amazing race all stars finale

so, tonight was the finale of the amazing race all stars. mike joined heather and i in watching it. let's refresh our memories of
who we picked

mike picked rob & amber, and candice & dustin
heather picked charla & mirna, and oswaldo and danny
i picked eric & danielle, and candice & dustin

the final three: charla & mirna, candice & dustin, eric & danielle, so we all had a chance to win. and i had two of the final three right, much better than the previous season.

(spoiler for you t-vo people)



and the winner is
eric & danielle. the funny thing is, i don't remember picking them, so i'm glad that i blogged about it. candice & danielle came in 2nd, charla & mirna (the team i despise) finished third.


booyakasha respect.

"who's the big winner? mikey's the big winner!"

well, actually, this time i am, although it's not all that big. you see, the junior college i work @ was having a visual arts contest open to students, faculty and staff. there were prizes for the top student work, and one for faculty/staff. the voting was open for a month, you could vote as many times as you wanted. frankly, i was a little nervous about submitting a piece for the show. i'd like to think i'm an artist, and to lose could damage my fragile ego. i was especially worried because abstract art isn't always understood or well received. but, i submitted two pieces anyway.

and the winner was...me! yeah me! hurray. here's the piece that won me a small cash prize: the one on the far right.
