Of course, everyone was kissing up to her. Then there was talk of who they want to stay and want to go. All the drama. There was challenge. The winner of this challenge gets to go in the hot tub accompanied with alcohol. Here it is...There is a group of 3 with four people. 2 men 2 women. There are shopping bags with swimwear in it. They had to change into those and go into a uhm how do I say it, tank of jello like substance. Each group goes in and has a time limit to exchange clothes with the opposite sex. I can't remember who won, cause when I tried writing this in my log, my computer turned off. =0( All I remember is Lori and Josh. Now, Lisa is going to make her nomination. She has taken the keys of everyone and now she is calling everyone in to meet. Seems to me, that Marcellas might be one. Josh could be the other. How this works is the keys are in this contraption. It has eight slots and each person pulls one out and calls out that person's name, which means they are safe. If their name is not called, then they are evicted. By the way, Josh was safe. Marsellis and Lori were the chosen ones. So, two players are gone. Now there are only 10 left.
Ok, through memory, this is who I remember so far... The women: Chiara, Amy, Nicole, Lisa and Danielle. The men: Josh, Rob, Gerry, Marsellis and Eric. Let's see how many I got right. One moment please....I am back! Here is the official names: The women: Lisa, Amy, Chiara, Lori, Tonya and Danielle. I got 4 out of 6 not bad. The men: Eric, Gerry, Roddy, Marcellas, Jason and Josh. Again I got 4 out of 6. Wow! Show's that I am paying attention. Each person has their own personality, it will take me some time to explain. My opinion is, Josh is annoying. He comes off as a know it all, butt kisser and of course everyone has to manipulative. This guy just plain annoys me. The group isn't crazy about Marcellas. He seems quiet, not really interested in being there and sometimes he too has some arrogance about him. Amy is a southern belle and flirt. So are the other women. I like Chiara and so does the other members. She's down to earth, sweet and nice. This she can use against the others. My favorites are Chiara, Lori and Danielle. Chiara cause of her personality. Lori cause she is easy going, a mom figure and just fun to watch. Danielle cause she is a local girl from Fairfield, Ca. As for the guys Gerry cause he is the oldest one and he seems cool. Jason is heavily into his faith, down to earth and cool. There are two guys who look alike and are very handsome. LOL Roddy I think is the firefighter and he seems quiet. Eric seems like a threat. These are the two that look a like. We'll see who gets to be the first to be voted out, tonight.
Last night was the premiere of this series. I have seen part of the 1st and some of the 2nd. This one seems interesting. Here's the premise of the show. 12 people are chosen "6 men and 6 women". There are 3 groups of 4. In the first show, they introduce the players. Showing them getting a key, where they are from, getting there things ready and meeting eachother for the first time. They aren't allowed to speak to each other until they get inside the house. The house is set up very nicely with 3 rooms and the living set ups. Here's the catch. One room has 2 twin beds and a full size bed. Second room has 3 army cots and a bamboo bed. The last room has 4 beds with very bright loud colors and a glass window separting them from another bed room. The first group of 4 gets a 90 seconds to pick the room they want to live in for the next 3 months. Then comes the second group and then last group gets of course the worse choice.
I am not talking about myself =0) but that was the premise last night. The weather was very hard to deal with. My guy wasn't kidding about the it being that way during the summer! It did cool down around midnight or was it because of the ceiling fan in the bedroom??? I was able to get a good night rest and sleep. Today it's doesn't feel that warm and cooler.
A co worker and I just got back from our walk to the farmers market in Justin Herman Plaza. If some people don't know quite where this is, it's in Embarcadero One near the Ferry Bldg., in San Francisco. I bought a basket of strawberries, which I will wash and cut up to eat after I write this entry. I also got some pistachios. It was crowded and hot. Tried to cool off in the shaded area, but that didn't help. Sorry to say, I can't stand hot weather. It's not that common in San Francisco. It's nice to have hot weather, but not that HOT! With the heat and my nose running it can be difficult to handle. The SWEET ONE is now in her air conditioned cubicle and starting to cool down. These strawberries smell good. I better go and eat them. "yummy"
Ok, I know this is becoming an issue here. Matter of fact, it's even going to court. Normally, you hear families feuding about money involving a death. But this now it involves "whether to cremate" or keep a body frozen. On "Good Morning America", they interviewed a man who has requested to have his and his wife's head frozen when they die. He said that is family is against this and was told that they were crazy. Ted Williams the all time baseball great who is the main player involved about this issue. Seems that his son is determined to keep his father's body frozen and later sale the parts to science or for cloning. His other siblings are against this and just want his body cremated and to spread the remains in the ocean as requested by Ted Williams in his will.
Here's my opinion on this. It's plain and simple...Go with what the decease person's wish is. Personally speaking, my mother passed away two months ago and we did what was best for her and what she would have wanted. But because of William's fame, his son wants to just make some money out of this. Which is ridiculous and the act of a greedy person. Let the person rest in peace and let that person continue his/or her journey to the after life.
Had a dentist appointment scheduled early morning and decided to come in to work at 10 A.M.. My appointment was at 8 and only a few blocks away from my apartment. Decided to check out what is going on in the local and world news on television. While I was doing this, I had a nice relaxing breakfast. Then it was off to brave the warm weather and to see my dentist.
I took a stroll during my lunch break. It looked breezy from my window, but it was very nice and warm. Bring out the ice tea, cold water and ice cream! People were dressed in summer attire. Here I was wearing a thick black top and dark slacks. As I was waiting for the stop sign to turn green, across the street from me, was a man wearing black shorts. He was a golden red tanned, very noticeable. Just had a thought, it must be burning up in my apartment. I live on the top floor and I know heat rises. Maybe in my neighborhood it will cool down, the clouds do tend to linger.
My train arrived 5 minutes late but we arrived a bit earlier than the scheduled time. Normally, I see the usual people on the train, but there were some new faces. My ride was smooth and relaxing, thanks to my walkman. The train did seem crowded then normal. Once, I arrived at the station and got off my train to take my muni bus to work. There was a bus that came in, and it only took me 5 minutes to get to work. Arrival time at the office....8:15 A.M.. Not bad at all. Morning is going pretty well, except for a stiff neck. Hope the day goes by and it's time to go home. woo hooo!!
Well it's Monday and time to get back to work. After having a four day weekend, it's going to take awhile to get in the swing of things. It was great to spend a mini vacation with my darling one, as he worded it. I am looking forward to going back to my apartment and hopefully clean up my room. Ugggh. Yes, I have to admit, I have been lazy in trying to organize and figure out what to do with my things. It doesn't look like much, but believe me it is!
