Blogging Top Chef: Chewing It Up and Spitting It Out!

http://bloggingtopchefextras.blogspot.com/2007_07_02_archive.html

Monday, July 02, 2007. Actress Jamie Lee Curtis Impression of Top Chef. Why was I drawn to this? I didn't want her to lose.did I? I don't even know her. Why would I wish her harm? I think Ms. Curtis summed up our, the TV audience, obsession with reality TV. No, we do not wish this woman or any other contestant on a reality game show actual physical harm but we do let out a "wahoo" when the contestant, chef in this case, we do not like gets told to "please pack your knives and leave.". Is that a bad thing?

Friday, May 11, 2007. Okhe’s cute.but a personal motto of Love, Peace, and Happiness . It’s a bit too cheesy for me.maybe I’ll give him a chance to convince me otherwise. Attempts to stay positive and balanced by meditating with a 100-year-old Zen Master .combine that with Mr. Love, Peace and Happiness this could be a blissfully boring season. She’s from Texas and likes her some BIG BURGERS .Don’t we all! Hurricane Howie .I see some people’s karma (ahem. Brian and Camille) going up in smoke. She has a pa...

Coming or Going | Cheetahs Nevah Prospah

https://heartodarkness.wordpress.com/2008/01/31/coming-or-going

It was nice to finally see the family. Both hers and mine. It was a great month, Christmas in ‘Bama with my family and The Girl, New Orleans for New Year’s, skiing, steaks and karaoke in LA with my west coast friends, and champagne and fine restaurants in Manhattan with the east coasters. I couldn’t have asked for much more. We were going back. I was exciting to be back, sad to leave, but happy I had such a good time. More troubling was a nagging question in the back of mind:. We arrived in Kenya, and th...

Wan Wathii Amerika!: Experiencing the Election in Africa | Cheetahs Nevah Prospah

https://heartodarkness.wordpress.com/2008/11/06/wan-wathii-amerika-experiencing-the-election-in-africa

Experiencing the Election in Africa. In September, I went to the Kenya-Namibia futbol game with JimmyJames, Dainty, Donut, and JimmyJames’ brother-in-law. It was every bit as rife with beer and somewhat jingoistic pride as any country’s national sporting event would be. There were chants and cheers and songs and when a goal was scored by Kenya road flares burst alight across the stadium and empty plastic bottles and cans rained down from the upper sections. It was frickin great. Exhaled in disbelief....

Destructing Customs | Cheetahs Nevah Prospah

https://heartodarkness.wordpress.com/2008/09/18/destructing-customs

The government decided it wanted the land for its ministries and parilaments so the whole market was torn down to accommodate the swelling administration of the nation. It’s the holidays that really make you remember family and nostalgia when living abroad. I always knew the US was special. I remember when my dad told me a bit about his experiences moving across the Atlantic in 1976:. 8220;For the first time in my life, I had money left at the end of the month.”. This year, the construction team had just...
