Is Jay going to compete in the PF Chang Marathon here in January, Jose? That one is a real headache for us.

I don't think so.  He lives in San Diego, but I think his next possible race will be in Hawaii.

What is with Nicole Kidman? Outside of the fact she always looks in her photos as if she just smelled a really bad fart, is she on stilts?

RE:  Last night's THE AMAZIN' RACE

SPOILER WARNING!!!

I do not like non-elimination races--not at this late stage of the race, anyhoo.  It just seems to be a cheat.  But at least now there's a chance--no matter how slight--that the Globtrotters (who I now truly detest) will be bumped out of the final three.

I found several (or at least two, LOL) of the teams' behaviors last night abhorrent.

And as for last night's "Amazing Race"...

NO REAL SPOILER ALERT NEEDED


That had to be some of the worst Italian diction I've ever heard.  Of course, the voice was nothing to write home about either.

And how come he was singing "Il mio tesoro" when he should have been singing "Deh vieni alla finestra" since they were looking for a mandolin?  -Yes, I'm that much a music geek. ::)

Zach asked me last night, "What language is that?"  To which I replied, "Italian--kind of."  ;)

Too bad about that bee sting on Nicole Kidman's lip. Also, too bad about the dry-cleaners ruining her date's tux and his having to scrounge around for something in the trunk of the car. Too bad he also couldn't get an appointment with Teddy for a haircut.

And I'd like to congratulate my youngest brother, Jay, for completing the Ironman Triathlon in Tempe, Arizona, yesterday. I just checked his stats on the Ironman site, and can't really tell what "place" he finished in, but still he did complete the race which consisted of:

A 2.4 mile swim followed by
A 112 mile bike ride/race followed by
A 26.2 mile run (marathon)

WHEW!!

That's great. I'm curious, how long does it take to bike 112 miles?

I think i could definitely do the swimming. Not sure about the biking. That sounds like a lot. I for sure could not do the running, since i've never run before.

Yes TAR last night was very exciting...but the teams are turning kinda mean. I think all the teams are good...the blonde couple especially, although they are not my favorites.

Dan and Sam's bickering does sort of crack me up sometimes.

Here are my brother's timings - which I'm guessing are very close to average - if not slightly above average:

SWIM: 1:50:20
BIKE: 6:55:49
RUN: 5:12:12

I tried to watch the new Bollywood movie DIL BOLE HADIPPA last night, but just couldn't make it past the 1/2 hour mark. I skipped forward to see the various musical numbers and even they were all "eh."

The plot had a plucky Punjabi gal who wants to be on the town's cricket team...but they won't allow girls, so she disguises herself as a boy.

RE:  Last night's THE AMAZIN' RACE

SPOILER WARNING!!!

I do not like non-elimination races--not at this late stage of the race, anyhoo.  It just seems to be a cheat.  But at least now there's a chance--no matter how slight--that the Globtrotters (who I now truly detest) will be bumped out of the final three. 

re; the 4 teams that were left before last night's show:
I'm not crazy about them either (non-elims). Although i thought there was a 50-50 chance we'd have one last night. I agree i don't care for the globies. However I think they are much stronger than the miss america couple.  I don't really like the couple that was saved. The guy seems nice (the wife seems whiney to me). I just find them not very good. They almost always finish last, even when they start out on even footing.  They are not particularly good at physical stuff or mental. So i'm fine to see them go. I would not be happy if they won.

As for the globetrotters, they obviously have a huge physical advantage. And that actually annoys me at times. I really hope we don't have a footrace at the end. That would be so unfair.  I feel like that one globetrotter was totally trying to slow the other team down. And it was unfair that he was allowed to go down before the couple since they were both finished. I just find their attitudes (both globetrotters) sort of nasty.

My favorite team is meghan and cheyne (sp?). They seem like a nice couple. And they are good at the race (both physical and mental stuff). I know some might have thought he wasn't that nice last episode. But i didn't mind what he did. He had every right to be upset that the one guy would not go down the ladder. And while i think he could/should have explained that they were taking a taxi (after they said they would work the globbies). I don't think he was required to do so. He maybe just didn't go about exactly right.  Although that said, the only reason the couple agreed to work with the globbies was because they knew they were just gonna follow them anyways!

As for the gay brothers, i sort of like them. I don't think it was particularly nice that they stole the Miss America team's taxi. but i don't hate them for it. The taxi driver agreed to do it. And really shouldn't it be the taxi driver who has some sort of loyalty. I mean if you agree to drive someone, then aren't you sort of obligated to do what you said you'd do?  Anyhow my bigger problem with the brothers is a) listening to them bicker all the time. And b) they actually aren't that good at the race. I still remember them not even trying that simple math equation and giving their calculator to the poker chicks. And last night they couldn'd do the kayaking.  They seem nice enough. And i wouldn't be furious if they won. But they just don't seem that
great.

I think my first 3-D experience may have been a special showing of one CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON or REVENGE OF THE CREATURE on tv back in the late 70s or early 80s. Had to go to 7-11 or some such place to pick up the glasses. Don't recall if it was effective or not, but it was fun.

RUN: 5:12:12

I used to swim a lot. so i know i could easily do 2 hours of swimming non-stop. it's funny, but i have been biking everyday for months and yet 7 hours of biking sounds really tough. Much harder than the swimming. I think it would depend on the wind. If there was no wind and a few hills going down ...

Does your brother train in all of these 3 fields all year?

I saw HOUSE OF WAX on a re-release in the mid 1970's, I think.

I think we also saw BLAZING STEWARDESSES or some such in 3-D at the drive in theatre.

Annette in 3-D?!!!   Nobody could sit in the first two rows.

Although that said, today i could do 0 hours swimming and 0 hours biking.
Even though my cold is over, i still feel slightly crappy. Very low energy. Not that steady on my feet. Last night i had to do to a birthday dinner for my brother-in-law and i actually had to hold my head up with my arm. How pathetic is that!
