welp, i FINALLY finished my VCU application the other day...and all 2o writing assignments later, it feels pretty good. i do sort of wish that i had applied earlier, though, since i'll have about two weeks from when i find out if i got in to find a place in richmond and move down there. ohhh well.
i went out with alissa last night in celebration/sadness of her moving to florida (but hey, i might be down south soon enough, too) and in our grand tradition of drinks and dessert at chain restaurants, we went to longhorn. pomegranate martinis and golden nugget fried cheesecake? yes PLEASE (i know it sounds kind of gross together, but it was glorious.)
on the book front, i just finished how starbucks saved my life, which is coincidentally about a guy who got laid off from his big-wig job at an ad agency in nyc in his early 60s- gee, that makes me really optimistic- and then has nowhere to turn besides a job as a barista at starbucks. he's the only old white guy amongst a bunch of young black kids, and it's a pretty good story. but then, i started reading all of these bad reviews about it (it was a huge ad for starbucks, he just wrote the book so he could make enough money to stop working there, etc.) and it made me start doubting it. hey, he could still be sincere, right? riiiight?? whatever. now, upon the recommendation of my dear boyfriend who happens to have scary-similar taste in books, i've started but enough about me by rolling stone columnist jancee dunn, which is nothing short of hysterical so far.
also, has anyone bothered to check out the real world: hollywood yet? i haven't watched the damn thing since the san diego season, but i really think this one is so fantastic so far for some reason. the 'roided-up guido that already left for rehab? the tacky stripper without a heart of gold? the holier-than-thou male model that plays twisted tricks on his housemates? sign me up.
i'm still in a music drought for the most part, but there has been some light at the end of the tunnel as of late: a bunch of new phantom planet songs ("dropped" and "leave yourself for somebody else"), "showstopper" by the salteens, and um....yeah, actually that's about it. and the mtv hits channel has just been giving me some laughs.
i feel like i should have graduated like, a week ago. i literally can't wait to walk across that stage on monday.
