My friend JSD told me that I was either full on of full off. This was concerning tattoos. I told them that if I ever got any, I'd get them pretty much everywhere, with a full on complete theme, something like Grendel teeth (from the comic Grendel by Matt Wagner) all over the body, at the gates of power, on the legs, arms and back. Now his tattoo isn't anything like this woman's. It's a full sleeve tattoo, covering most of his left arm, combining elements of Buddhism and traditional Thai tattooing. I have some pictures, but at his logical request, I am not going to post any. A shame though, because his tattoo is magnificent. Not too much in your face, very subtle and deep. A lot of shades of gray mixed in with a little bit of red, the four precepts of Buddhism shine in bright red across his forearm. A 3/4 face of Buddha adorns his shoulder.
I'm just finishing up Friday Night Live. I have to say that one of the most funny moments, was John's winge about Gaelan. Hilarious. John managed to win FNL and took Claire to the rewards room. It looks like Katie will be the one to go, though the Australian online betting site Centrebet is putting heavy odds on Jamie's departure.
The American Big Brother series will be an all-star version. However, contrary to Big Brother shows all over the world, in the American one, the public does not vote who stays in or out, the housemates decided this. This is a major problem with Big Brother USA because the housemates normally vote out the most entertaining housemates out first. This time though, the public will vote who goes into the house or who doesn't. This is all because of the success of Survivor, where the survivors vote other castaways out. CBS probably thinks that they have to use the same format as Survivor for their Big Brother series.
