Love Island and other adventures
... I still have a minor on-off headache. Still mildly interesting, but I am wearing my glasses at work which does help (although it doesn't very attractive).
I haven't had a chance to miss Love Island as RRPP is keeping me up to date. Of course she is now finally at the stage where she is admitting that she does love Brendan. There are all sorts of caveats of course "who else would you be with?" and "he isn't so bad" and then some gushing about how he won the Strongest Man competition... concerning.
I am also planning my days whilst in Washington, so if anyone has any suggestions for must sees, let me know ....
So what else is going on? Well, I am now a regular on the subway to and from work. Very easy and convenient (and air-conditioned). I am on the local trains too so usually get a seat. I did notice a very interesting print advert on the subway this morning. There was a picture of 4 people, with the caption "As a Jew I was not interested in Jesus, until..." and then the pictures show them all smiling, and asking you to check out the website for "Jews for Jesus"????!!!! Fascinating. I was almost tempted to check it out, but managed to restrain myself. How much stranger can things get. Normally the adverts are just for English as a foreign language... I am trying to ration my trips to Sephora. And I am also getting engrossed in the new Project Runway (love Heidi Klum - I am going to start saying Auf Wiedersehen when I leave the office at night). They are so catty on that program too - just fantastic. New episode on tonight, and I can't wait. It made it much more real too when I watch Miss Universe (god bless Donald Trump, who rescued that beauty pageant from obscurity, wonder why??). The second challenge on Project Runway was for the designers to come up with a dress for the evening wear section of the show, and Kayne won (a rather lavender-ish designer whose sisters are all pageant queens). Well, Tara (Miss USA) actually wore the dress. She made it to the final 5 in the competition, but unfortunately was 4th runner up - I guess that kind of means she came last! She would need lightning to strike 4 people before she can wrestle that crown off Miss Puerto Rico who actually won. What they didn't show is that 3 minutes after Miss Puerto Rico was crowned she half fainted and had to be carried off the stage. So now the rumours are going around about anorexia and not eating on the day to get through the swimsuit competition. Carson Daly (from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy) was there for "comments" and was really nasty about the contestants of course. Right down to saying some of the contestants in their bikins had short legs, and didn't have "snappy turns" or "weren't selling it!". It was a meat market. So bad it actually wasn't that hypnotic. But anyway, I ended up watching it mainly because of Project Runway ...
