Will I Survive Thursday?

What type of question is that, you may well ask? Well, tomorrow I work a double. Yes, that's right, I open the restaurant at 8am and close it down at 11pm. One hell of a long day (and a gymless one at that unless I'm up at 6am), but one of my own choosing since I switched shifts so I could have both Friday and Saturday off this week.

Tomorrow however, is also the premiere of Survivor: Guatemala. And just who the two returning Survivors? My picks are Stephanie and Jeff from Palau. In ten seasons I've NEVER missed an episode, I have all nine campfire mugs (they never made one for season one), and even a buff. But most importantly, this is the first season I'm spending thousands of miles away from the group. Every week we'd get together, someone would cook or order in, and then we'd all sit there screaming at the TV.

Whoever Walker took a liking to would be off the island faster than you can say "tax evasion". Emily's friend would always somehow leak the order of who got booted. And Ken would embarrass the rest of us with simply stunning dinners. Others flitted in and out (as I did at one point), but those guys were the core.

Until I have a new group out here, I'm gonna feel this pang at 8pm on Thursdays, so for now maybe it's better I have to work!

Your pics are starting to rival Sean's Objet d'Lust postings... woof!

I tried to watch BNRS again last night but just couldn't so I flipped back to Lifetime and watched the Birdcage for the 100th time (and it doesn't get old! I will have the entire thing memorized in 2 more viewings I think!)

They also had the BBB episode where Whitney looks like a cranky cracked out bitch on Mother's day... oh wait she is!

Mark and I have NEVER missed an episode of Survivor, either - and have even attended two of the finale tapings at CBS here in LA (even before we moved out here). We would love to have you over on Thursdays to watch . . .
