Thanksgiving Blows
Just the one update today (probably), but it's a good one: seven journalers wrote a tragic yet hilarious tale of anthrax-laden turkey, lesbian love affairs, etc. Just remember, any Thanksgiving where everyone leaves the house alive is a success, whether you're quarantined or not!

The next to get voted off Survivor is...
On another note, here's an interview with a guy who was one of the finalists for the show but didn't make it. He is a SCARY annoying dude, who apparently yells his comments a lot and does friendly punches, but was determined to be "too nice" for the show. Basically, you read this thing and you will be SO glad this guy didn't make it. I mean, I may not like Carl because he's a dentist and I have major dentist issues, and Tom is weird, but this dude would frighten me. Meanwhile the reporter's sitting there thinking "I have a strange job" and the guy's own wife said he'd be voted off first for being annoying. Makes you wonder how they hooked up, huh?

Ummmmm....
This guy's written this whole long spiel about how to get handicapped people on Survivor. I realize how awful this may sound for me to say, but I've got a handicapped parent and I find this incredibly bloody unlikely that this could happen in the slightest. Um, vision-impaired people could do memory matches (visual memory)? What? And while yeah, there's some sophisticated wheelchairs out there, even your most basic crappy wheelchair like my dad has costs a ton of money. An all-terrain chair is mucho mucho money that most handicapped people aren't going to be able to afford. I somehow doubt Mark Burnett's gonna provide them with such a chair. And as for the ONE luxury item, there's no way most handicapped people are going to be able to go without a fair number of materials. The amount of crap we have to take with us just leaving the HOUSE, even ... I can't imagine how someone handicapped would do with regards to a lack of toilets in the wilderness, and I don't want to think about it. (Yes, I know people have climbed mountains, etc.- but they got to bring their own supplies. Would Burnett let them do that on TV? I'm suspecting no.)
While it's a nice idea to want to see active handicapped people on television, why isn't this guy trying to promote the athletic events he's mentioning towards the end of the article and trying to get them on TV instead of going on about Survivor?

In which we get into trouble
Once upon a time, a team captain at the high school completely lost it and started throwing a hissy fit and screaming obscenities at his coach at a game. And one of our sports guys, completely astonished at the whole thing, decided to write about it. As you can probably imagine, that ticked a lot of people off. I won't get into the details of that, but most people have been using the "he's just a kid" thing to say that this shouldn't have been mentioned at all. He's nearly a legal adult, for one thing, and for another, it's about time he learned to not show his frustration in THAT kind of manner, especially before he hits adulthood. There's just no way this kind of behavior should be acceptable and gotten away with. The first time he mouthed off to his supervisor at Burger King, he'd get his butt canned, you know? I really have no idea about how his parents raised him and I don't want to talk about that in any case, but I'm amazed he doesn't seem to know that he should keep the cussing out the coach at home, where it belongs. It's not just him either, though. When your school has a bad reputation and you hear stories all the time about students chanting racist slurs and insults at games, you do have to wonder about what is going on there. We don't mention these things that often, but they happen a lot more than the general public would find out about from us.

Buffy: The Musical ROCKED!
I loved that for once there was a musical with an actual reason for singing! Here's why else it was good: lyrics and best lines. And Buffy/Spike relationshippers will probably be happy for awhile, even if "he's the guy she shouldn't go for" and "romance never goes well on Buffy." And Spike's gonna go crazy and wear... gray. (By the way: the numbers on the shirts? I told you it was a fashion statement and not a secret code. Sheesh!)
Big spoilins for #9.

So Bill Maher came to UC Davis the other week...
(Yes, I know, I'm really late on this. It's not my fault. Pitas kept crashing while I was uploading.)
And apparently, our reporter and photographer there said he swears like a mofo, to the point where it was hard to find a quote for him. Lovely. This isn't our article, but someone's column from watching the show, which apparently sucked.
Bill doesn't think his show will last past next year.

The more interested in romance a teen is, the more likely they'll be depressed.
Was that a surprise to you? No, me neither. I find it interesting that they claim when teens get involved in romantic relationships, they neglect relationships with family and friends. Hell, that's not only teens, that's almost everyone I've ever met in a relationship, regardless of age :P

I told you Martha Stewart was a biyotch
Once upon a time, Martha thought she'd force her (more than 600) employees to host intimate dinner parties at home instead of having a big group party. Most of her employees, however, were less than thrilled at this idea and didn't want to RSVP. She is pissed that she didn't get enormous and immediate yeses and apparently told them that if you weren't excited to throw your own dinner parties, then the terrorists have won. (The HELL?)
