hi.

I'm getting really into Southland.  It's about a police unit in South LA, centered around this rookie cop's experiences (Ryan Atwood Ben Mackenzie, who is great in it).  It's pretty gritty and makes you realize how effed up the world is in some places. 

It snowed yesterday.  I won't even get into how I feel about that.

I have a friend going through a pretty painful breakup and there's nothing I can say to make her feel better or even feel like there isn't something wrong with her. There's nothing wrong with her. She's great.  People just break up. Sometimes, that feeling's just not there for someone. She doesn't see it that way. It's pummeled her self-esteem and I feel horrible that she feels so horrible. What do you say to someone like that? How do you help them?

It's people like this and this and this who make it really hard for me to like anyone who considers themselves a Republican. I know, that is completely judgmental, but really.  So irritating.

I've been helping Dan with the Sentence Correction portion of his GMAT prep.  Um, let's just say I am not as good with grammar as I thought and have zero desire to take the GMAT. 
We also watched about an hour worth of "Cute Kitten" videos on YouTube last night.  It's pretty safe to say that Dan is now fully aware I am a cat-person.


We went to the Britney Spears concert on Tuesday. 


It was ok.  I mean, I knew going into it that it would be scandalous, but seriously, I was borderline uncomfortable at times.  Maybe  it was because I was there with Dan and there were half-naked people dancing around. I don't know. It was a cool concept I guess, but I felt like Brit just walked back and forth and just grinded up on people.  She didn't really dance like I was expecting her to.  Remember back in the day when she used to just kill it? I wanted that.  Actually, the best part of the show was when her back-up dancers each did a solo dance performance.  That was way cool.


I've been taking yoga classes at the gym and I'm hooked. I feel so good after, like my body is completely relaxed and I'm hyper-aware of all my muscles.  Yoga always seemed so intimidating to me because I'm tall and lurpy and not all that flexible.  But, I sucked it up and went and now I love it. I'm still learning, but my favorite poses are pigeon pose and plank pose.



So what is up with this whole pirate thing? I thought we took care of our pirate problems, like, 300 years ago? Apparently not. I mean, are these pirates looking for gold coins and treasure and whatnot? Or do they just want to steals big ships? Do they think they can actually hop aboard a boat and steal it without anyone doing anything about it? They do realize we have things like Navy Seals around now, don't they? I just don't understand that logic, I guess.  Then again, I'm not a pirate, so...

I need to go tanning.

I can't get the Ryan Atwood persona out of my head. So I giggle every time I see the previews for the show. Even though RA was pretty tough for the OC, being from Chino and all.

People who break up? Why would you want to be with someone who doesn't want to be with you? Pointless. Sad, but pointless. But I don't have any good advice, except that if she's a great girl, then hey - his loss, and she move forward knowing that true love/happiness = both people being equally involved/dedicated/into each other.

My mom is sort of obsessed with Glenn Beck and it sort of makes me really quite angry. I had to tell her that he is not, in fact, the prophet. She believes EVERY WORD HE SAYS. Eek.

OMG, that picture of Britney looks so much like Suzanne..same smile and rocking bod. Suzanne, you and Britney are twins.

Yeah, I can't distinguish Ryan Atwood from Ben McKenzie either. I keep asking where Marissa is..oh yeah, she's dead.

Way to keep it real with Dan on the kitten thing. He needs to know what he is getting himself into.

I need to tan too. BAD.

That kitten video was precious. I wish they would stay small forever.
