Wishing I was at a bar right now...

OH! I miss New Orleans.
Not so much the city,
but the life I lead there.
I miss my friends, events, intellectual discussions.
At times in school I was a bit dissatisfied by
my seemingly low social life.
I find it is even worse at home.
I desperately want friends.

Not in a I'm lonely going to kill myself way,
but in a need for physical companionship.
I love the friends I made,
and I am so thankful for the internet and IMs.
But we all need human interaction.
To see the familiar faces walking around campus.
To be able to knock on someone's dorm room door
just to hang out.

I miss not having those relationships anymore.
Just like when I was in New Orleans I missed my familial relations.
It is nice to be home and get to know my family again.
My 15 year old sister is amazing.
She reminds me so much of myself at that age,
but she is brash and social and so many things I have always been envious of others about.
I really adore her some days.

Debate tonight!
Hence the desire to be at a bar.
This could be such a fun night with friends!
I learned at Tulane that politics can be fun.
In the right context it shouldn't be nasty or an off the table topic.
At home I can't speak about politics without my dad losing his cookies.
I am so desperate for normal conversation!

Mas despues!

Yay! Fall TV!!!

The new season is in full swing!
After a looong summer,
made even longer by the writer's strike,
my one true love (el television) is back!

So...here's the rundown so far on primetime.
Dancing With the Stars (DWTS for future reference)
Cloris! Cloris! Cloris!
Old name, old lady.
She is amazing, and I don't care if she can dance,
I want her to win this trophy for sheer entertainment!
Here is a clip of her ridiculous mambo...
I think Corky Ballas is ready to retire,
but at least he is playing up her humor factor.


Other highlights from DWTS include:
Rocco DiSpirito...my new true love.
So adorable!


And sexy!

Kim Kardashian....she is like Princess Jasmine (like Samantha said) but she is like watching paint dry (like Mark said...)

Her foxtrot was cute, but the mambo was bad...
Though I give her props for dancing to the "I like big butts"
As a woman with junk in the trunk, big props to her.


Warren Sapp:
Grew up watching him play and trash talk for the Bucs.
I just adore him!
And he's so entertaining and likeable on the show.
Fat boy can dance!


Misty May Tra...whatever...we all know I love Maks.
He's hot, and she's pretty good.
Also, does anybody else get the idea that Maks has a thing for her? They're totally gonna hook up, am I right??
I mean I got the same vibe from Mark and Sabrina a few seasons back.

Either that or Maks is just excited he might win.

Also on TV...
Heroes.

Wow, what an opening!
I'm a little worried the show is going in too many branches.
So I'm not even going to try and summarize.
Suresh now has hunky powers, except his skin is falling off.
And Mama Petreli as Sylar's mom??? Say what???

Biggest Loser.

I was pro-yellow team until last night when the cocky girl bet they could lose 14 lbs on week two.
Otherwise, this show is great as far as inspiring my personal weight loss goals.
I've been lax lately,
and I have no excuses.
I no longer live in a dorm,
I have a kitchen.
I have access to a school gym (not as close anymore, but still)
So BL is good for my BB(Big Booty!)
And I just love the weigh ins
AND ROCCO DISPIRITO was on last night's show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He was on primetime TV competing with himself!
So adorable, so adorable, so flippin' adorable!

Opportunity Knocks.
Cute family oriented game show,
kind of a filler show.

How I Met Your Mother.

Love this show!
Marshall is kind of annoying me and does need a job...hmm that strikes close to home!haha! He also needs a hair cut.
I'm thinking Stella is the mom,
they have such great chemistry!
Robin and Barney are great.
Neil Patrick Harris plays him brilliantly
and I can't wait for them to get together.
All I'm gonna say
3am: ? !
Brilliant :D

Worst Week.
My dad really enjoyed this show
so I thought it worth mentioning.
I did not watch it.
He was laughing the whole time from the other room,
so I suspect it is some classic slapstick comedy.

Otherwise,
it seems nothing new has really caught my fancy.
Last season seemed to have much more "dramady" or chick TV.
I guess we'll see where the season leads us!

Adios amigos!
