Gotta love politics!

Did you all watch the first presidential debate tonight? I watched my tivo'd copy when I got home from the Weber State volleyball game tonight (Go cats! We beat Idaho State in 4). I thought this was a pretty good debate, but my vote will most definitely be for Obama. Now, I know most of my very conservative friends will have the exact opposite view from myself and that's okay.

I seriously can't stand John McCain. Doesn't he bug anyone else? I don't like listening to him speak and I really don't like watching his interactions with others. I was cringing throughout most of the debate. I know I tend to be a bit liberal, especially for a Mormon. I respect his service record, but I don't want him running our country. I may very well have voted for a republican if their nominee had been someone else, but not him. (Not that it really matters much who I vote for since I live in Utah.)

Oh, and can we discuss 5th from the bottom of their class at the Naval Academy VS. President of the Harvard Law Review? I love how McCain said several times during the debate that Obama didn't understand or didn't get it. Really? Really?

So, I don't like McCain. I'm sure this is a huge surprise for you all :)

I thought I would include this video of Matt Damon hating on Sarah Palin. I think it's funny. Disclaimers: #1 - I don't think that celebrities are smarter than anyone else, but they are entitled to their opinion and have the ability to share with a wider audience than we do. We share our opinions when allowed, even publicly via blogs and such so I think it's perfectly okay for them to do the same. #2 - I don't dislike Sarah Palin, but I certainly can't imagine her as the President.


And lets add this for good measure:

Update...

So, I'm moving. Yippee! Who would ever think I would hate living here:


I've lived at the Gateway for a year, and believe me, it gets old fast. The best thing about living here is that my commute is a 3 minute walk. There is exactly 1 store I can buy clothing at. There are a few for shoes, but if you know me, you know that's the last thing I need to spend money on.

Anyways, I'm moving to a house just on the other side of the highway. This will be much cheaper and lots more fun. Now I will have a 3 minute driving commute. Not bad.

I'm also excited about my teeth news. My next appointment is in a couple of weeks. If my xrays look good at this appt, I get to start the finishing phase of my braces. This means after this next appt, I may have only 2 to 6 months left! Yippee!

Hi, my name is Bonnie and I'm a TV junkie .....

So, like the rest of the country, and maybe world, I've been watching ridiculous amounts of the Olympics during the last 2 weeks. Sad/glad it's over... (but I could watch Michael Phelps and the other swimmers 24/7)

I'm super addicted to Jon & Kate Plus 8. If you don't watch it you need to.

I love junk MTV/VH1/E!/Style/Oxygen shows. If it's about a celebrity or someone dating a celebrity or minor celebrities competing with eachother for something, I'm all over it.

Right now, I'm watching Big Brother. I only started this one 2 years ago, but it's addicting. And right now, when there's nothing new on, it's nice to have something on 3 nights a week.

I can't wait for the new Fall season. I must watch: Grey's Anatomy, the Office, Private Practice, ER, Gossip Girl, America's Next Top Model. I like to watch Law & Order, but can't commit to 3 nights a week. The only show I'm planning on adding is the new 90210; hopefully it's good...

Wow. I'm a loser! :)

Friends pics

I've been meaning to post the pics for awhile. Sorry Girls!

Birds update ...

The birds have proved to be very irresponsible parents. They have abandoned their undeveloped charges and I am left to clean up the mess. Do I push the eggs and nest over the edge or dispose of them down the garbage shoot? Hmmm...

Fire Videos

Fire in downtown SLC!!!

The building across the street from my apt at the Gateway is on fire right now! It's been 1 1/2 hours and it's going strong! Yikes! The following pics are in chronological order:

It was REALLY warm on our balcony at first!

This is the most exciting thing that's happened around here for awhile!




We thought it was done, but it came back....

The smoke started to drift in this direction, but the fire is strong

It's almost over!

The fire finally died down around 4 am!
