Friday, January 31, 2003 - 11:20 p.m. forgive me for i am about to embark on a pointless rant about reality tv: is this the end of the situation comedy? tonight: back to back to back reality tv. he's ugly. she can't sing. he is a sleazeball. who will make it to episode 2? in the right hand corner, sporting a comfy terry cloth robe - we have the sitcom. in our left - wearing nothing but heels and a fake tan, always smiling, flexing and plotting, reality tv. there's a well of inspiration somewhere in the bowels of hollywood and blowing into the breezes down under, that reeks of skimpy clothing, loose morals and the opportunity to feel high and mighty while planting yourself into the couch like a sack of potatoes. well, far be me to deny it - i'm hooked. like that mcdonald's ad on bloor st that makes we want to scream "resistance is futile..." seeing who will survive to the next show makes for a tantalizing modern day soap opera. it's primped and staged and oh so devastating. whew. i am tired. my body is fed up with sitting at a desk and typing. i've run out of steam. back to life. back to reality. tv. e. Friday, January 31, 2003 - 10:43 p.m. sputter.. splutter.. plop. so yeah, like my hamster wheel is spinning out of control these days.. nights.. blending into weeks, months.. sleep. i've been so busy trying to maintain balance that i've fallen off the wagon. hehe... like one of those lumberjack log races - picture me, in overalls and a plaid flannel shirt recovering from the grunge era. costalanta is what i plan on dreaming about for the next 5 months. beautiful isn't it? nestled somewhere in thailand, on the island of krabi (yes, i get it) exits this magical looking place that nomi found in wallpaper magazine. unsane. crazy, we can probably only afford to stay one night but i think it's necessary. you only live once. have i mentioned how excited i am to travel and see the world? sleep in a beach-hut for five dollars a night? i am also hoping we can explore some hot springs in japan... i wonder if it will all be as i imagine it. i remember when i was young i used to dream about what my upcoming in summer camp would be like. especially if it was somewhere i'd never been. despite the brochure pictures, in my summer vacation locales became a very different place... twisted and yet dreamlike. my view of the future.. please continue to read adina's updates.. she is an amazing storyteller.. i miss you missy. ok time to disconnect. e.

Monday, January 20, 2003 - 09:18 a.m. it's not even 9:30 and i've already had a minor flipout from stress - it's going to be a great week. oh, did i mention i was in a nasty mood all weekend too? i hope this is pms. e.
Friday, January 17, 2003 - 05:34 p.m. hoooray for fridays.. this week has been grueling but positive. lots of things going on at the office. managed to stay home last night and chill out after my latin/jazz class. got some sleep and some downtime, i really needed it. was a bit stressed earlier but doing much better now. anyhow, enough rambling, c'est le weekend! lots to do wedding wise. argh. what i really want to be doing is some serious CD shopping! in honour of all the year end polls, here are the albums from 2002 albums that have yet to be crossed off my must-have list:
hmmm that's about it for now.. i am tired of thinking. maybe soon i will list some of the great albums from 2002 that i already have in my collection. have a lovely evening, stay warm! Saturday, January 4, 2003 - 11:48 a.m. wow. it's shocking. sadly it seems we still have a lot of work to do. ok. so i need to confess that last night's pre-movie mochaccino did me in. my brain can't handle coffee. it's like speed. i was up until 4:00 a.m. writing and thoughts were still churning away when i woke up this morning. the dude, is blissfully still in bed. i just can't sit still. it's funny b/c over the holidays my goal had been to chill out, drink some coffee and do some writing. if i give in to the lovely java i could easily pump out hundreds of pages in no time. it's amazingly powerful stuff. right.. time to go get shit done. i am so excited about all the snow! going skiing tomorrow. me and a bunch of snowboarders. i am so old school it's frighteningly uncool. e.
Saturday, January 4, 2003 - 02:34 a.m. i thought i was done but apparently there's more: been thinking about new year's and the art of making resolutions. it's strange for me b/c growing up - rosh hashana really shaped how my years begin and end. this was further reinforced by the start of the scholastic year. it's how i go back in time to pull out any memories pre-workforce. regardless, people keep asking if i made in so i decided to create my list. a little postdated, but nonethless, it's always stylish to show up late. think of the timing as arbitrary - i often come up with new goals during any period of downtime. alright enough of the tawk, here's my list: resolutions 27/03
Saturday, January 4, 2003 - 02:12 a.m. digging those second hand smoke ads, it's a shame i can't remember the website, and my googles didn't land me close enough. but i digress.. this campaign is successfully hitting me from all directions: the t.t.c ads that force you to stare at diseased lungs as you fight the crowds for a handle to hold onto; the billboard ads when i am stuck at a light; the muchmusic ads featuring teens who are turned off by the lack of options when forced out with smokers. i think they are brilliant but wonder if they influence smokers? none of the smokers i know seem to notice them, or is it that they want to ignore them? what do gnite.
Tuesday, December 31, 2002 - 11:48 a.m. seriously wondering if i want to continue these updates in the new year. my entries have been sporadic at best and for the most part, i no longer feel comfortable sharing anything too personal or revealing. i thought i would get a lot of writing done this holiday but instead i spent part of it nursing the dude through the flu and am now suffering from it's plight myself. it could be worse, last year i was only getting out of the hospital today. crazy.
to cure my boredom (i haven't left the house in four frickin' days) i watched a ton of movies. most of them so awful they inspire me, if those plotless wonders can score an a-list cast and manage to sell tickets, all i have to do is meet someone famous and convince them to play a role.
the other thing i realized is that 'almost famous' is making into my top ten list of favourite movies of all time. i love watching it. it's up there with the big lebowski in a combat des clips for the number one spot.
well that's about all the energy i have at the moment. happy new year y'all, wishing you a happy and a healthy,
xox,
