"Life is a free circus: all you have to do is pay attention." -Bill CopelandI wrote the entry for today last night, but before I get to it, a few things I feel like commenting on that are off-topic:
I found this quote on Breakup Girl's advice column:
"By now, though, you have realized that my life is nothing more than a soap opera- and not one of the easy-to-understand ones either. No, my life has to be one of the most complicated soap operas around." -BradCracked me up.
Linda called me today- a relative calling to talk to ME?- that's never happened before!- and she said something that bugged me- it was about how married women can cook whatever they want, but men have to get used to whatever women cook. Assuming that the woman will automatically do ALL the work. I said to Linda, "Well, the guy can do some of the cooking too," and she said something about how "well, my husband can make me a good cappuchino." Oh, gag me.
She then went on to ask me if Mom was teaching me how to cook (for a man when I get married, of course), I said no, we just fight whenever she tries to teach me anything. (Totally true)
TV-themed comments:
Aren't they always coming out with "the ultimate Madonna interview" somewhere? On ET they bugged her if she was having another kid or not (maybe), how her birthday went (I loved her remark on how it wasn't hard, "I just got older." I wish I could look like that at forty without the aid of surgery (if that's even possible, comparing her to normal forty-year-olds). Then more stuff about her new CD- I think I must be the only person in America who isn't just thrilled to death with it and her new Indian/Kabbalah/Goth thing/look. I'm sorry, but in "Ray of Light" she looks as if she's on uppers or something and it's annoying, like a kid who ate too many Pixy Stiks. "Frozen" is the song that I'm the closest to liking, but I just can't watch the whole Goth-sweeping-cape/ripping-off-"Foolish Games" video. Reminds me of a cross between that video and when the teenagers on "Goth Talk" on SNL do home movies.
And speaking of new images, what's with Oprah having to change her image/theme song/set every new season? Now it's "a new era of Oprah." Short of becoming a minster or ripping off Jerry Springer (joke, guys), how much more different from each Old Oprah can she get now?
I saw the tail end of a commercial today on that Indian gambling thing, and the part I saw was this line about how "we wouldn't have electricity if not for gaming." Hello, isn't that uh, kinda a sign for someone to notice that's a PROBLEM? It worries me that apparently (having never lived around a reservation I can't say for sure) that's the ONLY way they can get money is by running gambling ("gaming," my ass) operations.
One year later: She's still dead, guys. Salon said it, and I gotta agree. All these specials. I liked her, was bummed when she died, but I just can't work up any enthusiasm for watching even more specials. There's no real news anymore, we're just rehashing the rehash now. Lisa McRee (again from ET) was saying something like she thinks it'll all die down now because people are sick of it- even I am. And as for Attenborough's "No one was prepared for Diana's death, no one" (or whatever it was)- no shit, Sherlock!!! Of course nobody did, she was in perfect health and most of the world didn't know she had a drunk driver. DUH.
Okay, now to what I really intended to write for today: Boy Disease Relapse.
