FC’s the real Amazing Race fan, so I’d rather let him comment on it. But, I’m watching the 1st episode of this season, and it’s kind of annoying (I mean, families of four? And, where are the other people of color? Only one African-American family? Come on, Asians go around the world too!). nice start though – going from the park under Brooklyn Bridge and getting to Soho and racing to 92nd St/Lexington — a nice spin around NYC as a first leg. Let’s see who gets knocked out first.

P- and I plowed through paella, chorizo, conch fritters, beef brisket, and Sex in the City-sized cupcakes, and Virgin Island rum cake. Also picked up a Circulon Dutch Oven for only $10.00.

All in all very nice.
Saw Corpse Bride on Saturday. Neat stop-action movie; however, I didn’t walk away with a catchy theme I still have with The Nightmare before Christmas.
Finally put together the Ikea dresser that we had bought 2 weeks ago. It took me about 3 hours to get it together, but it is neat.
Desparate Housewives is quickly going into this bizzare Twin Peaks mode where a lot of people start dying. At least it isn’t like Lost, where they revisit the reverse speaking bit-character from Fire Walk With Me.
Amazing Race 8 starts on Tuesday. Let’s see how family teams of four can manage without needing counseling…
