san diego, favre and misc tv/movies (IKEA you not)
Talladega Nights was so funny!! From the baby Jesus to the over the top ad spoofs to the Whitesnake-inspired scene I loved it.
Project Runway was a bit of a rollercoaster. The design challenge last night was to create an outfit from materials gathered at a recycling plant in New Jersey!! So tired of these reality competition shows keeping freakshows around (ratings, spectacle, cheese, I know, I know) and sacrificing people with legitimate talent. Sad to see Alison go. She is a cute person of immense talent who got cut due to an albeit wonky dress, which was such a fluke. She forever won me over when she said she half expected to hear the Sopranos theme music on their way to the recycling plant. Glad Michael is raking in the wins. I agree with my Mom, the guy with the neck tattoo probably really deserved the win with his intricate paper dress. The bodice work alone took that challenge.
Took a quick trip to San Diego a few weeks back. Quite fun. Highlights included:
The Zoo!
The theme seemed to be baby animals. So cute. Even the little baby boars were cute.
Tiny meerkats, peacocks, gorillas and a baby panda. I was a little nervous about the baby panda, who was napping way up in a tree, falling. My favorites were the orangutans and the gorillas. I agree with Brooke and Katie that the koalas looked like little old men. So great. The San Diego Zoo is lovely. If I lived in SD I'd get a season pass and go often.
Andy Warhol's Dream America
On a whim I dropped by the museum. So glad I did. Andy Warhol's Dream America-a huge collection of his screenprints on display. What an experience. I liked the double exposure of Jackie O. and Kafka ones quite a bit. Link below:

La Jolla
What a pretty beach and walk. San Diego is pretty cool.
IKEA
Finally visited an IKEA. They are cool. I left feeling overwhelmed and as though I need to get my life in order. The mazarin tort is yummy.
My pictures turned out really bad. $9 disposable camera, who would have guessed? When Brooke sends some pics, I'll do some postin'.
