Are You a Regular Here?

Any one else inexplicably frightened by prunes? I know I have no reason to be, but for some reason they just freak me out. Even more freakish than a prune, is baby food prunes. That is something I never want to be a part of again. The weird thing though? T loved them!! Don't get me wrong, I quite enjoy plums, but prunes...not something I can just pop in my mouth and enjoy. I would need some time to psych myself for one of those puppies.

Don't know why.

Figs also freak me out.
Maybe it's the names. No other fruits freak me out, in fact the only fruit I don't enjoy eating is pears, and that's because of the texture. I've tried them a few times but it's always the same result. I just don't care for pears.
Prunes and figs though - I think it might be their names. Any one up to offer new suggestions? Maybe if we changed the names I might be able to try a prune or a fig. It could just be me, but every time I hear the word, or see a prune, all I think of is old people eating their bran muffin and drinking their prune juice to help keep them regular. Ok, so it might have just been my Grandma who did that, but still.

I'm sorry Sunsweet, but you haven't won me over with your commercials touting the all around wonderfulness of the prune - they just make me a little queasy.

Did Hugh Watch?

For some unknown reason, I have an inexplicable crush on Hugh Jackman. I have no idea why, since after a perusal of his work listed on www.imdb.com, I have only seen one of his movies. I have no interest in X-Men and it's offshoots, I never saw him on Broadway (although I really wanted to), but for some reason, there's just something about Hugh. Now that I think about it, I also have an inexplicable thing for Hugh Grant...maybe it's a combo of the name Hugh and a foreign accent?? I don't know, but as I fast forwarded through all the unnecessary Oscar bits last night, I made sure to watch all of Hugh's moment. I even watched the Barbara Walters special just to see Hugh. A big thanks goes out to Mark for turning the channel to Nascar and forgetting to turn it back, resulting in me missing Hugh's segment...Thanks Mark!
I even wanted to watch his much panned, short lived, CBS show Viva Laughlin, but they cancelled it after one episode. Could it have been that bad with Hugh in it??
Regardless, I heart Hugh Jackman.

You Go Right Ahead, I'll Meet You In The Car

Tonight Mark asked me if I would bungee jump off of this, the Verzasca Dam in Switzerland, for $1,000,000. My answer is an unwavering NO. Not for a million dollars cash, a million dollars in shoes, not even for a million pairs of shoes.
There is no chance on God's green earth that I would jump off anything higher than a normal height stair. I'm pretty sure it would take plenty of coaxing...and the promise of many pairs of shoes...just to get me to walk across this dam.
Yet another reason why you won't see me as a contestant on any installment of The Amazing Race. I am happy it's back on for my entertainment though, and to read the awesome recaps on EW.

Monday

Anyone want to send me here?

Loves Lost

I rediscovered two lost loves this week (bet you thought this was another ode to LOST, didn't you??)
The first one is all thanks to Debbie, since she is the one that introduced me to them.
The second is King Apparatus. I discovered them back in high school, but it wasn't until last night at the gym that I remembered how much I liked them! Now, unless you're into a Canadian third wave ska music, you've probably never heard of them, but if you enjoy checking out new (old) bands, and types of music, give them a whirl.
