First up: it’s Sex AND the City? I swore it was Sex IN the City. News to me. @_@

I notice I rant a bit as you pointed out, Seph, but… sorry, here’s another. XD Sex In The City is… well, it’s one of those many, many TV shows in the media today that enrapture people for all the wrong reasons. What happened to the days of dignified acting, responsible and respectable actresses like Audrey Hepburn, Katharine Hepburn, Bette Davis, or Judy Garland who still managed to be outrageously attractive and not complete sarcastic sluts sorry, “four intelligent women in control of their own lives” - wherein “control” somehow means being ridden like a racehorse in the bedroom at every opportunity.

And yet Sex and the City stars are today’s Hepburn, idolized and inspiring all the wrong ideals. “It’s okay to be a high-priced whore with expensive shoes, wine glass in one hand and a cigarette in the other!” Shows like this (and “My Super Sweet 16 - don’t EVEN get me started) emphasize and underline a syndrome in today’s youth I like to call PPS - “Pampered Princess Syndrome” - an overwhelming sense of “can’t do wrong” inspired by feminism and shallow media like this.

Finally, Sarah Jessica Parker: you look like a horse. Stop it.

Robot Chicken nailed this:

ANYWAY. I should be sleeping soon. I need to go make my lunch for the morning, though, and retrieve my work pants from the dryer downstairs first. But… I had to rant a bit. XD My camera battery died today. :( It was the free disposable that came with it - I’d say it lasted rather long. Good run - I hope the camera continues some good battery functionality like this. Speaking of cameras, my brother and I had a good time in Wal*Mart today going and getting a camera SD card for him along with a USB memory stick - each at 1GB. Our plan had been to get him a nice LCD HDTV at around 19″, but the only good one we liked was sold out… so we abandoned that, put down the nice $44 upconverting (!!) DVD player we found, set aside the HDMI cable for it, and gathered the other goodies. I like electronics shopping. XD And I’m liking how often I can hang out with Cody lately - I guess we’ve bother matured past the “we hate each other” stages of our lives. :) Funny, eh? We’ve been playing GTA 4 almost every night, laughing and having fun. ^^

I also got a nice pair of cheap sunglasses (cue ZZ Top). I look so cool. :D I’ve always liked the cheapos - who can afford or actively require the hundred dollar sunglasses (unless they’re prescription)? And I don’t feel nearly as bad as those spendy people would when I’ll inevitably break mine. XD

18 days and 16 hours til Tricia arrives. :3 It’s getting so close! I washed the car today and everything (trust me, it needed it). I’m so anxious to see her and drive to DisneyWorld. I feel like a kid again. XD

OH! So Andrew graduated, and we attended that ceremony as well. Very different from my brother’s. I liked the speeches given, particularly the one from the Salutatorian, who was both entertaining AND intelligent (as well as humble). The Valedictorian was a bit preachy, but damn… he was offered full-ride scholarships to Harvard, Princeton, AND Yale. @_@ Anyway, Saturday was spent in the morning at TKD for the testing, where I got to have some fun, but my brother and Andrew put on a demo that, while very cool, resulting in my brother breaking some minor bones in his foot. =/ So he’s been limping around. Hope he feels better soon…

I should wrap this up - gotta sleep. @_@
