Things I'm Totally Into Right Now

Things I'm Totally Into Right Now
with your host, Miss Mezz

1. Eating individually wrapped slices of Kraft cheese from the fridge. So classy, I can hardly stand it.

2. Watching episodes of Frasier on my laptop in bed as I fall asleep at night. It's comforting in a way that actual human interaction will never-- could never-- be. Oh, Daphne.

3. The new Adele album which is really my only reason for living except for also maybe #1 of this list.

4. Reading magazines cover to cover as quickly as possible while listening to Pandora via the TiVo and passing judgment on Pandora's choices for me.

5. Fantasizing about my own personal grotto that is filled with, depending on the day, cold Coca-Cola or fruit punch flavored Kool-Aid. But usually Coke. In these fantasies, I execute a perfect dive from a high cliff into the sparkling pool.

i ♥ tv

So, Dirty Dancing is on TV. Well obviously I have to watch until Patrick Swayze tells Jerry Orbach that nobody puts Baby in a corner and they dance at the end now. Even though I own it on DVD and have watched it on TV a bajillion times. In the meantime, guess I'll blog.

So, over Christmas (I think) my sister and I came up with a list of our favorite television moments. I think I'll share.

Top 10 TV Moments
by Rix and Trix

1. "Sydney, you've been missing for two years." (Alias)
2. Veronica and Logan kiss on the balcony (Veronica Mars)
3. Monica and Rachel lose the apartment to Joey and Chandler (Friends)
4. The finale of "Pier Pressure" ... it all comes together (Arrested Development)
5. "Two Cathedrals." Nuff said. (This might honestly be the greatest moment in television ever for me.) (The West Wing)
6. The Christmas episode warms hearts all over Hollywood. (Studio 60)
7. Marian almost dies in the cave and Robin Hood gets all emotional (Robin Hood (BBC version obvs))

internet annoyances

I've noticed that even if you delete an entry from a blog, it still appears on your Google Reader. I pretty much hate this. I guess it's helpful if you want to rescue old entries, but knowing that if I delete something here and someone already has me on Google Reader, it doesn't matter, kind of sucks.

But then, I guess that's the chance you take with the internet!

Anyway, if you saw the video I posted, well, shucks, I was just trying to do something for my HIMYM roleplay group and accidentally posted it to the wrong blog. Sigh. Oh, the dangers of the internet...

Back to my day off now!

one of those days

So, today was the day I was supposed to get back on track-- go to the gym, eat well, all that good stuff.

Then I had an irritating, though minor, fight with my boyfriend. Now the last thing I want to do is have to go sweat. I'd rather drive home and sulk on the couch with a bag of potato chips.

I guess the question is-- am I just making excuses? I'd probably feel better if I went and worked it out at the gym. But sometimes I just can't face fighting cars for a parking spot just to do something that quite frankly I'm not enjoying very much lately.

Talk about a negative attitude today. Maybe I'll check in tomorrow with a sunny disposition. Just call me Little Orphan Annie.

combating the sunday night blues

Do you ever get the Sunday Night Blues? I've noticed within the past couple months that whenever I mention to someone that I have it, in return I get an understanding or empathetic look. I suppose it's a universal thing to mourn the passing of a killer weekend, or in this case, a killer vacation, and face the coming work week.

I feel like it's gotten worse with me lately. It's something I talk with my counselor about from time to time (oh yes... have I mentioned that I'm in therapy? It's only fitting, right? Now that I'm in the "real world" if we insist on calling it that...) and I've learned to deal with it. In the past I've wasted entire Sundays staring mournfully out the window and weeping intermittently. I wish I was joking. But I've been doing a little better with these outbursts of emotion lately.

But coming back from an extended weekend or eleven days of holiday time is about fifty times harder. Especially when you've been away and have to physically make your way back. However, I did a few things to try to ease my weepiness today:

1. Took up my friend Angela's last minute offer to go see The Fighter. I got to see Marky Mark beat the shit out of some guys and then make out with Amy Adams-- that is, Marky Mark did, not me-- so that was pretty cool.

2. I bought some cinnamon crunch bagels at Panera for breakfast the next few days. If that won't get me to roll out of bed in the morning, I don't know what will.

But just to make extra sure that I keep my spirits up this Sunday eve, I might just eat one of those bagels now.

So long, holiday break. You'll be missed.
