Top 5 Thursdays - Winner Winner! And a Case of the Sads...

Don't let this post title fool you - I am NOT super duper sad, because (drumroll please)...we have a WINNER!  And the winner of the European Adventures giveaway is:

CHRISTY from "25 Before 25"

Congrats, Christy!  Please send me your contact information at perfectcompilationtape at gmail dot com. And if you don't know Christy, you should definitely check out her amazing blog!  From her running to her upcoming New York adventures, Christy is a fun-loving, sweet lady and you should all pay her a visit right now!


(A message from TPCT Legal Team:  I used the Random Number Generator online.  I tried to take a pic with my phone, but it looked awful.)


Seriously, y'all.  Thank you SO much for your love and support!  Your comments truly made me smile - I am blessed to blog along side of you!


Ok, so the sads.  Why, you ask?  It's not like a "throw myself on the bed and cry" kind of sad.  It's more like "I have too much time in the summer to think about things and I let TV and internet rule my life and I get emotionally involved in characters and think I am stranded on an island with them" sads.


***Update:  I am actually kind of sad for my hubby, whose iPhone met an untimely death by water.  RIP iPhone.  Who will my hubby talk to when I am annoying the bejeezus out of him???


5.) Bill Compton's change of "heart" on True Blood.

So yeah.  I was always Team Bill (sorry, Team Eric fans) - he's southern, charming and knows how to respect a woman (well, after he got over the whole biting their necks thing).  But MAN!  This new season has thrown me for a loop, and while many of you are probably all like "Sookie is totally going to hook up with Eric", I STILL think beneath that dead body of his, he's a decent vampire with a "heart" of gold.


4.) Mel Gibson.

I don't know what to say here.  It's not like I'm a huge Mel Gibson fan (minus "The Patriot", I really can't stand his movies).  But his use of language and treatment of women doesn't do much to restore my faith in an industry that already brings us so much disappointment.  Besides, the ranting and raving on voicemails is SO last season.  


3.) Lost.  Because I don't get it but cannot stop.

Seriously.  Do you know how many "I'm stranded on a deserted island with Matthew Fox" dreams I've had?  Like, SEVERAL (apologies to my hubby).  I don't know WHAT is happening.  We're on season 3 and I have lots of questions about Ben and Juliet (Does Jack hook up with her???) and the Dharma Initiative and Desmond and where Locke is and I just don't know what to think anymore.  And now with the recent Emmy nominations and everyone RAVING about Matthew Fox's performance in the final episode, I cannot help wondering if he dies (DO NOT TELL ME).  Let's just say that if he does, this case of the sads will return full force.


2.) Being stalked by Kelly Bensimon on Twitter.

via

Yes, you read that correctly.  Crazy Kelly from Scary Island follows me on Twitter.  I have tried my hardest to reach out to celebs and respond to their tweets - from Bethenny to Ramona to Kathy Griffin to Tori Spelling - I am constantly whoring myself out for a celeb response.  And I've got nothing.  Except Kelly.  Perhaps she caught on to my tweets about rainbows and sparkles.  File this one under "Epic Fail".


***UPDATE:  She no longer follows!  I was going to take a picture of it, so I checked.  People, I SWEAR at one point she was.  Now she is back down to following 251 people.  YEAH!  HAPPY CLOWN!


1.)  Web MD.


Have you tried this amazing website?  You can enter all of your symptoms and BAM!  The Internet can tell you what's wrong without a doctor's visit or bills.  So yesterday, I had a few dizzy spells.  And I cannot sleep. Disregarding the fact that I have been drinking espresso five times a day because I LURVE my new machine, I entered "lack of sleep" and "dizziness" into WebMD.  The prognosis?  Either an earache that is common in babies or aspirin poisoning.  I immediately reported this to my husband.  He explained that perhaps its the fact that I drink a lot of coffee.  What does HE know?

How are YOU??? Are you as emotionally involved with the television and internet?
