Visiting home

I'm visiting my parents right now, and it's been a while since I've been here. Not sure how long, maybe since Christmas, or maybe sometime after that, but it's nice to be home sometimes. My mom spoils me. Seriously, there has been fat kid food galore. Ice cream, cannolis, carbohydrates in every form...yup, it's probably a good thing I don't live here anymore, or I'd weigh 500 pounds. Still, there are some nice things about being at home:

1. Old friends. I spent the evening watching the Academy Awards and playing cards with some people I have been close with since the dawn of time or, more realistically, second grade.

2. Tom Hanks' very brief announcement of the best picture winner. Seriously, the guy didn't even say who was up for it. I heard "Blah blah Ingrid Bergman/Humphrey Bogart winner is Hurt Locker." I swear the director lady hadn't even made it off the stage yet. Still, I was happy, because then I could go home and eat more of the fat kid food that is sitting here with my name on it.

3. Pomegranate Lemonade. Not only is pomegranate lemonade delicious, but for some reason, whenever I come home, it is warmer here and the snow stops. So it was warm enough to drink the lemonade and pretend it was summer. Always a bonus.

4. California Dreams reunion shows. Ok, so it wasn't a full show, but check out Jimmy Fallon's show site to see the CD cast all together again, singing the theme song while Sly shows off his incredible abs. Mind you, it's been a zillion years since the show was on, so they have all gotten old, but it's definitely worth checking out if you've got some time and you ever liked the show.

And now I'm sleepy...

Funemployment

Ok, so it has been quite some time since I have posted. I could make a list of excuses, but that would require effort, and to tell you the truth, right now I can't remember what was so important that I had no time to do anything for my blog.

So instead, I will give you a brief update.

Things I love:

• Being unemployed - sounds bad, but is actually tons of fun, plus I now have time to figure out what to do with my life (and also to blog).
• The Percy Jackson books - Rick Riordan is a genius and will be so rich. And after reading his books, I have to say he deserves it all.
• Crumbs Bakery - best cupcakes ever. I have been there 2 days in a row. Yes, I'm a fat kid.
  
• iCarly - OK, so I'm not exactly in the target age range here but that show is hysterical. And Carly's studio was practically decorated by Jellio with all of my favorite things.

Things I don't love:

• Cold weather - Luckily, it is March, which means it is almost spring. This means it is almost summer. Ok, so that is kind of a leap, but really, can we get rid of all this snow, please? No more.
  
• Asthma - Pardon me, NYC, but I'd like to be able to breathe this week without the help of a little machine at the dr's office. K thx.

Things I don't care either way about:

• John Mayer - I don't know what he said to who, but I don't care. Didn't we all already know he was a douche?
• Who is going to be on Dancing with the Stars - I probably don't know who any of them are anyway.

Things I don't believe:

• The Backstreet Boys are having a cruise. Don't believe it either? Here is the "proof." I'm not sure how I feel about this...on one hand, I am still secretly in love with Nick Carter, but on the other hand, why?!

And now it's not a secret anymore. Sigh.
