Let's see...

I haven't written too much lately because I haven't had anything really exciting going on. Work has been really busy and kind of frustrating. I just keep hanging on because I know next week I'm going to Paris all week for training!

I don't have too much news but here's a few thoughts on recent events.

- In case you missed it, there was major drama on Celebrity Big Brother in the UK. One more reason why I hate this type of reality show. Give me American Idol any day. Speaking of American Idol, they are showing that here so I can watch it!

- Saturday we went to see Babel. Did I like it? "Ehhh...it was okay." The filming itself was cool, and the soundtrack was great...but I wasn't overly impressed by the story. I'm not really sure what the point was. I guess it was to show a story that spanned 3 cultures but if you want to see an interconnected story across multiple cultures you can just watch The Holiday. I don't want to downplay it. It was good, and I guess I can see why it won a Golden Globe but I don't consider it a must-watch.

- Sunday was the last day of my two weeks without sugar...so I celebrated with a little chocolate Sunday night. Mmmm, so good.

- In a few weeks there is a presentation on global Human Trafficking. (Stop the Traffik) I definitely want to go check it out. This is something I'm really passionate about after visiting a home in Thailand that rescued young girls out of prostitution. Check out the site and see how you can make a difference.

- Last night I watched the first 2 episodes of 24. I finally figured out they are showing the current season here so I decided to watch here instead of on the slingbox. I'll be a few hours behind everyone at home but it's a better picture on a real TV! I just won't be reading any blog posts about 24 for fear of spoilers. It's nice to have Jack back.

- I wish I could have caught the Patriots vs. Colts game. Maybe I'll find a few highlights on-line. I hope this is Peyton's year. He seems like a nice guy and he is funny in the commercials he does (oh yeah, he's also a pretty great quarterback). I guess if it can't be Carson I'll root for Peyton.
