stream of consciousness

I tried to make cinnamon cookies last night. Tried being the operative word. Unfortunately, I confused baking power for baking SODA and the cookies were inedible. Like literally, David spit one out of his mouth after sampling one. Haha, so much for trying to be all domestic.

I'm back into watching American Idol, it's just too entertaining to be missed. And I'm not necessarily referring to the contestants being entertaining, although some of them definitely have serious talent (I think Melinda is my fave so far). The entertainment for me comes from watching Ryan Seacrest and Simon Cowell have a verbal catfight every week, as well as watching whatever crazy antics Paula Abdul pulls. I guess it just proves the inevitable point that a crazy freak show makes for good TV.

I love Pandora.com. I've been using this streaming radio site to create a customized station that has become like my own personal DJ during my work day. Where else would I be able to listen to Frank Sinatra, Regina Spektor, The Temptations, Keith Urban, and Jimmy Eat World all on one station? I must say, hearing my favorite compliation of artists and songs flow through my computer speakers keeps me sane during those slow afternoons in Walker Hall.

I watched "The Last Kiss" last night while David was at a Kings game. It wasn't as terrible as several people told me it was going to be, but it was certainly a more jaded look at relationships than most Hollywood films. It left me wondering how many people in their 20's in American society go into a marriage with the firm belief that it's actually going to last for a lifetime. I think more and more couples have the "hope" that it's going to work out, but not the solid conviction that their marriage will truly be able to weather all of life's ups and downs. Which makes me realize that I must sound incredibly naive to people when I say that I know I will be with David for the rest of my days. As Zach Braff's character says in the movie, "A wedding is just...so...final." Oh, really?

I'm hungry, off to enjoy my leftover Pluto's sandwich!
