rkt ok... so the theme of montel seems to have been 'extraordinary people (+dog)'
it started out with this 11-year-old autistic kid who's a piano genius (played at the blue note and slated to play kennedy center). he's done some of his own compositions. but he's KID. and he's AUTISTIC. and i'm swearing at his mom at this point.
(note-there was supposed to be another kid on the show. a dwarf. .... dwarf=normal body+head, disproporti
onate arms and legs... NOT synonomous with midget, who is someone below 4-11.... but the kid never made it on the show. i don't know if that was because of the damn dog. or not.)
they also had on that guy who jumped off niagra falls. he admitted it was suicidal. but he's happy to be alive now, after going through that. he's also happy to be alive now. and working (for the cirucs). he's getting paid to have people take their picture with him. (though, canada's pissed with him and wants to haul his ass off to prison.) he just wants people to know they shouldn't go out and try to kill themselves. being alive is so much fun.
they also had this grandmother-type on the show. some guy broke into her house, and cut his hand up in the process. she wrapped his hand up for him. gave hiim 8oz of rum (with a dash of coke). let him use the shower while she washed his clothes (which had a wad of cash in it, so, as she told us, she ended up laundering money). etc. etc. etc. and eventually he was caught.
and there was the world's largest dog. some sort of mastiff. over 200 pounds. around 6 feet at full 2-legged height. amazing.
and then there was the snowboarder chick. she was pretty okay. but by that point i was in a whatever mood. and found her to be the best of the guests. not that it took much.
however, now that my friend is saying she will visit me the first week of december, and we've bonded so much over that damnable show, i may end up going back. this time, praying for the 'who my baby daddy?' show.

and ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY invest! they are the best things in the world, beating sliced bread, well, hands down.
it's a girl's (and her vulva's) best friend.
my friends gave me mine as a gift. i sorely regret waiting so very long to get one because 1). i thought it too expensive and 2). i was paranoid of using it during a thuderstorm and suffering dire consequences.
both reasons are equallly ridiculous.
