Up until 2AM last night.
Then, Milo was up shaking and whining until 3 when I dumped him on the husband to watch.
Who promptly dumped Milo back on me as soon as I had fallen asleep.
So, so tired.
But, you can't abandon ship when you're on the verge of cracking the top 100.

British Invasion
Today, my first day on vacation (yay!), is also the first day of Trivia.
Trivia goes from 6 pm tonight to midnight on Sunday.
This isn't my first time playing trivia. We did it once before. All I really remember from it is being sick as a dog on Sunday. We turned off the computer, the tv, the radio, everything and pretty much just laid on the couch in silence.
I'm hoping this will be fun and significantly less painful.
There will be more people, so hopefully there will be more sleep involved this year.
Managed to get a work out in this morning before we leave for Point, so at least if I don't get to do anything this weekend, I'll already be taken care of.
Go Loons!

Hey hey hey, Good-bye!
Watched Top Chef last night and what a weird ending!
I was so happy Zoi was going home!
She was whiny. She made excuses for herself, BOTH pre- and post-failure.
She even had the audacity to bitch about her girlfriend doing better than she did in the Quickfire challenge!
Jen has never said anything, but what a great, talented, amazing, blah, blah, blah Zoi is and she returns the favor by being pissed that Jen did better than she did?
For Jen's sake I hope one of two things is true:
1. Zoi is phe-nominal in bed
OR
2. Zoi is not such a complete and utter waste of a person in real life.
On the bright side, Jen officially gets moved up to "chef I am rooting for" now that she lost that anchor around her neck.
I don't think she's going to be around that long though. She hasn't done anything amazing yet, just middle-of-the-pack so far.
Stephanie must be one amazing cook. I think she has been in the top teams every week, but one so far. I think she, Dale and Richard may be the one's to beat.
Kind of funny since all of those remind me of past favorites.
Stephanie = If Harold was a girl
Richard = Marcel
Dale = Hung
I was sweating it a little for Richard last night, I didn't want him to go home in spite of his scaly slip-up. Andrew better cool it with the tapioca caviar though; seen it.
Ha! The "confrontation" between Dale and Lisa (is that her name?) was hilarious. It was so random. You could just tell that Dale was just itching for a chance to bitch at her. It all happened so fast and I deleted it from TiVO already, so I don't even know how they got involved. It was arguing between Spike, Antonia and Jen and then somehow Dale and Lisa were arguing too.
Not sure that Lisa did anything wrong, but Dale is right she is annoying with her constant negativity. She's like this big, black pit of nothingness. I swear the tv goes blank when she's on. She's officially been downgraded to "chef I refuse to acknowledge exists." Makes it hard when she wins, like she did today. But we'll see how it goes for her once she isn't partnered with Stephanie anymore.
One last thing and then I'm done with this too long blog on Top Chef.
Antonia is more and more annoying every week.
I'm no fan of Spike, but he was right. Antonia had immunity. She should have shut the fuck up and taken a back-seat on this one. I wouldn't mind if she just shut the fuck up in general.

Genocide
My 401K company sent me some junk that I was supposed to vote on this week.
One of the questions, (apprx) would you like us to refrain from investing in companies that have significantly contributed to genocide.
Hmm... let me think about it. On the one hand, we have potential MONEY to help ME. On the other, we have GENOCIDE.
I may be a selfish person, but genocide? Really?
The total destruction of a society and I'm supposed to be okay with this?
In fact, my investment company advised me to vote AGAINST the measure.
Ugh.
So, I (obviously) voted for the measure.
Better to lose a little money not contributing to genocide than allowing my soul to become some black, bottomless pit where genocide is A-Ok.

Decompression
American Idol
Tonight was inspiration night on American Idol, but it was only okay for me.
David A was amazing as always. I have to admit, I'm not as in love with him as I used to be. I still love him, don't get me wrong. Tonight was another great performance. But, I'm okay with him being on the show, as opposed to keeping him in my pocket so I can pull him out to sing for me whenever I need a dose of adorable.
I thought Michael Johns was better than they gave him credit for.
I love that version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow and I enjoyed Jason Castro's performance. Sorry Ash, but I dig him.
David Cook was a disappointment this week, but I still love him. He's the only one who's inspired me to buy his songs off of iTunes. Yep, that's right I bought Eleanor Rigby, Billie Jean and Hello. Michael Johns inspired me to buy songs, too, but I just bought the original versions instead of his versions (Bohemian Rhapsody and Dream On).
Syesha, Carly and Kristy Lee Cook can just go away now. They are boring. In a way, I feel sorry for Carly. She has a decent voice, if she didn't just reek of desperation (and hadn't sang the wrong words to Come Together) I might have liked her, but probably not.
Hell's Kitchen
I hate Jason. He's a sexist pig.
I love Gordon Ramsay, but if that sexist pig wins this show I'm going to have to stop watching. Maybe.
I may love Gordon Ramsay more than I hate "sous-chef" Jason.
Who am I kidding? I definitely love Gordon Ramsay more than I hate Jason.
Gordon Ramsay is right up there for me with puppies, Christmas and chocolate.
What was with Petrozza? "I'm done. I'm done." Whatever. Shut up. You didn't know how hard this would be? Where did you think you were going? Have you not seen Hell's Kitchen before? Dumbass.
Nice job stepping up, Four-star General Bobby. That's the first thing you've done on this show that makes me think you are not completely worthless.
Ha! Way to fuck yourself over Corey.
I had hope, after last week, that the women could come out and kick the tar out of the men (especially Jason.... have I mentioned I hate him?)
But after that display of complete and total bitchery, my team loyalty may depend on how long Jason sticks around. Although I like Christina so far, so I'm still leaning towards the women.

Bending the Universe
Stupid rain!
I wanted to take Cash out on a walk this evening, since I'm ditching the poor fellow for the weekend.
Before you protest, Joe is on the DL until her injured hindquarters heals, so it has to be Cash. But, it's been so nice out recently, I really wanted to get out for a walk with one of the dogs. But, I'm not going out in this disgusting cold rain!
I guess I'm still not able to bend the universe to my will.
Rats!
