welcome to Day One of my two days off. ah, it feels good to wake up in the morning, refreshed as fuck (i had this long-ass dream that i still remember from beginning to end), and listening to some Belle & Sebastian.

i still haven't gotten to last week's 24 yet. i'll probably get to it today, or tomorrow, at the latest.

oh, Survivor ended last night. i was able to catch all of the three-hour spectacle (minus about a 10-minute stretch. well, i did have to work, you know). riveting television once again (the first two hours, i mean). glad Amber won. the least of two evils, i say. even though i do believe Rob was the best player out of everyone involved, i do believe there's another way to play than to backstab every fucking player on the show to get to the end. and thank god Rob proposed to Amber during the post-show or else what the fuck was Jeff supposed to talk about for the last half hour before revealing the publicized twist? (which is lame compared to what i imagined it would be (give the last 7 survivors, aka the ones who were good enough to make the jury, a cool million each. they've earned it and Mark Burnett/Suvivor can afford it by now). i do hope Rupert gets the fan-voted million, though [ go vote ] the winner will be announced thursday evening on the post post-show season recap.) the final tribal council, though, with the jury, gave us my now-favorite moment of Survivor ever -- Big Tom chastizing Rob for being the ass that he is with the he played. he ended the speech by being a good man about it and shaking on it, no hard feelings. but not before having fooled Rob into feeling relieved about it and taking his hand away, essentially calling him an ass in front of everyone. what a play, Big Tom! wow. we were in shock. i gasped. i howled. fucking happiness ensued for me. Big Tom might've not played the best way, and Rob played him for a fool, but he got the upper hand right there and then, in front of everyone, on the biggest godfather player of them all. congrats, Big Tom.

ps. i hate the new blogger editing layout.
