Desperate Housewives has been the talk of my apartment for the last week. There has been much speculation over who is going to die. Each news report about Sunday night's episode seems to be predicting a different outcome. Some sources say that one character that has been there since season 1, and two smaller characters. Since a lot of the sources say "actor" many people say it won't be an actual housewife, which I agree with since they already killed off Edie last season. My roommate seems to think Carlos will be the main character to die, and maybe Lynette's twins for the other two. I, however, have different opinions, and they are as follows:

Radaronline – There are 30 nude photos and eight sex tapes of former Miss California Carrie Prejean, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively. It’s the most shocking turn yet in a scandal that has continued to follow the woman whose anti-gay marriage stance led to a national controversy and pitted her against pageant organizers. Now a RadarOnline.com investigation has uncovered that there are SEVEN more “biggest mistakes” of her life – all of them solo performances, just like the one sex tape that the religious beauty queen has admitted to. And there are 30 photos of Carrie, most topless, some showing everything, and most taken by Carrie using her reflection in a mirror. In her newly released book Carrie wrote, “God gave us our bodies, and it’s perfectly right that we use them in ways where we can give glory to God by making our bodies, our temples of the Holy Spirit, strong and fast.”

1000 awesome things

I found this website today that is definitely blog-worthy. If you ever find yourself in a bad mood, I'd suggest going to this website and looking around. It's called 1000awesomethings.com and it's just a huge list of often over-looked awesome things in every day life. For example, #995 is "finding money you didn't even know you lost." This just happens to be one of my favorite things of all time. When I try on a pair of jeans I haven't worn in a while and I find-even a dollar- remember, I'm in college, I'm thrilled. $20s are the best. Actually, I found a $100 in my snowboarding jacket last year, talk about the best day. But yeah, this site is awesome and I recommend giving it a look-over.

I'm seriously loving the Real World/Road Rules Ruins this season. As always there is already tons of drama surrounding every situation. This week Tonya got kicked off for hitting Veronica (obviously my favorite) in the face, which of course is against the rules and gets you kicked out of the house. Every person on the show has different character traits/flaws whatever you want to call them.
Veronica: has the best name ever, always speaks her mind and is a huge bitch. very pretty, causes drama at times, but is a strong competitor. obviously my favoriteee
Tonya: always drunk, always yelling, always whining, always fighting. thank god she went home this week. good riddance.
Johanna: stuck in the middle between Wes and Kenny's fighting, but she did it to herself. does well with dodging the issue, hasnt been in the limelight too much.
Casey: easily the worst competitor, the champions are just keeping her in the game because shes weak for the other team and puts them at an advantage. she definitely lost the challenge for her team this week.
Wes: the bad guy. everyone loves to hate him. he likes to try to manipulate people. people aren't really falling for it. wes dated johanna for 3 years and was engaged to him, and then she dated kenny, and now they are all together on the Ruins so it makes for interesting tv, obviousy
Derrick: I've always loved Derrick even when he was an asshole in the previous challenges. He is a tough competitor and is kind of in the background so far this season. I'm interested to see what happens with his usual hard-headed self.
Brad: easily my favorite guy. he is the cutest and is also a tough competitor for the challengers side (even though theyve lost every challenge so far).
Evan: he has turned a 360. he's sketchy and i'm calling it right now... he was all lovey dovey with my girl Veronica at first and now he is bitching at her and talking about her behind her back to everyone else when tonya is the one that instigated the fight? doesn't make sense, not at all.
Cohutta: one of my favorite. so laid back, so easy going. wicked cute accent, nice to everyone ect.
these are the only characters I really care about. everyone else is wicked boring so far this season. we'll see what happensss

Falcon

Ok did ANYONE see the news today? Unbelievable... or it was until I found out the outcome of the story.
(CNN) -- The 6-year-old Colorado boy who is believed to have set adrift a helium balloon Thursday, prompting ground and air searches, has been found alive, authorities said.
The balloon landed near Keenesburg, Colorado, about 60 miles from its Fort Collins departure point. Falcon Heene was found in a box in the attic of his family's Fort Collins home, according to authorities. People across the world watched Thursday as the homemade helium balloon soared 7,000 feet over eastern Colorado for more than an hour and a half. A sibling said he saw the Falcon get into the craft Thursday morning, authorities said.
But the boy was not inside the craft when it made a soft landing near Keenesburg, about 60 miles from its starting point, at 1:35 p.m. (3:35 p.m. ET). Shortly after the landing, authorities launched a ground search and suggested that Falcon never took off in the balloon. "I'm very confident we will find him. I think it's a matter of him being a little scared," Larimer County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Eloise Campanella said. "Maybe he's not ready to be found."
Falcon's parents, science enthusiasts Richard and Mayumi Heene, were featured on the 100th episode of ABC's prime-time program "Wife Swap" in March, ABC said. According to the network's Web site, the Heene family devote its time "to scientific experiments that include looking for extraterrestrials and building a research-gathering flying saucer to send into the eye of the storm." Richard Heene is a meteorologist and former television weatherman who has submitted to CNN iReports accounts of his sons helping him chase Hurricane Gustav, among other contributions.
The dome-shaped balloon, about 20 feet long and 5 feet high, appeared to be a Mylar-coated helium balloon, similar to a party balloon. It had been tethered to the family home, the Larimer County Sheriff's Department said. The boy got into the craft Thursday morning and undid the rope anchoring it.
Before the balloon touched the ground, fears that the boy could be riding in the soaring vessel prompted the Colorado Air National Guard to launch a rescue mission Thursday afternoon to see if the agency could use a helicopter to steer the aircraft to safety, a spokesman said. Officials could not immediately confirm how fast the balloon was going while airborne.
Marc Friedland, the family's next-door neighbor, said he saw Richard Heene working on the giant Mylar balloon in the backyard. "Basically, the whole family was out there and they were working with it," he said. "When I came back is when I found out that the event happened." He said the aircraft was intended to hover around 20 feet in the air and was not intended to carry people. "Obviously, something went wrong with that."
Friedland described his neighbors as "a great family. They're unusual, yes, of course. He's sort of a scientist-slash-inventor. They're storm chasers -- they go after tornadoes, hurricanes, things like that," he said. "He's a great kid," Friedland said of Falcon. "We see him a lot and they come over and they're always friendly."
What a little sneak! As I was watching the footage on the news my roommates and I were freaking out. Everyone thought he was in the balloon but he wasn't! I can't imagine being one of his parents and going through that entire ordeal. His parents, however, strike me as a bit odd. "The Heene family devote it's time 'to scientific experiments that include looking for extraterrestrials and building a research-gathering flying saucer to send into the eye of the storm.'" Hm..... what to say about this. I guess the fact that this doesn't really surprise me that this is the family that this happened to. Did his parents ever tell him "Don't play near the big balloon in the backyard." What kid of kid doesn't want to play with a huge balloon? Also, what kind of parent names their kid Falcon?
If that was my kid I honestly don't know what I would do. How would you punish him?
