short update

my dad took me out for chinese food last night. it was disappointing only because how healthy it was. nothing was greasy and then we got lightly sauted chicken on veggies with spinach rice... it's pretty much the healthiest meal i've ever seen my dad eat. very strange. and then he was telling me about how he was watching justin timberlake's HBO special and how much he enjoyed the show and the music. i couldn't believe it. it was really very shocking but funny at the same time.

i've found myself reading along to meredith viera's blog on ivillage. i don't really know why though, i think she totally does not fit in on the today show, has very little chemistry with matt and al, and makes really awkward comments much too early in the morning. but i do really like to read about her life, and how she is able to cope with having a family, working on two shows, and how sad she is about her oldest son leaving for college. i think this means that i'm becoming an old sap. five years ago, i never would be reading such things. i know that i'm not reading it just because i have spare time like when i find myself reading every single gossip blog around, because one of those would suffice just fine, i really do read it because i like it.

abe got me the new ipod nano in light blue. i'm so excited, i can't wait to try it out. he's also loading Girls Next Door onto it for me so i can watch it on our trip to umass tomorrow. he's the best. there's very few things i would be ok with him spending silly money on right now, but apple products pretty much always get the Ok.

i have a new goal: read less celebrity trash.
reason: i think that i'll feel better about myself if i see less criticism on what people are wearing, eating, etc i shouldn't care. i seem to forget sometimes that their lives aren't real. also, the writing is crappy, so i shouldn't waste my time. filling my head with junk isn't what i should be doing anyhow.
