confession time...

...i watched ALOT of BB10. i'm sure i am way too intelligent to watch such reality-TV trash. but the love-triangles, walk-outs, blazing-rows, and rule-breaks are addictive. found this comment on the official website (i am a geek) which sums up the series perfectly:

"the show is crazy. if it translated to a game of football we'd have players refusing to kick the ball, wlking off the pitch because they missed their loved ones or were bored, players breaking the rules and the referee just dong nothing, the goalkeeper refusing to save the goals because they liked the other team too much, players escaping from the pitch, deliberately breaking the rules in the hope they'll be sent off, players saying they dont want the prize money, or want to share it, or accusing others of being in the game only for the money. and worse of all, the 2 million spectators walking off in their droves in disgust."

i wish i was one of the "2 million spectators walking off...in disgust" but as i said: ADDICTIVE.

"nice arnie"

i have the most sweet-hearted, free-spirited, BEAUTIFUL little niece in the whole world (who is also a little bit of a bossy boots but in the cutest way imaginable)! i dropped by my sister's house two days ago (which i can do A LOT more now that i don't work a gazillion miles away from where i live) and she touched my clothes and hair and face saying "nice arnie, nice arnie". my heart EXPLODES with love for this baby...who just had her 2nd birthday (15.08.09): HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

dying to blog about my summer adventures...drum roll please...with photos (ok, maybe - if i can overcome my fear of someone OTHER than my darling sister reading this). until then i leave this sweet delight - a youtube vid about the work that social workers do. wow, turns out some of the celebs involved in the helpgivethemavoice.com campaign ACTUALLY experienced flickers of love and hope from their social workers.
