Hello
Ok, so who watches Project Runway aka formerly one of my favorite shoes ever.
I feel like this season is totally anti-climactic. Last season, I was super duper busy all the time but I still made time to watch Project Runway. From like episode 4 I had strong opinions about each designer, it was awesome. I was biting my nails to see who would make it to Bryant Park and I was crazy excited to see who won.
This season? I didn't even realize it was "decide who goes to Bryant Park" episode until the episode had already started.
I just don't really care. I don't really like Chrisitan but only because he's kind of annoying, he actually is a good designer. I don't dislike any of them, there isn't much tension. They try to create drama with Chrisitian but it doesn't really work. The challenges aren't really that interesting, they didn't travel anywhere, they didn't really have to use crazy material. They had that candy challenge but most people got through it by using fabric from sheets and pillows. It's like this group of designers is really bad and they had to dumb it down. Remember how ridiculously challenging the men's clothing challenge was? That was redonkulous.
Anyway, I like Chris and Jillian. That's sweet.
SIDNOTE. I AM SO MAD. I love the name Penelope. For years I've wanted to name a daughter of mine Penelope. Now this crazy movie about a girl with a pig nose named Penelope comes out. This movie had better be good, and it better not be a huge hit. I hate when things like that happen. Just like I like the name Monica but because of Courtney Cox-Arquette and Lewinsky I feel like I can't name my daughter that. Although James McEvoy is in it, and I like him, same for Christina Ricci and Reese Witherspoon. Maybe it won't be a big disaster for my future offspring.

HelloIt's been over a month since I've updated. Well, that doesn't beat my 2 1/2 year non-update streak I had between 2004 and 2007
Anywho, not much has changed. I still live in the same place, I still have the same job, I still hate the girl whose desk is next to mine. I'm still planning on going to Buff State in the fall to get my teaching certification. I still have a cat named Oscar (Today is his 1st birthday, btw) and I'm still single.
Yep, that about sums it up.
Oh yeah and I was totally at the Sabres game yesterday and let's just say, if you were selling tickets to see Richard Zednik's throat cut open, my seats would've been very expensive, yuck.
I have a hockey blog that I update a lot. If you don't like hockey, I don't recommend reading it, although my friend and I are pretty entertaining.
Here it is: Sabretooth's House

I luckily was watching the grammys and fliped and just caught the replay and not the act. It looked like he gave him a kick from UFC or WWE to his own team mate then they showed it again but didn't show the slicing. I didn't know that there was a blog called sabretooths house, I just assumed that was just a play place for kids. I'm going to have to check in on your blog there every so often thanks for the link.

I'm an addictOk for those who don't know I'm obsessed with the Sabres and hockey in general. I've always liked hockey but this season without shows to work on or homework to do, its reached fanatical status. If I like something I become obsessed. Ok I don't become obsessed with people I meet but teams, celebrities, things and people I will probably not come into contact with. As there is a distinct possibility I could one day meet some of the Sabres, I choose to abstain from becoming obsessed with them as individuals and choose to know their stats and possibly where they were born and thats about it. I don't generally care to know if they're married or have a girlfriend or if they have children.
Ok so we recently beat the Flyers in 2 games in 2 nights. I decided to peruse the Flyers website only to discover this:
Ok so no matter how many times I attempt to link to the video it doesn't work, so if you really feel motivated go to the Flyer's website and find it.
Its just them reading Twas the Night Before Christmas. It's so awkwardly funny and especially Marty Biron (for those who don't know he's the 4th to read and the Sabres former goaltender) He has the greatest accent. And then, because they like dangling him out in front of the media, Daniel Briere gets the very last line of the story. Oh man I laughed a lot at this. Especially the ridiculous santa hats they're all wearing. Enjoy.
And I just love this picture and like to post it wherever and whenever I can:
The guy dressed as John McEnroe circa 1981 is Paul Gaustad, highest penalized player on the team thus far and resident SabreHottie, (check out those thigh muscles). The gent on the left is the hope and future of the Buffalo Sabres (as his contract length and amount would indicate). Yes, kiddie bike helmet and all, this is the future of the Buffalo Sabres, #26, Thomas Vanek.

hehe- I just went to my first game this season, and someone held up a sign that said "Don't Panic! Here come Vanek!" I thought it was cute.

