Best obvious reporting: “Jayasree was sad when Amelie lost last night.” :(
Best caption: “Dayum! I can’t believe I lost to Lindsay AGAIN.”
Best way to get over such a heartbreaking loss: Indian food. Mmmmm.

Funny, I had Indian food on Wednesday. It was amazing. Better curry than I had in India… oddly.

ROFL, that pic’s hilarious!!

Me, I think she’s singing… crooning, actually.
“You’ve lost that lovin’ feeling. Whoa, that lovin’ feeling.
You’ve lost that lovin’ feeling, and it’s gone, gone, gone….”

Either that or she’s saying “Merde! Don’t tell me I sat on the ice pack AGAIN!!”

Awww, we love our Ame. ;)
