Lazy Sunday, Naked People, and Coffee

Currently watching 'Naked and Afraid,' and eating a delicious bowl of quinoa/split pea soup/mushrooms/black beans/corn with my boo and my doggie. Has anyone watched this show? It's ridiculous and fascinating and totally fun to watch. Basically, one guy and one girl (both survival experts who have never met) are thrown into some jungle/island/uninhabited place with no food, no water, and duh...duh...duh...NO CLOTHES. That's right, they're buck naked. Which isn't as exciting as it sounds since they blur out everything but the bums, but still, it's entertaining. Anyway, this guy and girl have to survive 21 days by themselves. It actually seems pretty legit. There are camera men but they don't do anything, and at night it's just the two survivalists. If they make it all 21 days they don't get anything, but they've proven that 'they have what it takes to survive NAKED AND AFRAID.' I dunno, that's not enough incentive for me to go risk snakes and sharks and poison frogs and torrential rains and some creepy naked dude. 

But it's great watching these people interact. There seems to be a pattern though--the guy always thinks he can do everything, belittles the woman, then proceeds to drink bad water (which the female warns him not to) or injure himself, and the woman ends up being the one who knows how to do (and does) everything. I'm not trying to be all feminist-y over here (though I do consider myself a feminist), but it's definitely an interesting study in gender. And who doesn't want to watch naked people poop in nature and try to catch eels with their bare hands?

Tonight's actually the season finale, but I bet you can watch it on the Discovery Channel.

Oh! So yesterday I posted a bunch of inspirational quotes, and I came across another one today on Pinterest that I really like:

"Your flaws are perfect for the heart that is meant to love you." -unknown

Isn't that awesome? And I really, truly believe it. No one is perfect, it's just a matter of finding someone who's imperfections fit with yours. I'll be the first to admit that I have a lot (A LOT) of flaws, and I feel lucky to be with someone who loves me in spite of--and even because of--them.

Also, on a totally random but awesome note, Margaret Cho followed me on Twitter today. Day officially made. That woman is my idol.

Hope everyone had a good Sunday! Mine was lazy and full of delicious coffee and bad TV (just the way I like it). Start your Monday off right tomorrow--AKA with caffeine and a smile (cheesy, I know, but so true).

XOXO!
