About Me

My photo
I am a mom, a wife, and a teacher-librarian. I have four boys at home: Main Man (44), #1 (14), #2 (11), and #3 (7). Although they keep me very busy, I also look after a library for an elementary student population of 500 (give or take). I love my family; I love my job.

My Latest Guilty Pleasure

Beauty and the Geek

Only problem is - my favourite couple, Nadia and Mario, were eliminated this past week. I actually cried!

Hmmmm...will have to check it out. Heard of it, but never tried it.

I don't fancy watching slim girls in binikis, however. And I don't want to encourage Stud to, either. He finds enough of that on his own, you know???

lol. I can't believe how much of a cult hit this show is. I checked it out for the first time last week. My brain cells wept in pain ;) Honestly though it was pretty funny.

I wasn't fond of the earlier series, LM.
Was this better?
Lovely picture and are you serious that you cried? :-)

can't say i ever watched it. SO far I managed to sucessfully avoid watching all the reality shows - hate them with a passion

Lowa - I don't really remember them wearing bikinis much, actually. This publicity shot is more skin than you usually see. I find that the way most of the girls act may turn some guys off, though. They can be such witches! That's why I liked Nadia. She was always nice to everyone else.

Turtle - Sometimes it's hard to understand what's going on if you haven't seen the group conflict of previous episodes. Still, I freely admit, it's not genius programming. That's why it's a "guilty" pleasure. ;-)

Susan - Yes, I actually wept. I'm sure the boys would have laughed at me, except they all know I'm the town crier. There are even some commercials that can do it to me!

Katy - I'm not into any others anymore. I went through a Survivor phase, then an Apprentice phase. Oh - I am watching the current episodes of American Idol, but once the auditions are over, my attention is lost.

Thanks for your indulgence in my frivolous little post, everyone!

This is actually a dandy little show, much more interesting once the weeks get going and real change happens to them all. Any time people really learn to understand other people better - and, thereby, themselves - is massively cool, don't you think?

Katy - I used to be a reality tv snob, too, but the "Survivor" type are very different from B&TG, plus Runway or Design Star or even Top Chef. The ones where people have to do or produce something real (as opposed to something dreamt up by a producer) are really about human nature. As would-be and/or real writers, we are always entranced by that, right?!

Jau - How great to meet you! And thank you for your support for me re: B&TG. What did you think of Nadia and Mario? Come visit again soon.