Streching itHollywood is really stretching it with these "based on a true story black people against the white people inspirational teacher takes rag-tag group of teens and turns them into lean mean school-sactioned team activity playing machines" the latest one I just saw a commercial for is that highly competitive, all the kids want to be the captain of..........the debate team...in what appears to be the 1940s or 1950s.
produced by Oprah, staring Denzel and Forest Whitaker. And that girl who played Michelle Tanner's friend Denise on Full House. Hopefully its better than We Are Marshall which bizombed. It also stars Denzel who helmed one of the greatest high school sports team movies of all time "Remember the Titans". Yesssss

Minority students are most often poor students or go to a poorly funded school.
If you want to see the poorest, worst performing school in a district, go to the one named after Dr. Martin Luther King. It is really sad that segregation still exists in this way. And cutesy little stories about some intrepid teacher who inspires a class of poor students to excel just seem maudlin and disingenuous.
HA! I am not 100% sure what this movie is even about. I just read Anne's description and it pushed one of my buttons. ^_^
And Peter, I can't tell if I am being for real or sarcastic most of the time. ^_~

I would assume that (e:james) is very sarcastic if not cynical...not in a bad sense. Anyways, the truth is minorities are at a disadvantage statistically, but by being provided with less from the very start contributes to the historical gap in education and economic status in a profound way. I don't even know if that makes sense. All that being said Anne, that movie looks bad.

First of all (e:james) I can never tell if you are being real or sarcastic in your comments. But that being said I think these movies to try and remind people that instead of having kids in high school, or droping out to sell drugs. Kids should try hard to stay in shcool and make a better life for them selves. The civil rights movement ended and schools got intergrated but things still aren't close to even. The poor not the black or white kids still get the worset education. I think that the Mega rich hold down the poor and if that means most of them are black also, so be it. I did hear a comedian say about the one about the swim team "Don't waste your time watching it they all drown". Seriously though even if the movie is Bad Denzel will do a great job in it like he does in all his movies. I think this one might have a chance to be good cause it won't be about some guy from a bad hood getting a chance. It will be about someone or some people who can talk and argue and are smart and deserve to be taken seriously. That being said I'm skipping it.

I have a feeling rich white men are behind these movies.
They want to tell poor minority students in crumbling underfunded schools that they can do great things if they just try harder. Rather than, you know, giving them the same resources well to do white kids have. If they fail, don't win the big game, don't get into Harvard, well... it is because they didn't try enough.
Is Ayn Rand's zombie corpse writing these things?

After almost 4 years...I've succumbedI don't get sick. It's like my thing. I hadn't run a fever or been sick other than some sniffles since December of 2003. No exaggeration. I get sick so infrequently that I remember each time I feel crummy.
I started to feel bad last thursday (a week before thanksgiving) and felt bad until thanksgiving, felt better thursday and friday and then saturday felt crummy again. on top of that we always travel during the thanksgiving holiday so I was away from home and my doctor until monday when he scolded me for not coming in for 3 years and then told me I had tonsilitis and sinusitis. Awesome. so I was ordered to stay home until thursday. So Monday-Wednesday has consisted of me sitting on my couch watching tv, checking bad gossip websites, napping and annoying my cat.
I suppose if I only get sick once every 4 years that's not that bad. It's weird, it was almost 4 years to the same weekend because I was sick the first weekend in December and its the last weekend in November. Crazy times.
Taking 3 days off from work has been amazing, I highly recommend it. It's great because I don't feel guilty about it at all, it was doctor's orders. Anytime I take off from work when I don't really need to makes me feel a little guilty. Basically because its really easy to make me feel guilty.
Good times, Sabres are playing well these days *knock on wood* I just knocked on my coffee table.
Come on Sabres!! 6 in a row!!*knock on wood again*

Na, it was my fault. I went last night & my streak is up to 3 straight Sabres losses when I'm in attendance. Going to the game on Sat so bet Carolina...

I take responsibility for the loss last night. I went to a game for the first time ever. I am sure it is all my fault.

i despise christian with every ounce of my being. I think he is an annoying little prick, and while he does have some nice clothes here and there, i think for the most part his cockiness is enough for me to hate everything about it. *phew* i'm so glad that somebody opened up the way for me to bitch about him on (e:strip)!
i like chris and jillian too. and yes, it does appear to be rather anti climatic but i still can't stop watching it... i'm sick
