Arrrgghhh!!!


I started my month off of school (and work) by watching Cycle 2 of America's Next Top Model on youtube. It was the only cycle I hadn't seen. Now I am so frustrated!! Cycle after cycle, Tyra chooses the WRONG GIRL! In fact, I agree with only one winner of the show, Eva the Diva. She was incredible even though she didn't fit the usual supermodel mold. Why don't we go down the line, and I'll show you my picks for each cycle.



Cycle 1: Elyse (3rd)

Cycle 2: Mercedes (2nd), pictured

Cycle 3: Eva

Cycle 4: Kahlen (2nd)

Cycle 5: Nik (2nd) although this cycle sucked and no one really stood out for me

Cycle 6: Joanie (2nd), pictured

Cycle 7: Melrose (2nd)


Britain's Next Top Model, Cycle 1: Edwina (2nd)


If you haven't seen any or all of these cycles, I HIGHLY recommend you get yourself to youtube and enjoy. It's the best reality show by far, and every episode of each cycle is on youtube, including both cycles of Britain's Next Top Model (beware of annoying Brits who never shut the fuck up, still good, though) and one cycle of Israel's Next Top Model (Heey!).


In other TV news, Brian and I watched an A&E original movie, "Wedding Wars," with John Stamos playing gay! His brother is getting married, and he's the planner...until he finds out that his brother and the father of the bride (the governor) are working to pass a ban on gay marriage. Then he inspires all the gays across America to go on strike, and the world sees how it needs the gays in order to function properly. I think it was inspired by the recent Mexican strike (in hindsight I wish I had striked that day, too). The first half of the movie was really good, but it turned pretty bad after that. Nevertheless, John Stamos was great as a gay man, much better than his straight roles.


Charlize Theron is pretty, but the bitch can't say "j'adore Dior" even though she's being paid millions of dollars to do it. And she has an Oscar?? Did somebody say my NAME??


Enough about TV...let's talk about me! Mark and I looked at apartments on Saturday! I was really worried that we wouldn't find a place because there wasn't much being offered in the specific area that I wanted on craigslist. Fortunately, we ended up finding four really great two bedrooms. We made a list of the pros and cons of each place to narrow them down. It came down to either a 2bed/2bath for a lower price in a rundown complex or a more expensive 2bed/1bath with great curb appeal. We chose to apply first for the 2/1 because it's a great location with 2 parking spaces, in-unit laundry, and a deck. It is only one bathroom, but it's a gorgeous bathroom with blue tiling and a separate shower and bath. We submitted our applications last night so now we're waiting to hear back! In the meantime, I'm thinking about design and furniture!


I also think I've lined up a kitty. My hair stylist has one who he needs to give away because of allergy problems. He says the cat isn't fat, but it is really nice. I can't wait to meet it!



Well, I'm going home tomorrow. I can't wait to see my family, cats, and friends and also to go shopping at my favorite Salvation Army in San Pablo. Some of my clothes are really tired so I am definitely ready for a new style or at least new pieces. Maybe I'll pick up a GQ or Details at the airport to get some ideas. What do you think of his one??
