I decided to take tomorrow and Friday off work. It feels good to know that I have a long 4-day weekend ahead of me. Tomorrow we're going up to Mt. Hood to ski (Marc) and board (me). YAY YAY YAY! I can't believe that we haven't been once this season. And, to top it off, it's supposed to be warm--45 or 50 degrees--tomorrow, so it'll be interesting figuring out what to wear so we won't burn up.
Now let me take a moment to rant about how idiotic the "contestants" on the newest inane game show, The Moment of Truth, are. In case you've missed this gem of a show (please pick up on my sarcasm), the basic premise is that these people have gone through a lie detector test ahead of time and then they answer the questions during the show while gambling for money. They have to answer a series of questions at each level to win money. Each level is worth more. They can stop when they achieve a level but not in the middle of one. If at any point they are caught in a lie, they lose all the money they've amassed to that point. All of it. Gone. So here are these people who are well aware of the questions they had to answer, whether or not they lied, and how damaging the answers could be to their personal relationships--and they're ruining everything for a shot at some money. It's the ultimate in disgusting guilty pleasures. It boggles my mind that these people are so desperate to win money (or maybe they're sure they can beat the polygraph) that they'll answer questions like, "Since you've been married, have you have sexual relations with another person?" while their closest family and friends sit a few feet away watching. Sheesh.
