Matches, ginger ale, reality TV

* I don't have my list on which characters I matched up with, but I
remember that Hagrid was #1. Huh. Must be my love of animals. I was
relieved that Draco and Snape were both at the bottom of the list.

* Sussex ginger ale is quite good! I'm prone to motion sickness, and I
use a good bottle of ginger ale to prevent it. I don't take Gravol - it
may stop the sickness but it also has the effect of making me feel I'm
stoned. I alternate between very giddy and asleep, with nothing in
between. So ginger ale it is.

* My mother and I are now watching Survivor together. We high-fived each
other when Jerri was voted off, and was relieved last night when it was
Amber. I was relieved because the editing at the beginning of the show
suggested there was only room for one cute young female on the show now,
and we like Elizabeth so much better. My mother started crying during
the Michael gets burned episode because Elizabeth was crying, and Mom
can't bear to watch Elizabeth cry.

I did watch Big Brother last year - because it was on each night and
Survivor wasn't. It was a poor man's substitute. I started phoning to
get people voted out because of how irritating they were. Karen should
have been told not to chew gum on TV! "Chicken Man" George got offensive
- he'd accidentally killed his best friend on a hunting trip, and then
used ketchup to simulate gunshot wounds on TV. 

I tried Boot Camp for the first episode - decided I don't need to watch
a lot of yelling. I work in the Collections department at work and get
yelled at each day by customers who are offended at the notion that we
expect them to pay for their satellite TV service. But I'm allowed to
hang up on them when they get like that. :-)

I'm sorry I missed The Mole though. I watched the final episode and
realized that I missed out on something intriguing.

The Eco-Challange last week was interesting. I admit that I scoffed at
the Playboy Extreme team at first, but those bunnies turned out to be
tough little critters. It seemed so typical that they tore a hole in the
boat on rocks - but they did a far better job of patching and repairing
it than expected, and they certainly did it better than I could have.
And any kind of race that involves pausing to pick leeches off is not my
kind of race at all. :-)

Gotta go, my parents have a new computer desk and since I'm the one who
likes to read directions, I get to put it together. Whee.
