The yings and yangs of 29...

Being 29's turning out to be a bit of a rollercoaster...The first days have had some major ups, but there have also been some downhill bumps....

My birthday night Wednesday night was low-key, but great. Hung with a bunch of my friends...watched "Idol" and probably my favorite episode of "Project Runway" so far this season. Our "Project Runway" TV nights have evolved into "Who can do a better Tim Gunn?" impersonation contests. Rod wins so far! It's quite uncanny...

On the show though, Santino's redeemed himself (a little) with his Tim Gunn impersonation. My pick to win and my favorite...Daniel Vosovic...I know...not a big surprise. ;-)

Speaking of reality goodness, the new cast of "The Amazing Race" has been announced. Hooray! And...a little extra twist for me...my college friend B.J. is on the show! He's gonna be great. He's a very funny, sharp guy. It should be fun to see how he does...My circles of life have really started to intertwine. This is the first friend of mine who's appeared on a big network reality show that I'm a HUGE fan of like "Race." My other faves for "Race"...Jeremy and Eric...I know...not a big surprise...

This also makes the second B.J. I went to college with (stop snickering) who's appearing on network prime-time TV.

How about those "Beauty and the Geek" makeovers last night?!? Karl and Wes?!? WOW...

But with the good...there's a bit of not-so-good...

Attempted to have HD DirecTV installed at my place yesterday...apparently...it CAN'T. It's because of the way the cable wiring is set up at my apartment. I'd have to lose DirecTV in the two bedrooms in order to get any HD signal. I guess I should know by now that fancy technology and me don't mix...

And yesterday I found out that what I thought was there wasn't there. Gotta love those "talks." Better to know a few weeks into things than a few months into things. I'm a little hurt and wounded, but it's gonna be ok...we're still going to be friends. I guess I should know by now that dating and me don't really mix.

Ah...is it the weekend yet? Oh, it is? NICE...
