I (heart) Wednesday!

Well, I love Wednesdays. The BEST thing about Wednesdays is 'Last Comic Standing.' We're down to the last three--in about five minutes one will be eliminated. I LOVE Gerry Dee, and if he loses I might simply break down and cry. John just got saved, and, sadly, I have a sneaky suspicion Gerry might be heading back to C a n a d a: "O Canada! Our home and native land! True patriot love in all thy sons command. With glowing hearts we see thee rise,The True North strong and free!"

Even so, Gilbert Gottfried is a guest spot on the show tonight, and if he doesn't make you smile, well, nothing probably does. Don't know Gilbert Gottfried? Well, you might remember him from the movie "Problem Child," where he played the really annoying principal, or, you might know him from the ever so popular and unforgettable movie, "The Amazing Sea Monkeys"--A movie I've never actually heard of, but it's a fabulous transition into my next topic: Monkeys!

Tomorrow is a pretty exciting day. I am going to the Great Ape Trust with several other people from Simpson. So the day is actually more about apes, and less about monkeys, but whatever. Anyway, this place is in Des Moines and is an ape sanctuary and research facility for gorillas, bonobos, chimpanzees, and orangutans--and we get to go spend the morning there and check the place out. Simpson will likely have a lot of connections to the Great Ape Trust in the upcoming future, so this is a pretty exciting thing. I was there once last summer, and one of the bonobos had just died, thus they were in kind of a transitional period, so I suspect it will be a bit different this time. I'm SuPeR eXciTeD.

Well, folks, Gerry Dee just lost--and he cried. I feel badly for him, but, I managed to hold it together. I mean, come on, he missed the birth of his first born for this show (no joke) and now it's over. As is this blog.
