While the computer was in time-out.

Actually a good few days.

Still no joy on the job front. Filling out applications is becoming very depressing.

Biking is going well. Wednesday I rode all the way to Starport.. just shy of 10 miles! And I felt pretty good at the end. Time was roughly one hour, with stops for lights and water. I've begun keeping my pedaling pace by singing Jodie Calls Out loud. :) Gotten me some odd looks.. I've figured out that on weird bikes most of the fine speed control is on the front derailleur. For flat ground I've found that 3rd on the rear and mid-to-upper range on the front gives me good speed with light effort. 4th gear is still a bitch. Refuses to catch.

Went to see Survivor and CSI at Mom's place, after a wonderful pizza dinner (thank you Kiri!) Nice to see that I was dead right in guessing who would be voted back in. The merge took me by surprise, but..

Best Immunity Talisman Ever. For those of you who do not watch, after the two tribes merge into one, immunity is given to only one person, preventing them from being voted out. In past years, the "Immunity Talisman" has been a necklace. This year, in keeping with the pirate theme, it is a cutlass and sword belt, with a pistol attached. Rupert was born to wear this!

Maximum Leader Savage takes the walk of shame. Bye, loser!

CSI was excellent, with a lot of twists.

Today? Matrix Revolutions!

First time that boy doesn't win immunity, the entire rest of Balboa is going to vote him off. He's too damn good.

Well, maybe.. he does seem to have a pretty good alliance going. Think of it this way. Rupert and Burton are by far the strongest players left in the game. Isn't it better for the Drakes and Lil to hang together and pick off the Morgans? I'd see those two as my meal ticket to the final five, and after that?
