- the internets is ruining project runway for me. effing spoilers are all over the place. i've already seen pictures from some of the fashion week runway shows, and just today, i quite accidentally read who the final guest judge is. boo, internets. boo! oh, and don't get me started on the human embodiment of the boogeyman, aka santino rice.
- i've been thinking a lot about middlesex today. there was a part of that book that talked about how our naming of emotions is insufficient in fully describing said emotion. that happy fails to fully explain the joy of seeing your firstborn child take its first steps while knowing you'll probably fail to even photograph this moment for your second child. well, the author's examples were better than mine, but maybe you can get the idea. anyhow, i've been feeling a lot of these sort of juxtaposed emotions lately. anxious contentment. angry fear. jealous sadness. and i would bore you with the longer more descriptive terms for my emotions, but... well... i don't want to.
- i have a job interview tomorrow which i am very very very very excited for. everyone keep their fingers crossed because after a day like today, i don't think i am capable of staying with my current employer... at least not without the aid of some horse, nay, elephant strength mood elevators. did you catch the pun?
- winter olympics = yawn. hell, ask michelle kwan.
- hot. hot. hot.
- can someone explain to me how i have not yet purchased the hollywood issue of vanity fair? anyone? i mean, seriously. ugh.
- last night's grey's anatomy almost killed me. while admittedly, last week's episode was more exciting and a little better made in my opinion, there was something so emotionally tugging about last night's ep, at least for me. last week's episode was all loud and andrenalin and charged and... masculine. this one was quiet, trepidatious, listful and, well, feminine. the stark shots of meredith's face. the rehash of george's shower fantasy with the 3 women. and most importantly, meredith's chat with derek at the end. something about that exchange has stuck with me even into today. "i don't remember the last time we kissed," she says to him, as they stand staring at each other in her foyer. "i don't remember the last time we kissed... the last time we were happy." i don't remember the last time we kissed, either.
- molly and i are in the long process of trying to find a place to live next year. it's tough stuff, but it looks like we have some good prospects. sounds like we might be pulling a jeffersons and move on up.
- how i haven't mentioned this before now, i do not know. during my trying break-up with the joseph, i came out to my mom. i needed her advice, so i just had to fill her in on the whole situation. she's fine with it... which just saying that makes her somehow sound like she's not fine with it, but really she is. it's almost uneasing how non-climactic an event it was. not at all what i was preparing for all these years... and that's good i guess. molly and i have decided that my father also knows because l-dawg isn't known for her secret-keeping.
- i seriously need to clean out my buddy list. after and accidental im to some guy i used to know ages ago, i've determined that i remember people long after they've forgotten me. sometimes, it's just time to let go.
- as much as i'm really not ready to start dating again, i think i need to start dating again. it seems unfair to anyone i'd be going out with, but i know i won't get over joe until i meet someone who makes me stop thinking about joe and start thinking about us.
- if all goes according to schedule, i will be in champaign this weekend celebrating the birth of my bestest male friend in the world. he's 5 months older than me, and his birthday reminds us each year that this will always be the case. age before beauty and all that shit.
- i am yet to receive a black history month t-shirt as detailed in a previous post. what's up with you people? what's the point of this blog if it doesn't get me some cool free shit from time to time? huh? huh?!?
crikey.
i'm out.
