Can't break habits. The DNC annoys me.

Master the force I will. Yoda, I love you for teaching America that passive tense can be endearing. I watched Star Wars (A New Hope, if you choose to call it that) last night. Watching Empire Strikes Back tonight. I almost forgot how much I like these movies! I would like a light saber, thanksverymuch. 

Five rings.

The Olympics are amazing. Michael Phelps is so crazy. 8 Gold medals in one Olympic Games? I love it. Nastia Liukin, Shawn Johnson, and the U.S. Gymnastics teams (men and women) were great. Besides those two sports (that have gotten tons of coverage), I am highly attached to the results of men's and women's basketball, track and field (finally started!), all four sand volleyball teams, indoor volleyball, and softball.

Television Obsession

The Hills season 4 premiered last night. Admittedly, The Hills is a completely guilty pleasure, because, well because it is the most unreal reality show ever, and is pretty dumb.

Yet, I can't stay away.

Short notes on the Speidi plot line...I don't really care. Heidi is dumb for putting Spencer above work, and Spencer was so rude to her sister. Really, who cares about them?

Lauren goes on a date with Doug Reinhardt, who she knows from back home. He seems nice enough, and cute and all. Then Lo and Lauren throw a b-day party for Audrina, but it isn't really the nice gesture it seems. I mean, if you are throwing a party for someone, you probably shouldn't complain that you aren't having fun becuase you don't know her friends. Then go hide in your room. That is lame.

Lo and Audrina have a talk later, and basically Audrina tells Lo that they will never be friends. End of story. Duh. Even though Lo says she's making an effort, it really seems like she's half-assing it, which makes it worse. I think Lo ever so annoying and is being ridiculous.

Overall, Whitney is still the best person on the show, especially since she amkes the effort not to have too much of her personal life show up (even though we may be seeing a boy in coming eps?!?). Heidi and Spencer is a side story, that has little intersection with the other people on the show. I'm sure that'll change some this season. The Lo, Audrina, Lauren drama is kind of lame, and very high school. Like "I'm her best friend, not you, but I'll pretend to try to be your friend, but you don't like me." BLAH. The episode was kind of boring, but really, these people wouldn't have a show if they weren't pretty anyway. Let's accept it.

Alright, I'm out.

p.s. Got Gossip Girl Season 1 (and will be getting House, M.D. Season 4 later) today.

I love the Olympics.



GO USA!!!

District of Columbia

Had a fabulous time visiting Shanna in DC. Sightseeing. Laughing. Walking. The Metro. Desert, ha. I think the city is lovely. History is wonderful. Makes life feel very small in the scale of things.
