Apparently the bug from West Texas has a time delay. Either that or I got it from someone on the plane(s). When I got home I was unbelievably hot. For no reason. It wasn't that warm in our apartment. Then I had a fight with the toilet about how number two is supposed to look. And about ten minutes ago the harfing began. Did I ever mention how much I completely and utterly hate harfing? It makes me weep like a child. I. hate. it. I'll spare you the rest of the details because there are plenty of details, but I suddenly feel woosy again. *cry*

I'm at Misti's for my last night. I've been here all week and I love it. I fly out early in the morning and I'm stuck here at almost 3 o'clock thinking about stupid Big Brother. SO I have to post.
I thought of the perfect plan. April, somehow through the grace of something unholy, won Head of Household. Really, this event was remarkable in its dumb-luck. If you saw the episode you knew it was just as unlikely as me by her reaction of "OMG" *grabs own breasts* "I won?" *Cherubs and angels alike immediately fluster about as they take up arms to battle all demons who were released as the pits of hell began to ice over* Tell me you didn't feel the cosmic shift.
Apparently there's a plan already in place to nominate Howie and Janelle and then try, once again, to backdoor James. Aside from a few idiot side-tracked players, they've attempted to get rid of him and failed at least three times. As much as he really needs to go, if he does go this week, it's basically over for Howie and Janelle. Those two are my last hope of actually watching the rest of the season. If they get kicked off, I won't watch the rest because the other four choices to win are at the top of my "Must not duplicate these people when I become God and recreate the Earth" list.
So, my plan. It's known in the house that April doesn't like Ivette. April should nominate James and Howie. Howie chooses Janelle to play for Veto. Janelle wins Veto. Removes Howie. April nominates Ivette. Janelle and Howie vote for Ivette. Beau and Maggie vote for James. April breaks the tie by evicting Ivette. That brings the teams to an even 3-3 if James knows what's good for him. This of course, is a very long shot. April isn't smart enough to think of it and I don't think anyone else would put faith in the system, but if this were a plan and it did work, I would vow to watch the rest of the season even if Howie and Janelle go. It basically ensures that James will win the game, which people everywhere are predicting. Unfortunately, even if he does make it to the end, people wouldn't vote for him so he wouldn't win. But he would still get a nice fat second place check, well deserved.
Did I mention it's 3 a.m.? My God.

No, there's no real blogger strike. I just lost my luster I suppose. I went to Quakecon last week in Dallas and met up with some folks from Inside the Game. We had a nice event. Things went smoothly for the most part. It was definitely a success after we got our bandwidth from somewhere else. Overall I had a great time with the whole gang. I'd go into more, but at this moment I have a horrible headache and I'm biding my time until my tylenol PM kicks in.
Big Brother has been hugely dramatic and appealing to me this year. I've watched it before, but I've never watched the live feed and the show turns into soooo much more when you know more detail. I'm not sure if it really is more dramatic or if it's just the live feed that helps. I'm sure it's the live feed. I just typed "regardless" and I swear to God as I typed it, Ivette said it, so I had to erase it and not use it. Stupid Ivette. She is kinda funny sometimes though. This morning she was bitching at Beau to wake up and kept going on and on. I don't even remember what she said, but it was funny.
Okay I'm going to lay in my bed and watch some Aqua Teen.

A day later and James is still twisting and turning. Sarah is still preaching how wronged they have been. He has her spouting is quote of the season "Just watch the tapes. You'll see." Which is obviously ironic because when people watch the tapes they'll find out they were right and poor Sarah is going to see how very wrong she is. Also, Ivette's quote of the season is "Do you understand what I'm saying?" She has said it approximately 73 times in the last 15 minutes I've been watching. Oop she just said it again. Gah. That's all.

Interesting.
So you all know there is a vote on Big Brother 6 right now to see who gets to go back into the house next week. The vote ends on Wednesday night. That's the 10th. I requested that my loyal readership vote for Kaysar, if you'll recall. Another website that I've been reading, HamsterWatch.Com, has an interesting picture of a poll that is already up at CBS.com. They have these polls running constantly for some fantasy big brother league of extraordinary bullshit. Regardless, it's interesting to note that Eric is available to vote as a final winner on those polls, but Kaysar and Michael are not. There have been rumor leaks that Eric only got on the show because his brother or cousin or uncle works for The Amazing Race, which is also a CBS show. Back to the poll. At first I thought, well maybe it's just delayed in removing names, but then I remembered Eric was voted off before Kaysar, so that can't be it. It is all very fishy and in my reality soul, if Eric goes back into the house, I will be reality crushed. I might not even watch the rest of the show. I'll just read the website. It has spoilers before the shows air anyway. Yay for realistic reality drama!
Oh speaking of. Aside from the poll fixing, I demand a recount escapades, Howie nominated James and Sarah because he heard that James swore to Ivette on the Bible that if he won HoH next week, he would put up Howie and Rachel. I tuned into the live cast tonight in time to see the "discussion" between Howie, Janelle, James and Sarah. James went outside to campaign and began by saying "We know we're done in the game, so that's not why we're here. We're here because we feel like you are friends and we just don't want you guys to trust Maggie and her group. We love you and please believe me so after Sarah's ass is outta here I can still have a chance." Okay I made up that last sentence, but that's why he made the speech. They were out there for probably 30-45 minutes talking. Saying the same thing over and over. Howie says, "you have to understand, I made that decision because I felt you guys were going to stab me in the back. If I'm wrong, I'll be an asshole." He isn't wrong, he isn't an asshole, but Sarah doesn't know any better and James is playing is violin like a champ. He demands that he didn't swear on the Bible. He never offered to put up Howie and Rachel. Maggie is making it all up to dwindle their group. He knows his game is finished so that's not why he's out there talking. I'm so, so incredibly glad that Howie didn't buy it. I thought for a little while that he was. Janelle actually did buy it, but Howie is standing firm in his belief and he is correct. We saw the swearing on the Bible. Unfortunate for James that BB decided to air that bit o' footage.
Anyway, this is really long and I need to sleep. Holy shit 3:30, yeah I do.

Angst McAngst!
I'm doing okay with the running. I went the last two days, but I skipped days Monday and Tuesday. I can actually tell a difference in my body. I don't feel like my stomach is distended and beer gutish. The scale says I'm down by about 5 pounds in the mornings. By the evenings I'm only down by 2.5 or 3. Anyway, this weeks running wasn't as easy as last week. Last week I had the Eye of the Tiger mentality. I couldn't be stopped! You can stop the Eye! This week I have more like the Eye of my cat Morrigan. She's spazzy and sleeps a lot. My runs were shorter than last week. Today is my one mile jog because it's Friday. I hope I make it. I'm definitely going to try. T minus 7 minutes til try time. Woo. I'm nervous.

Okay so, Kaysar got evicted tonight and BB announced that America can vote to put someone back in that was evicted. Unfortunately the only way to vote is to text message. Michael is number 1, Eric is number 2 and Kaysar is number 3. If you so choose to vote with a text message, please vote for Kaysar!!!! You text message to CBSTV which is 22788. I voted a few times, but obviously standard text message rates apply. I don't know if that means my free text messages apply, I'm sure they don't. Vote Kaysar!!!!!!!! Or Michael. Either way, don't vote Eric for the love of anything ever.
