An American in Bloomington

I watch Passport to Europe every day on my lunch break.
And every day, I am more determined to make enough money that I can get around to all these places being featured.
It also kind of makes me think that I don’t really want to have babies, so I can just jet-set around and whatnot.
Every episode, [...]

Crushes on Cowboys.

[..because this happened forever ago and I haven't had a chance to address it..]

HUZZAH to Emmitt Smith, MY PICK for Dancing with the Stars 2006.
My allegiance comes from the fact, that one time? Emmit Smith waved to me once.
Sidestory, which I undoubtedly have told before — My mom lived in Texas for a few years [...]

What I’ve Been DVR-ing

[or "What I've Missed about Cable Whilst Going Without for Six Months"
[or "Someone Kick My Ass Off the Couch and Get Me to the Gym, ASAP"]
Jeopardy…even though, 85% of the time, I will answer a) “What is Constantine?” or b) “What is the Merchant of Venice?”, regardless of actual category.
Girls Next Door…who knew Bridget was [...]

McDreamy, indeed.

I will not lie.  This kind of gets me hot.
I’m waiting for Grey’s Anatomy to come on.  (We finally caved and got satellite service and DVR. After four months of NO cable for me and a constant fear of regaining Couch Potato status!) However, some members of my household don’t have such great taste in doctor-fucking television programming [...]

I finished watching Season 2 of Lost. Thus, my life has no purpose until October.  Until then, I will be a dork and surf lostpedia at hommedeterre’s suggestion and have ridiculous conversations like:
Jenn: “If we were on this island and I gave you permission to have sex with one of the women, who would you [...]

My Life, Sans Cable…

Entourage, Season One, courtesy of Boyfriend.
I watched the entire season this evening, which was only, like, eight half-hour episodes.  (Which, okay, actually adds up to four hours straight of TV-watching, but fuck it, I know you guys have pulled off far worse than that.)
P.S., Everyone?  Entourage is not as good as you think it is.
Also?  [...]

I finished Season One of Lost tonight.  Holy Hatch, Batman.
And, don’t tell Damon? But I took a nap before coming into the station tonight and had yet ANOTHER dream in which I have sex with THIS GUY:

Gross.
[P.S. Don't discuss the whole "Jacks" vs. "Sawyers" of the world with your boyfriend, because you will have to explain [...]

Oh nos!
I jumped on the LOST bandwagon.
As of this post, I am just over halfway through Season One.

BALLS DEEP in LOST! So much so that  and I actually had a conversation like:
Me: I hate Kate, IF THAT IS EVEN HER NAME!!  I don’t know why. There’s just something about her that I don’t like.
Eddie: Why, because she’s [...]

Today I texted my friend, Emily Potempa.
(you know Em from 80% of my pictures from college.)
“What’s happening on the east coast tonight?” I asked her.
She’s living in Chelsea, working as a production assistant for Project Runway Season 3.
“Well, I’m working until two a.m.,” she responded.
“But today we threw a secret surprise party and Tim Gunn [...]

Skip this post if you don’t watch Top Chef.

I’m watching Top Chef, although I don’t know why, because although it’s shot like Project Runway it is not nearly as juicy.
Argh!
Fucking Katie Lee Joel!

Bravo could have saved some money by balancing a fucking two-by-four on a pair of Jimmy Choos.
BORRRRRIIIINNNNNGGGG.
And then I think, holy shit - she’s having sex with Billy Joel.
She’s 25.
That’s like, one [...]

About three months ago, I made my American Idol predictions.
Two of my final three that I chose were correct. (I thought Ace was going to make it further, but that was before I found out that he was the biggest TOOL, ever, like ZOMG.)
Also, I said of Taylor Hicks, “He won’t win, but he’ll be a [...]

Dignity, Out.

Dear America,
Who among you continues to vote for BUCKY COVINGTON on American Idol every damn week?

You should be ashamed of yourselves.  That kid should have been eliminated before he even opened his mouth.
Love,
Jenn. XXOO
P.S. OMG KATHERINE MCPHEE 4-EVAARRRRRR LOL
(Also, I’m saddened by the fact that Ryan Seacrest doesn’t officially end the broadcast by announcing “Seacrest, Out!” anymore.  This amused [...]

I don’t watch TV very much. When I do, I normally alternate between two channels.
Right now, I’m toggling between the priceless combination of America’s Next Top Model (on UPN) and The 750-Pound Man (on TLC).
Both succeeded in making me stop eating my dinner.  Now that’s a diet.

“Your girl is lovely, Hubbell…”

GIRLY DRIVEL ALERT!
The Bachelor: Paris wrapped up tonight.

I’ve only been tuning in very sporatically, so forgive me if my analysis is off but:
Was The Bachelor: Paris TOTALLY The Way We Were?!?!

I realize that my readership for this entry has dwindled down to like, two other people, but hear me out….
In The Way We Were, [...]

Vonda Shepard?!?!?

Things About Which I Am Embarrassed I
I am really, really excited about the new season of American Idol.
My Picks Thus Far…
Katherine McPhee, 21.

Because she’s talented, but mainly because she reminds me of myself.
Hello, narcissism? Speaking.
Ace Young, 25

Because ninety percent of the population would probably have his babies.
Mark my words, Ace will be in the final [...]
