Beautiful People

As I sit here and nurse my throbbing head and upset stomach, I find myself enthralled in ABC Family's marathon of beautiful People. I know that gearing up to watch 6 hours of TV is ambitious, hold the applause, but I am sucked in. The tales of high school drama and the battle of the privileged and the non trust funds combined with love triangles and pentagons makes me never want to leave the couch. In my next life I am going to be either a food critic (in that life I will not be a vegetarian) or a TV critic (in that life I will watch more channels than family friendly WB and ABC Fam). I like the idea of being a chef, but I think I like the act of eating more than the preparation. Although, I did have a good time grocery shopping for dinner yesterday. Adam and I are in a cycle where we are eating out a lot so there has been very little cooking lately that doesn't involve a microwave. I made my own version of a taco salad, mmm, so yummy. I was going to make a stir fry today, but my ass is glued to the couch and it feels like way too much work, a walk to Wendy's in the snow covered ground might be easier.

I am now in what I think is my fifth hour of Beautiful People. I am starting to get a little restless but have not actually moved yet. I did need to get my power cord for the computer since the battery was going to die and the thought of no internet was unthinkable.

I did think of another career choice, or more so an ambition. Write a book. I imagine it will be the fiction category with sprinkles of my personal memoirs thrown in for good measure. However I wouldn't want to have any sort of James Frey debacle. At least I don't have to wait for my next lifetime for that, ideally I can fit that in somewhere along the line. I don't know when, but someday. I need to at least give it a whirl, perhaps it could be a nice segway into career choices 2 and 3. That is if this whole advertising thing doesn't work out. I got an email about a company that is offering an internship program for recent grads- at one time I really wanted to work for that company, but either way, I still wanted to answer the media questions just because I thought it might be fun. I guess that means that I like I am doing.

On that note, here is my plan for the next couple of years:
-Next year do AAAA's competition (that is if my boss nominates me)
-2007 Go back for my Masters (need 2 years professional experience)
-2009 Complete Masters program
-Get appropriate promotions along the way
-Perhaps have kids somewhere around 2012- that looks really weird to attach a year with that, but thats the time I might consider giving up my personal freedom.

I think I want food, but nothing seems appetizing at all, or way to much work to get. Ugh, my head hurts.

YES! It took me two hours to get to work via public transport!
