GG

It’s Gilmore Girls night, yo. And I want to hype myself up more generally. GG to me! (Dave’s Francofriends seriously say this all the time so I no longer think of it in gaming terms but as Quebecois props.) Ha! But really, who am I kidding? GG only stands for Gilmore Girls tonight. The title of this post should be “pwned!”

Seriously, I need to get my shit together if I’m going to survive the next few weeks. Even though I have an incomprehensible amount of work/obligations to balance (and frickin’ DO), I’m in good spirits.

Last year at this time, I got SHINGLES because I was so effin’ stressed out about every damn thing under the sun. Right as I was getting better at dealing with the fatigue and pain, I got smacked by tonsilitis. And you know what? I passed my exams and took off to Paris with one of my best friends. Not too shabby.

So even though I’m having a crummy time keeping everything under control, I really believe that everything will work out. I can do this!

Dave and I always cringe when his sister and bro-in-law get all new age-y on us and go off on the power of the mind; but I’m pretty ready to bust out the Eckhart Tolle and tap into all my unlocked ass-kickin’ ability. BOOYAH!

Happiness sure is a beautiful thing, eh? 🙂

In totally unrelated news, I just learnt tonight that Anderson Cooper, my number one journalist crush, is the son of Gloria Vanderbilt! HOW INSANE IS THAT? My parents totally flipped when I shared that tidbit with them. I knew he had pure blue eyes but I had no idea that he was a blue blood!

//EDIT//GG rerun. Of course I had to flip to Boston Legal for a few minutes. Could Candace Bergen look any hotter? I love it. She’s aging gracefully. Sure, she’s probably had some work done, but just the right amount!

But what is up with the men? I can understand William Shatner packing on the pounds, but I’m really not down with James Spader’s chub. He’s too young to be packing on that mid-age weight like that! I’m going to get into trouble for saying this especially because of my position as a chubby girl who has suffered tremendously from the media gospel of thin, but dude needs to get into the Zone ™ and hire a trainer. *ducks*

    i am so sad that you didn’t post any pictures of the food you made in your last post! All that stuff is so time consuming that I hate making it, but hell props to you for being dedicated to the domestics gods.

    shingles?! tonsilitis?! girl promise me you’ll take better care of yourself this time around? I’m iffy on the heal you mind and your body will follow routine, but i didn’t believe in yoga until i tried it, so it can’t hurt eh? just don’t go meditating instead of studying… that could be bad.

    apparently, anderson cooper also likes dark chocolate. *hint hint wink wink*
