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!

I'm a Work in Progress.

Oooh it's been a long summer.
I wish I could say I haven't updated because I'm too busy working,
but alas, this is not the case.
I am unemployed,
not in med school,
and utterly miserable.

I was accepted into a med school in the Grand Cayman,
and decided that I had a bad feeling about it.
Now I'm home,
unemployed,
not in med school,
and utterly miserable.

Well I'm not utterly miserable.
I have a great family....clingy, but great.
And I'm starting to loosen up.
The things in my head are clearer.
I haven't been stress free in a long while.
It is taking some getting used to.
Though I think it is doing a world of good for me.

I'm dating, meeting new people,
and may actually be ready for a serious relationship.
I'm working on getting hired as a teacher.
Well I must get back to bumming around.
Tata!

Some inspiration for the road:

Kerli Fries With That?

I am totally feeling this Estonian singer Kerli.
She was featured on Perez Hilton, of course.
But I really think she has potential.
Yea she's kind of blonde Barbie-esque, and it is totally studio produced quirkiness, but I'm ok with it.

Here is the video for Walking on Air


I can't wait to hear the rest of her album!

Updates, updates, updates!
Well I graduated!!!!
Still have no idea what I'm doing,
but I'm starting to be ok with that.
It's actually really nice to be home.
I've actually been able to focus on weight watchers.
I'm taking daily walks...
starting to build a bit of a tan in fact!
My parents want a dog!
Though I suspect this is a ploy to keep me home.

I'm looking at cars.
Boy do I hate car shopping!
They are so expensive and I really don't feel comfortable making a move until I know what my salary is going to look like.
We shall see what I end up with.

So I need to update the blog too,
as I no longer live in New Orleans.
I'm actually ok with Tampa,
for now that is.
I'm trying to adjust,
I think if I can make some friends
and find activities that suit me,
I might be alright.

I'm looking at ballroom dancing,
I need to research book clubs.
I know there is a knitting group that meets at Borders,
I saw them once while on vacation.
Wow, I am such a granny!

HOLY SHIT...I just google imaged granny and this is what came up!!


wicked.

Speaking of grannies, one of my new neighbors is a spitting image of my tiny colombian grandmother...except this lady is kind of a bitch...so I know lovingly refer to her in conversation as Nelly's Evil Twin.

Who knew?

Who knew Mexico had such a strong emo following?
People are so angry they have formed riots to "hunt" the emos down.
Now these are people who know how to take care of business.
I'm not sure that's the most important business, but it is easily taken care of atleast.


Graduation in less than two months.
I don't know what I'm doing with myself.
So med school was a bust.
I haven't heard from school schools, but I'm not holding my breath.
This sucks.
Back to Tampa I go.
I have no idea what to do.

Maybe I'll go to Mexico City.
It looks so interesting, and it's supposed to be a megatropolis.
8.7 million plus residents or something like that.
Though I hear the smog is really bad.
But it is an ancient city.
I forget if it is a valley or a plateau...I'm thinking valley.
Anyway, some lovely pictures...






and some intersting mexican art too...

Old Hickory.

Loving the new Janet Jackson.

I decided I'm over TFA.
Mom agreed they were stupid.
Bitter? meeybe....but its ok.
Nothing should make me lose track of med school.

Today was such an easy going day.
Woke up at 1pm.
Watched a PBS special about Andrew Jackson.
A fascinating man.
Truly a man of the 18th century would aptly describe him in my mind.

Then I took a nap.
Vicki came home,
Mom came home.
Dad called and he's working really really late.
Had some pot roast.
Treated Mom to a mocha a starbucks,
Oh how I love thee!
Now it is time to pack.

Asta luego Tampa!
Bienvenidos a Neuvo Orleans jueves!


Tampa's itty bitty downtown :)

Presentation tomorrow.
So happy to be done.
I notice when I'm stressed,
my creative juices flow more.
I crave writing, and painting,
and photography.

My goal for the next two weeks is to center myself.
I am going home,
catching up with Andrew,
seeing my entire giant Cuban family,
getting my wisdom teeth pulled out,
back to school shopping,
and collecting my thoughts and ideas.

I need clarity and definition.
I need to focus on what my goals are,
and how I'm truly going to achieve them.
I will further elaborate on this,
when I personally have them straight.

I am happy to go home.
My teeth hurt!!!!
I hate wisdom teeth.
I'm actually looking forward to this surgery!!
Crazy.



Summer needs to come to an end.
I feel disappointed and in worse shape than I began.
Sadly,
from this dispair,
I feel inspired,
I understand why artists must be tortured to truly make art.
