westminster dog show is happening

the first half of the groups showed last night, here are the results:

in the hound group, 15-inch beagle miss p upset the crowd favorite and last year's best in show runner-up, nathan the bloodhound, who is famous for licking judges. #nathannation that being said, miss p is an adorable and hungry champion and if anyone has a problem with her they can take it up with ME.

meanwhile, a very privileged shih tzu won the toy group. her name is rocket, and she belongs to patty hearst, of the newspaper hearsts.

in the non-sporting group (shade), they gave the award to a thirsty standard poodle named FLAME!

and finally, the herding group, which includes not one, but two different kinds a corgis to pick from, was won by a dang sheepdog. his name is swagger and i think he must be cheating.

tonight, we get the remaining groups: sporting, working, and (god loves a) terrier, followed by BEST IN SHOW!!!!

"don't look at those other losers, look at ME."

if this joke doesn't make sense to you...

Too soon. RT @karenehowell: Ole Miss Loses Top Recruit To Tennessee pic.twitter.com/0y7K7uObRW

THE VOICE REPORT FINALE AND WINNER EDITION

i hope that you haven't tired of my voice reports. this is probably the first time i've watched a full season all the way to the end. and i worked late monday which means i watched all four hours of the last two episode in succession last night. so i am going to hit you with all my favorites in a row, and there's a bunch, so buckle up.

jicyww, the first of two finale episodes included each finalist doing a traditional performance of a song selected by the coach, one duet with the coach, and one original songwriter-written song picked by the coach (matt wrote his own).


boyfriends chris jamison and adam levine do robin thicke's maybe-best-song "lost without u".


here's what damien as an actual solo artist might look like, singing a max martin-penned original song "soldier". boring.


more falsetto in matt's duet with adam singing an adam levine song from some movie?


we were also treated to chris jamison doing some timberlake.

on to the second part of the finale, which was an amazing collection of guest performances, some including contestants. there was so much to see here.


if you've never seen hozier do "take me to church" live, you should check this out. talk about the VOICE.


watch bruno mars do that funk song in CURLERS!!!!


damien joined j-hud for one of her songs and omg she looks incredible!


and i absolutely loved this performance by jessie j with chris j.

you may have noticed that nowhere in this post was craig wayne boyd mentioned. despite my complete lack of interest in his brand of musicianship, he won the voice. so WHATEVER. #teamelyjuh

i did love his "bring back" performance with fellow contestants danica, taylor brashears, and sugar joans. worth a watch.

also, please do not miss gwen vamping in this little christmas diddy by the coaches.

see y'all next season!

nice one.

happy first day of wimbledon!!!

gloatin' time.

i know you're all on p's and n's awaiting the results of the first annual boys vs. girls tennis death match that happened last night. i'm happy to report that the city (me and starla) overcame a 3-1 deficit to finish 5-3 over white gilt (joel and deej) as the sun set. they bought us the obligatory huckleberry lemonades at the clubhouse after. all is right in the world.

as you can see in this photo, dave is trying to crush the hand that crushed him. i can barely feel it!

stay tuned, as there WILL be a rematch.

and while you're waiting for the sweet 16 to commence on thursday, feel free to check in on the tennessee basketvols, who are playing the middle tennessee state university blue raiders in the NIT, tonight at 7.00pm. ugh, have you ever been so embearassed?!!?

never forget : the olympics are coming.

FIVE-time Olympic champion Ian Thorpe has bombed out of the 200m freestyle, finishing 12th at the Australian Swimming Championships in Adelaide.

Thorpe, who only announced he was making a comeback 14 months ago, now needs to finish in the top six of the 100m freestyle if his Olympic dream is to be realised.

After a strong start, Thorpe faded in the last 100m, stopping the clock in 1:49.91s, slower than the 1:49.18 he swam this morning in the heat.

"I'm terribly disappointed with that, I had a really good heat swim and I thought I could swim a lot quicker," Thorpe said.

"The last 100 was a struggle, I'm not sure why.

"This was slower than what I swam this morning, probably the inexperience of racing in the last 18 months held me up.

"The fairytale has turned into a nightmare." (via)

inventing a new pastime at GPP

dave and i just came up with a way to make watching jeopardy after work way better: drinking jeopardy, oc. here are the rules:

everyone playing has a beer supply and a shot glass. fill up your shot glass with beer while you determine an order of play. the questions will rotate, with players taking turns answering. if the player answering does so correctly, the other players down their beer shot. if the player answers incorrectly, he or she takes the shot. 

for example, if dave, joel and i are playing, i'll go first (because i'm a lady). i will play along with the tv, and answer the first question. i will undoubtedly crush it, and dave and joel will drink.

now you're going to want to pause, so those losers can refill. now, it's joel's turn. he's really good at trivia, so he'll nail it, also, which means dave and i will drink. 

pause. refill. play. and so on.

on daily doubles: whomever's turn it is answers the same as always. however, this time, whoever has to drink has to finish their beer, regardless of how full or empty. this is left up to daily durble fate. 

for final jeopardy: everyone answers by writing down in secret. at the end of the jeopardy song, everyone reveals their answer. then the tv players reveal theirs, then alex tells us who was right. and if you are wrong....

...well, you just go on and chug a whole beer, idiot. GAME OVER.

we'll let you know how it goes tonight. if you decide to play along, send us pixies!!
