Foot to the chest/Boring Survivor

It's been a strange week. Among other things, the boy learned that an effective method for expressing his disapproval at having his diaper changed on his changing table is to kick me in the chest. For a little guy, he's developed very strong legs. He also attempts to grab the dirty diaper and fling it to the carpet. Fortunately, his arms aren't quite as fast.

Also, last night, "Survivor" quickly fell into a "Lost"-Season-2-style slump. There were two interesting moments relating to the 'segregation' theme.

First, on the Asian team, the two Korean-Americans bonded and, although they didn't come out and say it, this pointed to the fact that just because they're all Asian, it doesn't mean they're all going to be friends. Despite the fact that all white people inherently connect with each other over our whiteness, over stocks and bonds, etc., some Asian cultures actually have conflicts with each other. Whoa, newsflash.

The other mildly noteworthy moment was when one of the women on the Hispanic team broke out the Spanish. I was wondering about that. M-N speculated that they had 'all-English' rules. But I guess they figured that since they have to subtitle all the whispers, they might as well subtitle some Spanish.

Yeah, even these 'interesting' moments weren't that interesting. There was better racial commentary in the "Fresh Prince" episode we watched after "Survivor."
