Week Recap
I know I haven't been blogging much (sorry, Melissa!) but I'm back. I've been spending a lot of my free time watching Ballykiss Angel, which is that BBC series set in Ireland I mentioned a few posts ago. It's not as over the top as Monarch of the Glen, but it is very cute and quaint and I love it because it totally reminds me of my awesome vacation there. It's about a priest (which is funny, because I'm totally not religious and never thought I'd ever watch a show about a priest...except for something ridiculously funny like Father Ted - another Irish series) who moves into a little village called Ballykiss Angel (duh), and about all the wacky characters there. The show manages to sort of put in a will-they-won't-they romantic story line between the priest and the woman who runs the local pub, who is anti-organized religion and doesn't go to church. It's very subtle, but it's definitely there, and the show teases the relationship along here and there. Talk about the ultimate forbidden love - a priest!! I have already read in the reviews on Netflix that the show "jumps the shark" in the 3rd season, which is interesting because that's exactly when MOTG starts getting bad. What is it about these BBC series that really last only two seasons??? Of course, it's not stopping me from continuing with the show, just like it didn't stop me from continuing on with MOTG...
Oh - and I have some good news. Pig finished her second dose of anti-biotics last week, and we got the results of her urine culture back and she's okay! The UTI is gone!
Max and I have had some fun events to go to lately. Last Saturday, a bunch of us went to a charity event called "Vegas in LA." It was held at a huge hangar at the Santa Monica and basically you could sample food from about 30 local restaurants, and there was wine tasting from about 40 some wineries. After wining and dining, we played Vegas casino table games and traded in our play money for tickets for a raffle held at the end of the night. I had a great time - most of the food was very very good, and it was fun doing the wine tasting. Since I don't know much about wine, it was kind of cool to get the chance to taste a whole bunch and to get a better sense of how they were different. We all got dressed up for the event, so I got to wear this black cocktail dress that I've had forever but haven't had a chance to wear.
Afterwards we went to AD's house, where one of his roommates Rosie (short for Roosevelt) was having a birthday party. Rosie loves to wear pink, so the theme of the party was "pink." They had decorated the place with pink decorations, laid out pink food, and everyone had to wear pink. Really fun.
Last week was my turn to host Project Runway so everyone came over. We watched in dismay as Jeffrey was a TOTAL ASS to Angela's mom. Now, I'm no fan of Angela's but it's still so hard to watch someone be mean to someone else's mom. I want the following people kicked off in this order: Jeffrey, Vincent, Angela. Argh. This season is soooo annoying!
Anyway, that's what I've been up to!

I enjoyed the show when it was on. I just happened to tune in about the same time every week. Did not know the name of the show, so TY!. I recalled on one episode, the Priest brought in a Rock Band to sing in the church to raise attendance. Very funny. The romantic over tune of the priest and the inn keeper is quite interesting.
I've seen that episode! I think it occurs in season 2. Very charming and quaint show. I think it was on, and still occasionally on, PBS.
