Updates are useless at this point. My life doesn't vary from day to day. Which is slightly depressing, especially because my job is so lackluster and boring. Maybe I should turn this into a social commentary blog. That would be pretty depressing as well, unfortunately.
A very sad fact of the state of the world: The biggest long-running news story (as in it gets headlines on msnbc.com and cnn.com daily) is Madonna's adoption process. Because apparenly this is information that the general public urgently needs to know. Don't get me wrong, I love myself some good celebrity gossip (my admitted guity pleasure), but that's why I go to celebrity gossip websites. That's what E! is for people. Not CNN.
My FreeWillAstrology horoscope is fabulous. After being obsessed with Project Runway for the past year or so (Laura is wonderful), I have decided I need to update my wardrobe in a big way. I'm not a fashion whore, but my gap shirts (some even from high school!) are a little bland. I want to fab it up. Classic, because most trends are pretty lame and fleeting.
I bought a subscription to two new magazines, including one concerning
home decor. (which I regret). Magazines are my meth.
I am excited to start Christmas shopping, but not to start paying my ridiculously high insurance payments. Ugh. Being road-legal sucks.
PS VH1's Hip Hop Honors reminded me how much I love me some rap.
PPS... Yesterday, this black girl (her race isn't important, it just adds to the overtones of the situation) at work asked me if I was part hispanic. Exact words "I don't want to offend you, but you're hispanic right? I mean, you're mixed?" I wasnt offended, but it surprised me, because I don't understand how ANYONE could look at me and think... hm, she looks latina. It was really weird.
My reply: "No I'm as white as it gets."
her: "hm I wonder why I thought that."
me: "well, I was really tan when I first started working here."
What do you say in that situation?
