is it tacky that a television show is actually impacting my life?
still riding high on the giddiness of the chicago acceptance. given my research interests, it's probably the best school for me. but i am not entirely sold on the prospect of living in chicago for the next five plus years yet. i still have a pretty tepid memory of the city and it took me almost two whole years just to get to that level. well, i will just have to wait until i hear back from columbia before i make any life-changing decisions. i heard from austin a few days ago, got a very official and impersonal rejection note. still waiting on emory, but now i kind of don't care what they tell me.
i've spent most of this week's evenings sitting at home watching the second season of six feet under. it's been nice. that show is really really amazing. i feel like every episode helps me understand my emotions and social relationships that much better. one of the things i've realized while watching the show is that i expect too much from the people i love and end up resenting them for their inevitable human failures. for some reason i take their failures as friends/family/lovers etc. really personal and just feel betrayed. like if they really cared, they would have tried just that much harder. it's such a stupid attitude, it's how my parents have always interacted with me and i can't believe i've just been perpetuating that behavior all this time. but on the other hand, i'm not really sure how to go about fixing this...
oh, and these days, i'm also really into eating at deli's for lunch. the macy's in downtown has a really amazing selection. i just can't get enough of pasta salads and gourmet sandwiches! vampire weekend is a fun band but pretty uninspiring and i think everyone will forget them in a few months.
