Three things...

... that made the news closer to the top of the hour than anything having to do with anything important going on in the world:

-the judge crying at the hearing to determine the paternity of Anna Nicole's baby (which is now contested by no less than three men)

-Britney (by the way, did we mention she shaved her head?) back in rehab... again (3rd time this week...)

-rain.

Yes, RAIN. Actually, verbatim, "cold drizzle," made the news tonight above any headlines about wars, politics, education, or nuclear armament. They had cameras on the streets of downtown LA interviewing people with umbrellas and a guy in a t-shirt (it's still February, remember?) who was shocked he may have needed a jacket today.

OK, enough of that. You all know how I love television news.

The other Anna Nicole Show

Was it just a really slow news day yesterday? Is that why all the stations spent a full fifteen minutes at the top of the news hour talking about the death of Anna Nicole Smith, as if she was an ex-president? Or was that just here in LA?

procrastination elation


Julie does not want to write a six page paper about her family dynamics going back three generations tonight. Julie has better things to do with her time, including:
  • search for jobs that she cannot apply for until late 2007
  • make lists of things to do to stave off depression when school ends and she has to start making decisions about her own life again
  • discern which of the things going through her head she should bring up with The Boy, preferably in the middle of the night while he is trying to fall asleep, and which things to just keep in her pretty little head
  • get a jump on planning that next trip to South America (after discovering, in above-mentioned job search, a number of $5000 sign-on bonuses for Spanish-speaking therapists)
  • blog about procrastinating
  • figure out why Jack Bauer has no trouble placing cell phone calls in the aftermath of a nuclear bomb blast in LA
Off to watch 24...

Mean girlfriend

I'm a mean girlfriend. I made Goat go on a rollercoaster with me at Universal Studios. He is not a fan. But I got a good picture!
