Scrabble Vocabulary
Matt and I had a really difficult Scrabble board the other day, so we learned some new words to make it work. You can learn from our game, so I give you the first ever: Scrabble Vocabulary!
mage [meyj] n. A magician or sorcerer.
griff [grif] n. A person of mixed blood.
valium [val-ee-uhm] n : a tranquilizer (trade name Valium) used to relieve anxiety and relax muscles; acts by enhancing the inhibitory actions of the neurotransmitter GABA; can also be used as an anticonvulsant drug in cases of nerve agent poisoning.
ouija [wee-juh or, often, -jee] n : a board with the alphabet on it; used with a planchette to spell out supernatural messages
qi [chœ] n : the circulating life energy that in Chinese philosophy is thought to be inherent in all things; in traditional Chinese medicine the balance of negative and positive forms in the body is believed to be essential for good health **Note: I thought this was spelled "chi" or "chee"... I had no idea it was qi!
boned [bohnd] adj:
1. having a particular kind of bone or bony structure (used in combination): beautifully boned; raw-boned; small-boned.
2. having the bones taken out; cooked or served with the bones removed: boned chicken; boned veal.
3. braced or supported with stays, as a corset.
4. fertilized with bone: boned land. **Admit it... you thought this meant something else, didn't you? Well you were wrong. Matt and I would never play "dirty Scrabble."
Apparently, I'm a genius.
Matt had these letters to build from in Scrabble the other day. He was really frustrated, so he flashed me his letters to prove he had a difficult hand. He was not expecting me to give him a good word from those letters in .00385 seconds.
"Valium"
I am a genius.

More entertaining images from ANTM...
Click on the photos to view them larger. Melrose is now my favorite by the way. That might be the kiss of death for her though, since all my favorites thus far have been eliminated, and you saw what happened to Sadie on The Bachelor.
America's Next Top Reality Moments
Do you ever watch America's Next Top Model? I love that show.
Last night was reality TV revelry at my house, mainly cuz Matt had to work late, so I had time to catch up on the drivel that he doesn't like to watch with me. :)
First up was my recorded episode of Real World/ Road Rules: The Dual where they finally sent Beth home. Then it was last week's episode of ANTM. I can never keep the twins straight (or gay) so I'm glad one of them was finally sent home. I still don't know if the one that takes good pictures is still in it or not, but I thought this screen shot was the best photo I have seen from either one of them. But according to fourfour, it was the lesbitwin that got eliminated last week.
Whether or not you actually watch America's Next Top Model, read the FUNNIEST recaps of the episodes every Monday on fourfour.
And after Matt got home and a couple games of Scrabble (more on that later) we watched the finale of The Bachelor. I was so upset PLo (Prince Lorenzo) picked Jen over Sadie. (Btw, Jen is the blonde on the left, Sadie is the blonde on the right.) I wish I never got sucked into this whole Bachelor viewing, and I'm never watching it again! Down with PLo!
However, I did come in third out of nine girls at work trying to predict the results each week. I think that's pretty good considering I'd never seen an episode of The Bachelor before this season. But now that I know the trickery of the editing of this darn show... I will prevail next season! Guess I'll have to keep watching after all....

You thought just Tom was crazy...
Scientologists really are crazy. They suck so many celebrities in just by feeding their egos.Read this interview with their crazy leader - who also happened to be Tom's best man...
Scientology Leader Gave ABC News First-Ever Interview
Now I don't think I like any of the celebrities jumping on the Scientology bandwagon. They're all B-Listers anyway.

VHS, 30, dies of loneliness
The home-entertainment format lived a fruitful life
By DIANE GARRETT
We shall miss VHS for its profound ability to make us rack up service fees at the video store (for not being kind, and rewinding,) for the wavy lines that sometimes appeared on the screen after a movie had been watched too many times, and for the fun tape inside that always got tangled into a mess.
Oh, wait... we won't miss it at all!!! So long, VHS! You were good while you lasted!
Christmas Music?!?
I swear I heard Christmas music on 101.9 this morning on the way into work.Since Thanksgiving is just a week away, I guess it's not really all that early, but it still doesn't feel like the holidays yet. Maybe it won't until is snows, but I'm not really looking forward to that.
I am however looking forward to Christmas in Las Vegas! :)

Questions
Here are some questions to ponder on a dark, rainy day:Can you cry under water?
How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?
Why do you have to "put your two cents in".. . but it's only a "penny for your thoughts"? Where's that extra penny going to?

Why does a round pizza come in a square box?
What disease did cured ham actually have?
How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?!
Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up like every two hours?
If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?
Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV?
Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?
Why do doctors leave the room while you change? They're going to see you naked anyway.
Why is "bra" singular and "panties" plural?
Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?
Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane?
If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat?
Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're both dogs!
If Wiley E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that ACME crap, why didn't he just buy dinner?
If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, what is baby oil made from?
Do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune?
Why did you just try singing the two songs above?
Why do they call it an asteroid when it's outside the hemisphere, but call it a hemorrhoid when it's in your butt?
