And, why was he yelling at her this time? Because she picked up his backpack, which he stupidly dropped because he's too much of a girlie man to carry it himself, then couldn't keep up with him in the foot race. What was he thinking? That the backpack with all his money, property, ID, passport, etc., would just magically stay there waiting for him? Again: yeah, right!

Gah! I have to just walk away from that. As much as I like The Amazing Race, and have since the very first season, I must admit, I'm getting really annoyed by some of the complete and total (pardon my language) assholes they've been allowing to run the race. It gives me a headache, makes my stomach tie itself up in knots, and generally makes me squirm with embarrassment for so many of these people.

Anyway, last night I finally finished up the 36 Christmas cards for the Weetabix card exchange, and will mail them out today. Now I just have twenty more to make! Go me! Actually, it won't be too bad: I have a simple design in my head so it shouldn't take me too long. I'm hoping I'll be done by the weekend.

After all that excitement I went to bed and watched one of my Invader Zim DVDs. I was hoping to see the X-mas episode, but only made it through "Vindicated!", "The Voting of the Doomed" and "Gaz: Taster of Pork". Ahhh! I love me some Zim! I love me some GIR even more!

from the episode "Vindicated"
ZIM: (after stuffing a giant globe into a fishbowl containing a goldfish) Behold, GIR! The latest plan to destroy the humans.
GIR: I gotta eat that fish.
ZIM: No, GIR. The fish is part of the plan.

from the epiode "A Room with a Moose"; one of my all-time faves!
ZIM: And now Dib, I leave you to your...
GIR: (offscreen) Moosey fate! Say Moosey fate!!
ZIM: ...your moosey fate.
GIR: TEE HEE HEE HEE HEE!!!

Why is that funny? I don't know! But it is!!! However, as I watched these episodes, I could kinda see why Nickelodeon pulled the series: it really got awfully gross! Still, I love it so!

from the episode "Bad, Bad Rubber Piggy
GIR: YAAAAAAAAAAAY! We're doomed!

Cheers!
