Monday night
After dinner and a shower, I implemented my plan to de-stress.
I know. De-stress on a Monday? Well, only because I have MA classes Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 5:00pm-8:00pm.
Sure, I had a batch of quizzes to check but... I was able to do that while watching some local news (am not a big Pacquiao fan to begin with but 30 minutes of airtime - gawd!) and international news (apparently, OJ Simpson's accepted 3.5M for writing a book 'If I Did It,' where he will discuss how he would have killed Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman - as though he didn't do the deed, though. The book will also have its TV show version. Now, I've read trash biographies in my life - ala Kitty Kelley - and even trashier Jackie Collins novels but this is a SLEAZE. I watched the Goldman family react to it on Larry King.)
While checking, I turned on the Tyra Banks show - right, I know! But she did 20 questions on Janet Jackson who's celebrating 20 years in the biz. Of course, Tyra - who is really no Oprah - asked how Janet compares life as a twentysomething to a fortysomething. Apparently, 40 is the new 20. My poor generation - never really quite there, are we? No wonder we can be a bunch of schizoids. When we were teenagers, the '20's were perceived as the "it" time of your life... now it's 40? Lemme guess - when we're 40, they'll be saying 20 is it.
And capped off my early evening watching White Chicks. So hilarious! it's the only movie of its kind that I actually like - and my mom says that's cos the dudes were predominantly white.
