Pics, Survivor recap, Ramblings
Remember I said I had a snake in my water equipment? Here is a pic of it.
Here is a pic of my Audrey set up on our kitchen counter. Speaking of the Audrey, I added further geektronics last night. Now when a phone call comes in, not only does the caller id come up on the Audrey, it also flashes up on my PC. How cool huh? 🙂
Survivor this year is just flat out great. The most entertaining stuff on tv right now in my opinon. How great was it that they brought back all the kicked off people and let them compete against the remaining people??? The fact they won was even better. Again, like almost every other Survivor a black contestant made a very poor showing. I’m no racist but for whatever reason, almost every black contestant on Survivor has come off very poorly whether it has been through editing or reality. However in this case there was no sugar coating it. Osten, the most fit looking contestant of this show’s cast basically quit. He asked his team to vote him out. He basically was ready to quit a few days in but they refused to vote him out at that time. This time they granted him his wish. At tribal council Jeff probst basically embarrassed him. Osten expressed how he was just done and wanted to leave. Jeff simply asked the others if they agreed he was going to go. They all said yes, no official paper ballot vote was taken. Jeff said, fine, Osten came up and Jeff put out his torch and said go home. Jeff laid his torch down on the floor, no parting words were shown by Osten, he was just gone. This has never happened before in Survivor. What an embarrassment. Osten is a schlub.
Last night we carved our pumpkin. Instead of putting it outside it went into the fridge so it keeps for today. My mom didn’t understand but I explained how quickly a pumpkin rots in the Florida environment once you carve it, plus it would have been filled with frogs, insects and God knows what else if we left it outside. Tonight we have nothing big planned besides hanging out for the handful of trick or treaters that we will get.
The pool is slowly recuperating. It went from cloudy green mess to clear but it still has a light green color to it. I will blast it with muratic acid and chlorine this weekend to kill whatever is in there yet.
This weekend we have a lot of home stuff to do. Clean the inside and mow outside. At least we can get away with mowing every other weekend now. Next weekend I will be in Green Bay with Keener at Lambeau Field watching the Eagles. It will be wild. I have to scrape together whatever semblance of winter clothes I have left. It is going to be cold.
no quitter
I’m with you on the Osten thing. I too am no racist but each African American guy has come across as lazy and lookin to “get his”. They’ve done the least amount of work each time or eaten the most or both. Osten is talking about being tired, does he think the others are 100%? A pathetic quitter, should be ashamed to show his face at the season ending reunion, I was disgusted by him from the second episode. Great TV though!
