It's time to rant again about The Amazing Race. In last night's episode, Rob & Amber managed to convince other teams to take a penalty during the eat the side of beef challenge. It's a four hour penalty and if Rob couldn't handle the food, then the other teams could have eaten their meal in 3 hours and still been a hour ahead without taking the penalty. I really don't want "Romber" to win but if the other teams don't wake up, then they deserve last place. It is an unfair advantage that with one highly recognizable team, people throughout the world are more willing to help them win over the other teams.

And if Mondo and I had been on this TAR, Mondo could have powered down that side of beef in no time. This would have been a good challenge.

    Four pounds of beef-like substances? Are you kidding me? You (and I do mean you) would have had to carry me to the pit stop.

    What a pisser.

    I am thinking the producers did this on purpose to shake up the game. I read online somewhere that on earlier seasons a penalty for blowing off a task was 12 hours. So four hours and bunching means it's an option. My guess is they wanted to see if anyone would take the bait.

    Did my first post ever show up? I think it is comment limbo. I am having a heck of a time here.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

Most Hobbit minded people have already seen the latest installment so this is for those of you waiting for the crowds to go down. Part 2 is much better than part 1. This applies to all viewers. Where the gap happens if you have not read the book (including the appendices) you will probably like the whole movie. If you've read the book and taken the time to read the appendices, then you'll appreciate the back story that's presented here. The spirit of Tolkien is present and Desolation of Smaug fits well within what will become a 6 part movie. What I liked....The opening sequence. This is not in the book and I had to look it up in the appendices and sure enough, Gandalf and Thorin did meet in Bree. Thranduil and Legolas father/son relationship. I liked it. While only a mere mention in the appendices, in this movie we see Legolas loyal to his father. That Legolas doesn't mesh with the person he becomes and it will be interesting to see what happens to Legolas in the nex...

COASTAL AREAS OF CALIFORNIA - OREGON - WASHINGTON - BRITISHCOLUMBIA - AND ALASKA....THE TSUNAMI WARNING AND WATCH STATUS IS CANCELED FOR CALIFORNIA - OREGON - WASHINGTON - BRITISH COLUMBIA - AND ALASKA... It's good to know that today's media is so excited for another tsunami, that newscasters managed to panic coastal residents for thousands of miles. My neighbor came rushing out her house to call out "tsunami" in 3 hours! She was ready to evacuate. We could not convice her that while we are near the beach, it is a good mile away, with a major freeway inbetween us and a nice rolling hill. She was still ready to go to higher ground, bathrobe and all. Luckily, the Weather Channel has announced the cancellation of the alert. I guess I can sleep now and not have to worry about being washed away.

Calgary, Canada - The Starfleet Experience

Image
Against all odds, the Star Trek Starfleet Academy Experience was in Calgary the same time as me! It was interactive with games, Klingon language lessons, and the Kobayashi Maru exam. All of it is to test what area you'll be admitted into Starfleet. Entrances are timed to reduce wait time to do the activities and it never felt crowded. Here's my image getting ready to beam up. And if this plays correctly, it's my actual beam up. Turns out I'm Uhura and bound for Communications!
