BB11 Episode 2

so im watching big brtoher after dark right now and blogging about last nights episode...kinda trippy...

so the episode starts off with Ronnie trying to strike a deal with Jesse and the Athletes...it would be a perfect alliance since no one would suspect that the Brians and the Athletes would form an alliance and they also each have what the other is lacking...Jesse seems open to the idea

Jesse then goes up to Jeff and ask him to watch the house since everyone will be sucking up to his face and talking down on the lower level of the house (since the HOH room is upstairs), Jeff doesn't feel comfortable with the idea because he feels as if Jesse wants him to do his dirty work and he isn't ready to have blood on his hands...but the opposite happens and Jeff creates a little hostility between him and the rest of the athletes.

the Athletes seem really tightly bonded and like they will be a strong team if they can stick together (minus Jeff of course...but this might help him....i predict he will be the last Athlete in the house if his own team doesn't backdoor him)

so big suprise of episode 2 is there are no more food competitions...they have been replaced with have or have not competitions.....which means more than food is at stake...we learn that the team that loses will be on slop, have only cold showers, and will sleep in a steel plated room whose beds are just slabs with a blanket and pillow. the competition requires the clicks to use piping to light up the work H A V E - neon paint liquid stuff is running through the pipes. The competiton looks really awesome because they use a black light and the houseguest get white outfits to decorate so it was all neon and crazy 80's. good job big brother! suprisingly, the brians lose. Chima freaks out and totally puts a target on her back...she says that she can't live like this and that this is totally different than the life she leads at home (duhhhhhh thats kinda the point) and that she wants to leave the house. HELLO TARGET!

[Jessie and Lydia talking about the comp]

Laura keeps trying to talk to Jesse but he isn't having it (i think this is being played up though because they talked a lot on after dark...or Jesse is playing her...havn't figured it out quite yet) he thinks that she is super fake.

Jesse is talking to Russel and says that he is thinking about nominating Laura and Lydia for eviction. Russel kinda talks Jesse into testing the Brian alliance and putting up one of them as a pawn and keep Lydia because she is actually 'playing' the game.

so at the nomination ceremony Jesse does what Russell wants and Chima goes up against Lydia.!

whats gonna happen in the power of veto comp? will the veto be used? who would be the replacement nominee? whooo knows fool! (i of course do from after dark...the downside of watching it)

Quote of the Episode: "If your being chased by bears and you can trip them [your competitors] your gonna make it out alive." -Jesse

Monday Blues

sooo my car didn't start this morning...luckily i work at an automotive repair business so i brought it in to the shop next to the corporate office. my battery had less than 10volts of power and would not maintain a charge...soooo had to get that replaced. $183.76! ::heartattack:: but i did tack on an air filter and oil change!

Hope your Monday started off better than mine :)

PS: I read this blog called Grown Up Shoes....her last post was really amazing...check it out here.

weekend recap

this was a great weekend! but it flew by! i dont know what my problem is but i feel completely jimped of my weekend....i need another :)

on Friday Michael cooked dinner! we had Greek-Style Lamb Burgers with Couscous Tabbouleh. thats right guys...i ate lamb! it tasted just like beef though just a tad softer and like more tightly packed together than ground beef. it was surprisingly way yummy...i LOOOOVE when Michael cooks! hahaha at HEB they didn't have ground lamb so we had to ask for it so the butcher brought it out for us...and in the car the seal hadn't been put on very well and it bleed in my trunk - GROSS right? hahaha

Big Brother 11 Premiere

so Big Brother premiered tonight and this season is sure not to disappoint! I am absolutely obessed with this show and will do a recap blog after every episode. should you want to tune in you can catch it on CBS tuesdays at 8, thursdays at 7 and sundays at 7. (thats texas time btw - yes i just say texas time...get over it)

so they episode starts off with Julie saying that the theme this year will be "Back to School"...and then proceeds to say "If you expecting the unexpected or just expecting"...does that mean someone one the show might be preggo or get pregnant? mmmmm

then the houseguest are introduced to us as they receive their keys to the big brother house in their hometowns and meet on the steps of the house to enter. the first group to enter the house is Kevin, Ronnie, Russel and Laura. We learn that one of the rooms in the house is decorated in a pool theme and the beds are basically tile slabs with pool floaties on them for mattresses. haha so everyone runs for any other room. the next group to enter is Natalie, Chima, Braden, and Casey. and then finally the last group; Jeff, Jordan, Michelle and Lydia all end up in the pool room buuuut there are only three beds so Jordan and Lydia volunteer to sleep together since Michelle is married and Jeff is well a guy!

