Jillian Approved: Humor, News and Nonsense

I am not a lesbian.

But let me share with you my girl-crush:

Her name is Gina Carano. While some of you might know her as “Crush” from the newly styled “American Gladiators”, I know her from her role as a mentor on the show “Fight Girls” (”Fight Girls” was a show that followed a select group of women as they trained and later fought for a Muy Thai Championship). Gina’s current Muy Thai record is 12-1-1 and her MMA record is currently 5-0 (a shout out to wikipedia. So not only is she insanely hot, she kicks ass to boot!

Seriously… she DOES set a standard (and WHAT a standard it is!).

Gina, you’re beautiful AND awesome. Right on!

NOTE TO SELF: …. must hit gym.

Looks like yesterday’s picks were all kinds of wrong! San Diego beat Indianapolis 28-24 and the Giants beat the Cowboys 21-17. WOW! I’ve heard that anything can happen in the post-season and so far that’s turning out to be no mere rumor. I didn’t think the Giants had a chance against the Cowboys. I know I’m not a Giants fan, but I do have a soft spot for E-Man, and you know what? Even though I didn’t pick him and his team for the win, I’ll offer my congratulations anyway: Congratulations! As unlikely as it seems (or does it?), I wouldn’t mind seeing E-Man and his team get to the SB and even win the damn thing.

Blah blah Chargers and Colts blah blah (this isn’t ESPN, dammit).

Next week are the CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES! Will the Giants triumph over the Packers? Highly unlikely, but props for making it this far. Does San Diego have a chance against the Pats? Me thinks not. I pretty much see the Pats as an indestructible machine rolling over the opposition; although Jacksonville DID manage to get them on edge for a bit. Who knows? If the Chargers can score first and get in their head, the game might indeed be interesting.

Just to let you guys know: Time Warner arrived on Saturday when they said they would and took a look at our internet. Apparently, (as was explained to me) our modem was receiving TOO MUCH signal (don’t ask me) which caused it to act extremely gay. It turns out that everyone in our apartment uses the same cable line. This cable line has a sort of hierarchy: those at the top get faster better service (the shit you’re paying for) and those at the bottom get spotty crappy service (the shit you’re paying for, but shouldn’t be). So here is TW’s solution:

Every time someone in our building calls to complain about their service (whether it be cable or internet), a technician comes out and moves said customer from the bottom of the multimedia “food” chain to the top. Problem solved… except now some other poor bastard that was enjoying a high-speed working connection gets bumped down and screwed. *Sigh* And so it goes… Right now we are at the top; the service is faster than ever and I’m happily zooming through cyberspace unhindered. I just wonder how long it will last this time.

THING OF THE DAY:

From Bridget Jones’s Diary:

Interviewer: What do you think about the El Nino phenomenon?
Bridget: It’s a blip. Latin music’s on its way out.
