I was wondering when the new season was going to start, so I went to the ABC website to look it up. When I got to the Alias page, it said:

Alias will return in January.

O what a dagger to my heart.

And for those girls in love with Michael Vartan, GAP is featuring him in their most recent ad campaign, and there are various 15 ft. posters of him in NYC GAPs. And no, I will not steal them for you.

Public Service Announcement to: Guys currently attending Cornell (Ithaca campus) and who like my sister:

No, she does not like you, and no, she will not go out with you because she is only in love with Soobin because she is gay. If you attempt to ask her out, I will drive up to Cornell and personally beat you up. Thank you.

And a random question: Is skydiving fun? I might go this Saturday in N. Jersey somewhere. I think it’s ~$180.

As reported by Newsday, or AP, Krispy Kreme is giving out doughnuts for every A students in Palm Beach County get on their report cards. Haha, that will be one fat county.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Krispy Kreme is offering to reward students with a doughnut for every A on their report card, but the plan seems a little flaky to some officials trying to fight childhood obesity.

Under one promotion, Krispy Kreme stores will give Palm Beach County students in kindergarten through sixth grade a free doughnut for good grades. Another program has students decorate posters of doughnuts with “success sprinkles” when children meet goals. The posters can be turned in for doughnuts.

“Krispy Kreme doughnuts are very good, especially when the ‘hot’ lights are on, but I can’t say that there’s anything healthy about them,” school board member Debra Robinson said Tuesday. “Can’t we find something else? I mean, a doughnut?”

Krispy Kreme doesn’t track how many schools are participating. Principals decide whether to allow the doughnut posters or any other business partnership, a school district spokeswoman said.

Jackie Zepeda, Krispy Kreme spokeswoman, said she was unaware of any concern about the doughnut giveaway in light of child obesity, which has been declared an epidemic by the National Institutes of Health.

The promotion comes as 50 schools in Palm Beach and Broward counties won a grant to begin a $1.4 million program to promote a healthier lifestyle with nutrition and exercise programs. The district is also offering healthier school lunch menus.

Over the weekend, I got an email from a fan, and since I rarely get fan email, I’ll answer this one here.

name = Girl who thinks you are cute!
question = Are you considering in having a girlfriend anytime soon? How is the typical girl you look for? Inside characteristics and outsider appeareance?

Hmm, sounds like something people ask me everyday, but I’ll publish my answer for the millions of viewers who don’t get an opportunity to talk to me personally. Ready for girlfriend? Maybe. How is the typical girl I look for? Outsider appearance - She’s pretty hot:

I’m not saying Diane Kruger is hot, but she was hot in Troy. Inside characteristics - a brain, heart, pair of lungs, stomach, liver, and two kidneys. If you only have one kidney, you might be in luck if you have a hot outsider appearance.

And two funnies from PJ today: “Amos didn’t want to be a prophet because prophets are non-profit.” The 4 C’s he wants his children to follow: Christian, Chinese, cultured, have cash. haha.

Wow:
-The beach is awesome. sand is so fine and soft, almost feels like flour. water is extremely clear.
-The sun is hot. after sitting in the sun for an hour, you’ll be brown. after two hours, burnt. the whole day - skin cancer.
-This place is QUIET. there were only 10-15 people on the beach in front of the hotel. As you walk up and down the beach strip, you’ll find that the beach is almost empty, except in front of the resort “Beaches,” which is the busiest area on the beach. The reason why it’s so quiet is because the government limits the size of the condos/hotels, so the place will never be overcrowded.

Only bad thing:
mosquitoes - they are relentless. after one sip of your blood, they go for another.

Overall, it was probably the most relaxing trip ever - just sitting on the beach and doing nothing. And random cool sighting - I saw Jimmy Johnson walking out of the bathroom at Miami International Airport (cuz we had a connecting flight back home).