First Impression Time:
Russell (athlete): houseguest first impression is that he is intimidating....i think we have another big muscle small brian syndrome going on...









Laura (popular):big huge fake boobs - already has the guys drooling, young 21, surprised by her athleticism in the HOH comp










Kevin (off beat): super GAY, "blackanese"











Ronnie (brain): very geeky, lives at home with parents at the age of 30, cried when leaving his mom, catches on to twist of game quickly










Natalie (athlete): told houseguest that she is 18 and just graduated high school but its acutally 24, Kevin calls her out on it immediately










Chima (brains): didn't really rub me as a force to be reckoned with or a very fun out going person










Braden (popular): dumb, makes up really weird crazy words, interested in a showmance










Casey (off beat): left his family, has a baby son and will miss his first birthday due to being in the house










Michele (brians): is a neuroscientist but told the houseguest that she is lab tech so they wont know she has a phD










Lydia (off beat): admits to being bisexual and is willing to have a showmance with a man or woman










Jordan (popular): best first impression, former Homecoming Queen











Jeff (athlete): ladies name him the heart throb of the house











the houseguest learn that this year the twist is that they will be playing in cliques....hence the high shcool theme....the four cliques are the athletes, the brains, the off beats and the popular crowd. next to my first impressions i put the clique each houseguest was put in.

finally we get to the HOH competition. it was called "The Wedgie" and the houseguest were put in big underwear holders and had to hold on to toilet seats in front of them, seeing who could hold on the longest. Julie tells the houseguest that they will compete as clicks so if a member of your click wins you are not eligible to put up for eviction. but you are voted off and put on the block separate from your team.

also - another twist - there are four former houseguest that are associated with each click and the click that wins will allow the corresponding houseguest to enter the house, that person will assume the role as HOH for the first week and that click with out number any other click in the house. the athletes win with Natalie and Russell still hanging on to their toliet seat after everyone else has already given up. so guess who comes back in the house? JESSE from season BB10....and he is bigger than he was last season....CRAZY TOWN!

(Jessica from BB8 was the canidate for the popular crowd - wish she was back in the house - BOOYAH....hahaha just a lil shout out)

so who will be up for eviction first? and will they win the power of veto? another fun exciting season! whoooooo!

cbs.com i love thee

today i took my DAT...did pretty well but will still probably take it again to try to improve my score a little bit...i am SOOO close to my goal...i want to prove to myself that i can reach it! so anyways no work for me today! the test started at 9am and lasted until about 130pm. after that i came home, ate and crashed. i had the best nap....man i miss those...my advice to any college student: savor your naps! working all day long is harrrrrrd! (hahaha im kind of pathetic) then i met T for some coffee at Its A Grind. yummm! they had this coffee mug and I think I might make a trip back for it...cuz it is the truth..and the alarm is apparently set for 530am these days....


speaking of the cat....she tried to run away today.....really - she ran all the way up to the third floor. does that mean that she doesn't love me anymore? its 'cause i ran out of food for her but i went and bought some tonite! and i even took an oatmeal bath for her...lol she loves to sit on the side and drink oatmeal water....it was acutally for my sunburn but she doesn't know the difference!

BTW did you see the new host for How Do I Look? [iloveasians]

Wicked: The Untold Story of the Witches of Oz

last saturday i saw the broadway show WICKED here in San Antonio with the traveling company. it was really really good. my parents came up from Houston and we met two sets of my aunts and uncles there. i LOOOOOOVED the first half of the show. it was brillant. the second half isn't written as good - it jumps around really quickly and you kind of have to put a lot together in your head from the traditional Wizard of Oz story. For those of you that don't know, Wicked is the story before the Wizard of Oz and tells how Elphaba become the Wicked Witch of the West and how Glenda isn't really so good. the music was so good, i really want to get the soundtrack, Eric (cousin) has it and is burning it for me. i can't wait to jam out hahaha! my three favorite songs are Popular, Defying Gravity and I Knew You!

ya dont say

so guys i just had to tell you this outrageous little tid-bit...

my boss today tells me that the reason that the hair on your arms does not grow as long as the hair on your hands is because it falls out before it can grow that long. do you believe this? i think its a pretty sketch conclusion...i literally laughed out loud when he told me this and then stopped when i noticed he wasn't laughing along with me but had a completely serious look on his face...really....really?

[siiiiick, eh?]

hmm so my iPhone is el broken :( excuse me as i fall into a deep depession...

Barber Shop

the other night Michael gave Patrick a mohawk! Michael made us all REALLY REALLY yummy chicken tacos with cilantro ranch and Patrick bought some clippers on his way home from work and the rest is history! Travis even came to watch! Here is my documentation:
