Bears do it in the woods

Please tell me that everyone saw the train wreck that was Britney Spears last night?! OMG! It was like watching a rated R movie with your parents - you want to watch, but you are so embarrassed!




I believe Fall has officially fallen in the Midwest. I walked out of the office this evening at around 6:30pm and it was 61 degree Fahrenheit. Feels really nice. I'm the type of person who likes to sleep when it's cold. I want to sleep in a hooded sweatshirt with the hood up on top of my feather bed cocooned in my down comforter surrounded by at least 6 down pillows. Now it's officially good sleeping weather. What a nice change from the fricking Africa hot triple digit degree temps we had for most of August. Ugh.

My latest reality show that I'm obsessed with is called Survivorman. I know most of you know I'm a complete nerd these days, watching shows like Planet Earth and the Deadliest Catch. The guy who does Survivorman, is thrown into various wilderness conditions for 6 days and 7 nights with no food, water or shelter and has to figure out how to get to civilization. He's like fricking Macgyver for real. He somehow manages to always build a fire. It amazes me, kind of like that movie Cast Away with Tom Hanks. Had that happened to me, I'm so not smart enough to survive. But what I like about the TV show is that this guy is supposed to be some trained professional survivor and yet he constantly makes boneheaded mistakes. I watched one recently where he built his fire too close to his shelter and it caught on fire! He's constantly coming up with creative ways to use trash he's found to make a fishing lure, etc., and he'll forget to bait it. There are some episodes that he doesn't eat for 5 or 6 days. Or he'll eat something truly nasty because it's either that or die. I would throw a massive pity party and lay down and die...or get eaten by a bear. I hope that bear likes Spam, as I have a fondess for it lately.
