Gas prices are down signifigantly. How pleasing! Course some folks are claiming that gas companies costs have dropped by a lot more and are reufsing to pass the full savings on to the individual station owners or to us...

How to use a bidet. Ok, it's pretty much what i expected, so I won't be as hesitant as I would've been otherwise.

The Tom Sawyer diner in Paramus burnt down two days ago

So who watched Survivor race war Cook islands. I was not surprised by the reaction to the announcement that this years Survivor was going to be seperated by race. I sort of expected that sort of nonsense. i think it was a lot of hullabaloo, the question is, was Mark Burnett hoping for the hulabas reaction or not? Because once you look at it negatively, it's lose-lose. If there is racial drama, you're racec baiting and a horrid person. And if there is no racial drama and it's just Survivor as usual (which it turned out to be) then folk say that there was no racial issues and it was all a stunt.

Perhaps it was a stunt. perhaps not. But I don't think you can say that it was a stunt simply because there was no racial drama. If seperating by race is bad, then so is gender and age, and I don't recall anyone whining about it last season or in Amazon. I also think that having much more non-whites is a good thing. When there's one lazy black guy, or one whiny asian woman, you can sterotype all black men as being lazy, or all asian women as whiny. When there are five black people or five asians, it's not so easy. you realize that everyone is an individual after all.

In short, STFU about how horrid the racial divide is and just watch.

That said, it was a somewhat boring premiere. But then again, to me, almost every premiere is boring except for the one with Rupert when they to neogitate with islanders, and the season where they hiked for 15 miles. THAT was drama. i generally don't get too into the show until about 6 or 7 people have been eliminated cause there's just too much going on to follow....
