They Got Me
I have to admit it. I have to be completely straightforward. I was not going to watch SURVIVOR this season. Nothing in any of the ads caught my attention. I was over the whole thing. But I was home and I was knitting, and I thought I'd watch the first few minutes to see who would be playing. Yada, yada, yada ... nothing new and exciting and THEN ... they brought out Stephanie and Bobby Jon from last season.
They got me
They brought back (you could argue the point, but why?) the most deserving and strongest player to ever play the game. Not the meanest, not the nastiest, not the sneakiest ... just plain out, the best person to play the game. Stephanie is back. Bobby Jon, yeah well, whatever. He's cute, I'll give him that much.
I don't hold out much hope of Stephanie winning. These people would be idiots not to vote her off, not after having seen how strong she was last season. But girl, you got my vote.
OTHER NOTES:
Once again had to frog a section from "Branching Out" (it's a lace pattern). Have to say it out loud. Gotta love those safety lines!
FINISHED: No, not my lace pattern, although it's getting pretty long. No, I finished the series YuYu Hakusho. I'm so happy! And I'm disappointed. No more Hiei or Kurama, or Jin the Wind Master. Chu the Aussie-kind-a fighter, Koenma, Botan, Shizuru (and yes, I know the spellings are hideous, but I am NOT looking up all their names right now). Kurama, Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Genkai. BTW, did you know that the voice actor of Genkai is the voice actor of Kurama's actual mother? And she also was the voice for Lord Freiza on DBZ? I'll be able to let go. There are other series out there that I'm following (InuYasha most noteably). But there is a touch of sadness at having reached the end.
UNFINISHED: No, not my lace pattern, although it too is still unfinished. But to what I am referring is the vinyl siding for my house. The mess and noise haven't been the worst, but it's still bothersome. My landlord has been over every day overseeing what they're doing. Riding herd on them (some have tried to goof off). But he's not there today. He and his wife have property down by Atlantic Beach and there was some small hurricane damage and they needed to go check it out. So I'm a bit worried what my yard will look like when I get home.
FINISHED: No, still haven't finished the lace pattern since writing the above paragraphs .... My job. This is my last day at this job. Although, to be technical, it's the last full-time day since I will be back the weekend after this one to work some PRN hours. My new job starts Monday. I'm a little nervous, but basically ok. My friends here threw me a going-away breakfast and I ate waaaay too much. It's hard leaving and I can only be grateful for all the friends I have made here in the past five years. They're not going anywhere, they will still be friends. But that daily communication will be gone and I will miss that. Even though none of them know (or care) about the difference between anime and manga, they humored me. They put up with my corny jokes. They came to see me on stage when I went back to the theatre after 10 years and even brought me flowers (ran up and gave them to me during curtain call). Ok. This is harder than I thought it would ever be.
Gonna run now.
