It's basically Friday!

As I sit at my desk sleepily munching on banana bread, I realized that I haven’t blogged in a while.  In fact, I forgot that I was a “blogger” at all.  Oops.

Updates:

My fishy Stanford died last night L  He was my first and (so far) only pet.  He was a good little fish, but I knew it was his time.

 I discovered a GREAT new blog.  Most of you know of my interest-slash-borderline-obsession with perezhilton.com, and though PH is still #1, www.dlisted.com is a HILARIOUS celeb gossip site.  It’s extremely vulgar and inappropriate, but this guy has no shame and makes fun of some of my faves: Beyonce, Tom Cruise and Britney Spears (the usual celeb gossip blog fodder).  So that has provided me with lots of entertainment today.

 

I get tomorrow and Thursday off!  YAY! 

 

I talked my bf’s friends into going to downtown LA for New Years.  I cannot convey to you how HUGE this is.  This group doesn’t like going out normally.  I brought up the idea to Bret a few weeks ago, and he was like “Nah, I don’t think anyone will want to do that.”  Shot down in a huge way.  So then I brought it up to his (cooler) brother, and he was like “yeah that sounds like fun, I’ll ask around.”  Seed officially planted.  And low and behold, the other night I get a call from Bret saying “Hey, my brother suggested we go downtown for New Years, it sounds fun, huh?”  I had to roll my eyes and just bite my tongue.  Just goes to show the amount of power of persuasion I have over Bret, in comparison to his brother.

 

Do any of you watch Keith Olbermann on MSNBC?  Yes, my BF is a hard-core liberal, and coaxed me into watching a few episodes with him before the election.  Anyway, he has this feature on his show called “Special Comment” where he basically goes on a tirade for the last 10 minutes of the show.  Consider the following my own Special Comment:

 

I spent the last 8 days hanging out with my 9 year old cousin Grace.  She is TOTALLY into the High School Musical phase of her life.  Have any of you SEEN HSM?  I watched 1 and 2 with her… and wow.  This is the crap that Disney is feeding America’s youth nowadays?  Oh my gosh, I had to stop myself from yelling at the TV for Grace’s sake, numerous times.  Seriously, in HSM 2, the main character (played by Zach Efron, who ONLY wears teal colored shirts the whole movie to bring out his dreamy blue eyes I’m sure) yells to his dad that “my future isn’t as important to me as what my friends think of me!!” (paraphrased).  Basically, some college recruiters had been talking to him, and his friends were all jelly that he didn’t invite them along.  WTF?  Friends are important and all, but if you don’t look out for #1, no one will.  I made sure to talk to Grace about it after the movie was over.  But seriously “I care more about what my friends think” !!???!?  It’s a perfect segue into “My friends won’t think I’m cool if I don’t do drugs, and since that’s the MOST IMPORTANT THING, I’m gonna use!!”  Disney, what have you done?????

 

I also saw Camp Rock, which was also shiteous but its saving grace was Nick Jonas.  What a cutie.  J
