20 Statements

1. You end up looking/sounding like a schizophrenic if you try to have a conversation/pretty much do anything while listening to what's going on over the headset you are wearing.

2. Beethoven hated sopranos and double basses but the man was still a bloody genius.

3. Butterscotch candies are actually quite delicious (sorry Shiri)

4. I am kind of infatuated right now with the Mitfords and also kind of wish I was in their family. I wonder what I would have ended up being? Communist like Jessica? Fascist like Unity or Diana? A chicken farmer and farm manager like Pamela? Shot in the chest like Tom? A flip-floper like Nancy? Or a Duchess like Deborah? Or maybe I would have shocked everyone and run for Parliament...

5. Unity Valkyrie Mitford was conceived in the town of Swastika, Ontario in Canada. She later went on to be a passionate if not slightly obsessed member of the Nazi Party and a near-stalker of Hitler. If that is not foreshadowing, I'm not sure what is.

6. I sort of with that I had pets like Harold, Chester and Howie. Well, only to some extent... Chester is a little crazy.

7. The back of my legs itch like MAD because they were sunburned a week ago. I'm in misery, and not in the fun Maroon 5 song kind of way.

8. If you don't care enough to leave sub plans (and really, unless you are on your deathbed, you can email/call something in- this is the era of smart phones), then I probably don't care enough to make your kids do work.

9. I'm sorry, do kids go to high school this day or hoochie-clothing school. Because I'm appalled at what kids wear these days.

10. Are there people out there who don't give a rat's tail about the NBA finals? If so, please let me know. I'd like to be their friend.

11. My commitment to subbing is either strengthened or weakened when I hear the school and the grade the job is for. I'm been avoiding elementary school positions- I don't know if I"m suited for that. I would have no idea what to do with them 95% of the time.

12. I'm going camping on the beach this weekend and I'm totally stoked. I also just realized that I'm waaaayyyyy behind on pictures for my blog and that will be remedied tomorrow if I don't have a job.

13. I've completely caught up on RSC Podcasts. I'm not quite sure what to do with myself anymore.

14. Oh did I cry when (spoiler alert!) Tosh and Owen died on Torchwood. Ugh, I was finally growing fond of Owen too!

15. I just read the synopsis for this new show this summer on NBC. Love in the Wild (NBC)

It's like speed-dating in the jungle. Twenty men and women are paired off and dropped into a Costa Rican jungle with only a map and each other to navigate through various challenges. At day's end, winners will be treated to romantic dates, after which they'll choose whether to remain together or try a new partner for the next task. Um, I'm sorry but a) ridiculous premise and b) what is this, Amazing Race meets the Bachelor? Ugh.

16. Then I read this: The Lying Game (ABC Family) Foster child Emma (Alexandra Chando) learns she has an identical twin sister, Sutton, who was adopted by a wealthy family. The sisters trade places while Sutton pursues a lead on the identity of their birth mother. So basically the Prince and the Pauper. Way to steal for Mark Twain ABC Family.

17. The conclusion about the previous two statements is that summer TV sucks and I will be sticking to my Netflix queue and my books/books on CD (and maybe Psych and White Collar, duh...)

18. The new face cream that I got a few months ago SUCKS compares to the one I got last year in Oxford. SUCKS!!!!!! Even though it's the same brand. SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

19. I really like everything to do with books. Free books. Book stores. Book clubs. Big books. Little books. Kids books. Adult books. Books on tape. If it's a book, I'm probably a fan of at least something.

20. If I don't end up getting a job tomorrow, I"m going to the pool. Maybe all day. The end.
