Biggeeesssttt Llllooosssseerrr!

The series premier of Biggest Loser was on last week.  I thought they had an interesting twist this year, in that they announced 3 contestants, and those 3 had to compete for the spot on the show, and the two winners of the challenge get to go to the ranch and are teammates in future episodes.  It seems like every single one of those people needed to be on the show, all of their stories pulled on my heart strings, BUT the previews look like they will have a chance at redemption, and get another shot at getting on the show.  One thing that I DIDN'T like is that one of the women who collapsed cried "My life is over" cause she didn't make the show.  Seriously?  C'mon.  I KNOW dieting and exercise is hard, but really, if you had the motivation to try and get on a TV weight loss show, I'm sure there's some motivation there to get you started on a diet and exercise program!  Don't cry about how your life is over and now you're gonna die.  (insert eye roll here).  And then Jillian walks up to you and says you have another shot - oh! I guess you won't die after all.

I don't have any favorites at the moment, since there wasn't much of a chance to know who is on there...but in the preview I sensed some a.t.t.i.t.u.d.e. from a woman in orange...and from that brief eye-roll I wanted to punch her in the face...or rather I wish Jillian would have....so we'll see how that one pans out...and whether she makes my naughty or nice list...

Until next week!

Summer Music.

I love music. My mom, who has a beautiful voice, has always sang to us, and played the piano for us.  My favorite thing about going to church is listening to the voices sing the beautiful old hymns.  I generally like all genre's of music, and don't preference one genre over another, although when it comes to popular music, I love hearing something new and fresh.

I don't know about you, but my music selection has seriously been lacking as of late.  Seriously.  I mostly listen to the radio, and it seems like they've been playing the same music since February.  What gives?  Earlier this summer I went so far as to download a copy of California Gurls by Katy Perry, with IMMEDIATE buyers remorse because as soon as I paid my 99 cents for the song it was completely overplayed by the radio and now I hate it.  I switch the channel when I hear it come on.  Puke.  Don't get me started on her latest single...something about "going all the way tonight".  Are you kidding me?  And to think her target audience is teenage girls.  Nice role model.

I have recently, as of yesterday, gotten a excited about Maroon 5's new song, "Misery", that was released in June.  It has a really catchy tune...and I have yet to really listen to what the song is about but I like guy's voice.  I am also sorta excited about One Republic's latest album, although I see it was actually released way back in November of 2009 - where the H have I been?  And one of their songs, I realize has been played a lot, but just recently I heard "Secrets", and I love it.  How long will I love it?  Pff...good question.

Another song that I'm currently groovin is Keane's "Stop for a Minute"...shockingly enough they actually play this one on KBCO here in Boulder.  It doesn't really seem like KBCO's genre...beings that they can't get ENOUGH of Cake and Sting...ugh.  C'mon guys, Short Skirt/Long Jacket needs to be retired already.
