MMM…Married!

Friday, October 13th, 2006

That was the confusing headline in a People article about the oldest member of Hanson getting married.  I finally realized that it’s a reference to MMMBop and not Campbells Mm mm good.  All three Hanson brothers are married now.  The youngest (age 20) got married in June, the oldest (age 25) just got married last week or so, and the middle one (age 23) has been married for years and his wife just gave birth to their third child.  Married with three children!  At age 23!

ANTM Post 1 - Cheering for AJ!

Thursday, October 12th, 2006

I now watch “America’s Next Top Model” every week, after having gotten hooked watching a last season marathon on VH1 a month ago.  It’s fun.  Who knew it was so much work to be a model, and that there’s much more involved than being tall and dangerously skinny?

AJ is my favorite - I’ve loved her since day 1.  I’m rooting for her all the way.

Xman #69 - Kang Team Couple Selection Part 4 of 4 (en)!

I just wandered onto YouTube for the first time.  A couple clips from Colbert Report or The Daily Show, of course, and then I watched something that 13,983 people had watched before me and was one of the top rated for today, assuming I understood their ranking mechanisms.  I had no idea what was going on.  And now I am doing my duty and passing it on.  I can’t figure out how to successfully embed it directly so I’ll just post the link.

Think of the business cards!

Tuesday, October 10th, 2006

I was looking at job postings this afternoon on a website for a bank in San Jose, CA where I have been told I could probably get a job if I wanted one.  Hooray, networking!  One available position is for Assistant Vice President-Operations/Documentation Specialist and I am almost completely qualified for it in terms of the specified requirements.  I say almost because I do not have “Strong knowledge and understanding of accounting principles”.  That could be easily remedied with an accounting principles course, which is actually the name of a class I was already considering taking next semester.  How fun would that be to have Assistant Vice President on my business cards?  How cool would it be to actually have business cards?  And how juvenile would it be exactly to mention, let’s say at a cocktail party, that I put the ass back in Assistant Vice President?  I frown at the requirement for “good communication skills”, though,  because that sounds suspiciously like talking on the phone and/or to customers, which are two tasks I do not enjoy. 

Battlestar Galactica!

Good thing there were all those beefcake-wearing-only-a-towel shots of Lee Adama throughout last season that seemed so gratuitous at the time — how else would we know just how fat he’s gotten since Pegasus jumped away from New Caprica and the cylon fleet four months ago?

What are they going to do for the romantic dalliance plotlines now that everybody is married?  Chief and Cally, Starbuck and Anders, Apollo and Dualla, and apparently Helo and Sharon because she was sworn in as lieutenant as Sharon Agathon, not Sharon Valerii.  Yes, I admit I just used the Sci-Fi Channel’s official show website to confirm the spelling of their names.  Turns out Gaeta’s first name is Felix - how hot is that??
