Off The Old Block

I’m surprised that Travis kicked Moana to the curb. They seemed like a good fit. Just goes to show what an influence my own pre-disposition towards certain assets can cloud my perspective. I lost $50 on that, though!

I’ve been closely watching the last few weeks of the bachelor - partly because I’m a sap and like romance - and partly as a relationship study. It is interesting to notice how Travis leans in to kiss Moana, whereas he’s a almost alwasy standing up making Sara reach up and kiss him. Just something I’ve observed.

Fun at work?

Cavegirls were first blondes to have fun - Sunday Times - Times Online This makes so much sense to me. it’s so true!

The only real laugh out loud moment from the simpson’s tonight? Gentleman G.K. Willington III, esq. writing about Ms. Krabapple: “March 12: Boink Slut.” More funny please, simpsons. What happened to the glory of “Catch them if you can?” I’ll quote: “Come on everybody have some sexual congress, not the kind of congress that contains paul tsongas.” Perfect humor.

edit: although Marge saying “I’d like to get in to some blue pants myself” was chuckle worthy.

This was a gift from my date tonight. Makes more sense in context. More about my adventure at Geja’s Cafe (i avoided allergens!) and the rest of my evening later. For now I have to go fall asleep and dread waking up in the morning.

Coming soon: My first meme - 10 best dinners.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that the bachelor picks Moana in the season finale next week. Of course, I thought Sara B. had him in a lock until she blew it by getting too drunk on the camping trip.

But looking at it from “a guy’s perspective” I wonder if Travis is thinking “you know, I came all the way to Paris to find a woman. Why on earth would I pick one that is from the same town that I live in?” I think Sara the teacher is the obvious pick from a logical perspective. She’s stable, fairly attractive, and looks to have a shared history based on living in the same area as the bachelor. When was the last time that logic had anything to do with romance?

I bet the bachelor picks the exotic one with the romance and the mystery, over the sure thing with the teacher. Although, if it were me, I would have picked the Canadian.

…but if I did, the best part of the reunion show tonight (other than that fine Sara B - gimme a call hottie!) is / was the bloopers. I would probably pay to see a DVD of just bloopers. haha.
