Twitter Response from Aras!

Today I got a response on Twitter from Aras Baskauskas! I was so excited! I love him!

Who is Aras? In 2006, he was the winner of Survivor Season 12: Panama-Exile Island.

A little bit about Aras:

He is of Lithuanian decent and has both Lithuanian and American citizenship. His grandfather is Macdonald Carey, who was an actor on Days of our Lives. Aras actually appeared once on the show in 1988 as one of the children listening to Tom Horton (played by Carey) reading The Christmas story.

Since Survivor, he has been focusing on his music career. He performs under the stage name "Odd Us" (which is similar to how his first name is actually pronounced). He released his first album "The Tree and the River" in 2011.

Music Ironicness: Kellie Pickler - I Wonder

Today the cast for the next season of Dancing with the Stars was announced just today. Kellie Pickler was announced as one of the celebrities competing. After the announcement, one of Kellie's 2 songs that I have in my library played. I can't tell you the last time I listened to one of her songs...it's been a long time! So ironic, that one would randomly play today of all days. Remember, I have over 7,000 songs in my collection!

Seinfeld Reference #54

This one was short, but sweet. I sneezed...Shelley said "You're sooo good lookin'." This is the phrase that Jerry said people should say instead of "God bless you."

Seinfeld Reference #53

Feb. 25, 2013: Seinfeld Reference #53

The timing of this one's kind of ironic...I was on Twitter this morning, and Ian Terry (from Big Brother) posted this:

"Pretty neat discussion at breakfast -- "Seinfeld" and "Home Improvement" = best 1990s' sitcoms. Were other shows at the time even trying?"

I thought this was pretty funny, so I commented: "And both are still pretty relevant today. My "Seinfeld-loving" friends and I have at LEAST 1 Seinfeld reference a day!"

Literally, like 10 minutes later, Diane and I had the following reference: We were trying to talk around a pole, and each of us kept leaning the wrong way and we kept missing each other. This reminded me of when the Seinfeld group were forced to sit at the counter in the coffee shop because the booth was taken. None of them could see who was talking and Jerry and Kramer kept leaning around George and kept going the wrong way.

Big Celebrity Day On Twitter!

What an exciting day for me on Twitter! Dan Gheesling and William Holman! So, who are these guys, you might wonder. Well...

Dan was on one of my favorite reality shows ever, Big Brother. He won Season 10 in 2008. He then competed on Season 14, when he came back as one of the coaches for a new group of houseguests. Dan is smart, funny, strategic...you name it. He almost won Season 14, which should have been an almost impossible task as a returnee AND a previous winner. He ended up coming in 2nd to his protoge Ian.

Today on Twitter, he made reference to Office Space and I just had to comment. Imagine my surprise when he replied to my comment! Here is the conversation:

The other exciting thing for today was from William Holman. He was a bachelor on The Bachelorette for Emily's season. I fell in love with him from the start. He's from Ohio, which is cool. He's also frickin' hilarious! He was the funny goofball on the show, and he's still so funny. His tweets make me laugh every day...which is what I commented to him today. His tweet was:

"If life hands you lemons, you probably did something wrong."

I thought it was funny, so I commented a compliment to him, and he favorited it!

I also gained a new follower...someone I've never heard of...so I decided to check him out. His name is AJ Edwards. Hes a singer/songwriter. I checked out some of his music, and wow...really liked it!

Seinfeld Reference #51 & 52

This one is related to Reference #50 yesterday (the butter shave). Diane was telling Shelley about the peanut butter shave and we were talking about how it would probably be too thick to use to shave with. Someone said that it's so sticky the hair might stick to it and be pulled out. I said, yeah, like a wax. And "like a bandaid...right off!". A quote from Jerry to George about breaking up quickly.

Watch the clip here (sorry, this was the only clip of this quote that I could find)

Feb. 22, 2013: Seinfeld Reference #51

Today a salesman came into the office and Amy took his business card. After he left, she made an outburst and said "Smell his card!" His card smelled like it had been dipped in cologne. This provoked quite an odd conversation about colognes, and it made me think of when Kramer wanted to make a cologne that smelled like the ocean.

And this episode just happened to have been on the last night...weird!

Seinfeld References #49 & 50

Yesterday, my friend Diane was sick. To make her feel better, I wanted to post a Seinfeld video for her when I got home from work, but I forgot! I was going to post the "Get Well" song that Elaine's work used.

Diane found an article that talked about using peanut butter to shave with. This reminded us of Kramer's "butter shave."

Survivor Erik Reichenbach Retweeted Me!

So, today, I saw this picture online and I just had to laugh. Poor Erik...it looked like he had antlers! It was so good, I decided to tweet it to him. A few hours later, he retweeted it!

Side note, I love this picture of the Favorites. Why is Phillip the only one not looking in the same direction as everyone else?

Music Ironicness: The Rasmus - Funeral Song

So, had another strange musical occurrence today. At lunch a co-worker was talking about a couple of separate calling hours that they had to attend in the next couple nights. When I got back from lunch, one of the songs I heard was: The Rasmus song "Funeral Song". Ironic, no?

Twitter Convo With Shawn Hantz!

Tonight during Survivor I got a response from one of the Hantz brothers! If you've read my earlier posts, you saw that Shawn Hantz is following me...tonight I commented on a Tweet and he replied!
