to fuel matts theory that i watch too much tv:
3 new shows on last night. the simple life(fox), celebrity poker (bravo) and line of fire (abc). and i watched all of them.
the simple life: awful. but ill watch it anyhow.
celebrity poker: watchable, but a little on the boring side. im looking forward to next week when the cast of the west wing plays. there should be some good chemistry there. if nothing more, hopefully ill learn a little something and make lots of money next time i play.
in the line of fire:probably the only decent show on abc. it was a promising first episode. unfortunately though, itll never be as good as hbo's the wire. not possible. but hopefully good enough to get me through until the next season of the wire starts.
on a totally different topic....cleaning sucks. i scrubbed the bathub yesterday, and frankly, i didnt like it. that goes for cleaning the toilet, the floor and the sinks too. and i know that its mostly my own filth that im cleaning (well, mine and chris') as opposed to say, some filthy strangers filthy filth. that really doesn't make me feel any better though. it just makes me feel, well....filthy. theres always a very long hot extra scrubby and soapy shower after a major cleaning undertaking. must... get.... clean.
ive been doing pretty well with my christmas preparations this year. id say im right about on schedule. ive got most of my cards out in the mail, about half the shopping done, a couple of crafty-like projects in the works, and we even have a little teeny red tinsel tree up and decorated. (not that we really needed any sort of tree at all because we wont actually be at our apartment on christmas. chris will be going home to jersey to spend it with his family, and ill be at my parents along with my sister and her boyfriend andy for christmas morning. but its a cute little decoration to celebrate the season.) .....uhhh....i dont really know where i was going with this....so ill just stop with it for now.......
im done

Thanksgiving. I wake up in the morning and am violently ill. I threw up 4 times in 3 hours. And I know what your thinking. Last night was the biggest bar night of the year and I drank too much and was hangover and that's why I was sick. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. I did go out last night to a couple of bars in prenatal, and did have a couple of drinks (2 and a half to be exact) and I also had a mini-Greek salad at comas to top off the night. I had a good time. But not that great of a time that I would be throwing up violently the next day. So I missed thanksgiving. And lemma tell you, that really sucks. And the worst part is is that I started feeling better right around the time that my parents left for dinner at my aunt and uncles, but I didnt want to chance it, relapsing there would have been a really ugly scene. So I sat at home all by myself. very depressing. I always look forward to the holidays and the big family gatherings. the only good part is that when my parents came home they had lots of leftovers and I was feeling good enough to eat them so I did. dessert and all. which is a total atkins no-no, but since I threw up so much in the morning I thought that id let myself be bad for the rest of the day. which worked out pretty well I suppose.
and I will NOT be going shopping tomorrow. people who go shopping the day after thanksgiving are CRAZY! I can understand, maybe, going to ONE store, for ONE item because its ridiculously on sale, like, say, getting an xbox for 50 bucks or something. But I cannot for the life of me fathom any other good reason for putting up with the madness. not one. especially when shopping on the internet is so easy, completely hassle free, and so many places offer free shipping. the money saved just can NOT be worth the hassle. plus, you can't actually browse when the stores are that packed. its just not possible. And leisurely browsing is what the fun of shopping is all about. well, for the women in this world anyhow.
2 days till the white stripes.

so matt thinks i shouldnt watch so much tv, and chris thinks im a nag. ok. got it. actually though, it may seem that i watch a lot of tv, but the thing is its optimized viewing. i never just channel surf. theres always something of an enjoyable nature ready and waiting for me on the tivo. plus, for every half hour show i only need 22 minutes, and every hour show, 44 because of the tivo having the skip ahead of the commercials function. some days i watch nothing, and others, ill sit down and watch alot. but even when im watching alot, im not really watching that much because im not watching the commercials. and i never have to arrange my schedule around my favorite show being on tv, and the tivo allows you to record 2 shows at the exact same time, so you dont have to choose between alias and malcom in the middle on sunday nights. or the real world and queer eye for the straight guy on tuesdays.
not that those are the best examples of quality programming, but you get the picture.
chris (my boyfriend) says in response to two posts ago "I guess what you should do if you're so alone is go and get a boyfriend. That would occupy your time with yelling at him, telling him he gives himself a bad haircut, that black shoes and a brown belt don't mix (despite the fact the only belt he owns is brown and if he doesn't wear it his pants will fall down.), that he needs to clean up all of the facial hair he shaved off and left in the sink, and for once in his damned life - he should pick a place to eat instead of just saying, "I don't know, what do you want?""
this is what i have to say about that:
maybe i do like to point out that the haircut that one pays for is always going to look better than the one one gives themselves.(there is a definite sentence and tense and object structure to this sentence, but you get the picture) and black shoes and a brown belt simply don't match. its a fact. and there these places called stores that sell things like, say, black belts, but that would require shopping, which i know is the worst thing in the whole wide world. chris would rather wrestle naked with a leper before hed step into an old navy if given the choice. the facial hair in the sink for half a day is ok, for half a month, gross.
clearly im right here and hes wrong. so its ok to nag just a little. dont you think?
