Sucking
I know, I know.
I have fallen off the blog wagon.
There have been several reasons for this, none of them really interesting or remotely exciting.
My friend Jason, from Buffalo, came to visit for almost an entire week and I offered him my couch and we spent many evenings discussing the finer things in life like how tired you get walking around New York City all day and which is more beneficial to your health: giving up meat? or giving up dairy?
I know, I know. Things are CRAZY OVER HERE. Especially when you consider that I'm eating a bowl of Trix. When was the last time I did this? I'll tell you: about a month ago when I bought one of those cereal variety packs. I don't really love Trix but when there are eight little boxes of cereal glaring at you from the shelves of the supermarket and one of those is Cinnamon Toast Crunch and the other is Honey Nut Cheerios and ANOTHER ONE is Cocoa Puffs, you DO NOT ASK QUESTIONS. You just buy it.
I always leave the Frosted Cheerios for last because it disappoints me. Nothing fun exists in that little box. I'd rather have plain or Honey Nut.
Hi. The blog has reached a new low.
What else what else...
I have caved into what seems to be a blog trend and purchased Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred. I plan on beginning the shred tomorrow morning. Actually, I PLANNED on starting TODAY but you know, I had cereal to eat and work to be late for, etc. etc.
My Christmas shopping is 5/8 completed. For my extended family, we choose names so that everyone gets one present. We really are far too fertile to do more than that. I chose the name of my twenty-year old male cousin. What on earth do you get a straight guy that age!? Anyone else I know would be getting tickets to see Liza at the Palace. But...dang. I don't know what non-homosexual people like. AT ALL.
I have decided to apply to graduate school. I don't think I want to talk about it because I have settled upon three of the best schools in the country, schools that take between 15-18 people out of 850 applicants. So, ha. I will let you know how that goes. I am elbow deep in applications and statements of purpose, etc. This last thing really bothered me and took me over a month to finish. Statement of purpose!? "TO BE AWESOME. THE END."
Another school has a little blurb on their application that essentially says, "If you are not applying to graduate school directly out of undergraduate school, please use the space below to tell us what you've been doing."
Really?
"EATIN' CEREAL AND KISSIN' BOYZ. KTHX."
What? Does that answer not make me a competitive candidate?
WEIRD. It sounds so good to me.
Wellllll, the rain in New York City is a-pourin' down and I need to get dressed and go to work. Tonight I am going to my first ever BROADWAY SHOW OPENING thanks to my dearest friend Ashley AKA Commenter Werbie who has hooked me up with a pair of FREE tickets because she is the epitome of awesome. JK and I are going to take in a lovely viewing of "Pal Joey" and I hope it kicks ass. Even if it doesn't, who cares? I'm not paying to see it. WOOOOOOOO!
Better posts to follow, I am finishing up an LA Recap and I still have some lovely topics to ramble about from our lovely SUGGEST A TOPIC Blog Post of 2008. I know, you're excited. Me too.
FYI, the only thing worse than Frosted Cheerios? Soggy Trix. Ew.

Oh, dear. I was going to link to your blog in a post tomorrow, but now I'm not so sure. Cereal preferences? You give more detail about your cereal preferences than the grad school topic.
Graduate school for what? Where, what, why? Details, lady.
My bro-in-law is finishing up his 3rd year of grad school (MFA-Drama) at Rutgers this year. His stories about it are always a hoot.
I have two brothers: 24 and 19. Neither is gay (as you know cause I wanted you to marry one of them). I don't buy them presents and they don't buy me presents and then we say "Merry Christmas- Didn't have to buy me a present!!!"
When I asked my students what a good gift for a 19yo male was, they said beer. Ha! So I guess my suggestion for you is beer.
Congrats on the grad school! I'm celebrating my winter break from grad school now :)
Deanna, I think I answered you in e-mail mostly but I have to say CEREAL IS VERY IMPORTANT. Just so we're clear.
Abbie! Beer. HMMM. That was my first thought until I realized this particular cousin got a DUI a year or so ago...
Sigh...back to the drawing board...
