Excitment
Not much of it on this blog these days. My sincerest apologies to both of you.
I mean, sure, I can get excited about things like Ted Stevens indictment, but the general election is missing a certain je ne sais quoi.
This is coupled with high levels of unforeseen busyness and my crazy upstairs neighbors. There have been more coffees, but less blogging. (There’s also the fact that I don’t have anything I’m desperately trying to avoid, like my work.)
Seriously, my upstairs neighbors have reached a fever pitch in their nocturnal stomping/shifting of furniture. Last night’s activity included five hours (from 11:30p til at least 4:30a) of door slamming, running, the dropping of numerous items. Shocking, last night was missing the ritual 1:45a leaving-the-faucet-running-for-five-minutes!
It’s like the two minute hate, but longer, and I do the hating.
Anyway, I’m going to try to step up the blogging again. I miss it and I feel like it makes me pay more attention to the world. I’ve got some women’s issues, but they’re on my laptop and I can’t find them, because of the tired.
Also, I missed the finale of Farmer Wants a Wife, about which I’m totally gutted. How will I ever know who ‘larrikin’/jerkface farmer James chose? How will I know how many times he was referred to as ‘larrakin’ farmer James?
Fun Times: Gawker’s video rundowns about TV journalism are some of the best things I’ve seen in my life:
The Dangers of Being a Television News Reporter
Best of TV Lip Slips
Top Ten Angry On-Camera Meltdowns
Also Gawker-related: I really enjoyed this video of average guys attempting Olympic sports.
Maybe I’ve just been spending all my online time watching videos.

at the risk of anwering a rhetorical question: larrakin jerkface farmer chose the QLD flight attendant whose name I can’t remember - Trudy maybe? - however he was unwilling to commit to anything - like, you know, a relationship - and the whole jerkface element came out nice and strong.

Names are so unhelpful on that show. The skinny-faced one or the other one? I feel like she hated him less.
I can’t believe he wouldn’t commit. He had about the worst offer ever: “I hurt myself three years ago, and I need someone to help me run the farm full-time. Also? NO HORSES!” The wine guy was like, “Hello, come sip some lovely sav blanc and enjoy my wealth.”
If one of those women was up for it, he totally should have snapped them up.
