i'm (not) a believer

Can someone explain to me why, on the girl version of The Gays makeover TV show, all the girls are skinny with questionable hair? Like, am I REALLY supposed to believe these women are that much of a mess? Because I don't.

Really, I don't trust many people, least of all TV executives. They enjoy lying. They try to tell me I want to watch "reality" shows, even though they're totally fabricated. But I do like ANTM ("Your eyes... they're just, like, dead!") and I did actually watch an entire episode of "Rock of Love" with Bret Michaels. Gosh, it's dreadful. Those women are TERRIBLE. Next week I believe there is a throwdown of sorts. Tomorrow is "America's Most Smartest Model." The idea of watching it makes me feel dirty, like watching Jerry Springer. I'm really going to try not to. It shouldn't be too hard.

Unrelated (well, loosely, I suppose), I'm three days into trying to eat better. I was bloodletted on Monday because my general health seems to be in a decline, so thought I should consciously eliminate the bad crap, like processed sugar and (sob!) bread. Everyone is all excited about oatmeal lately (including my doctor) and, having never eaten it as a child, didn't get it. I'm two days into oatmeal for breakfast and... I don't love it. It is pretty good when it's really, really thick. I make it with quick oats (is that allowed?), soy milk, a touch of salt and a dash of maple syrup (I have a bunch of honey I would like to use up, but wasn't sure if it "went" with oatmeal). I'm hopeful I can keep this up. I do have to admit I had a shamrock shake on Tuesday night, but it was after 6 servings of fruits and vegetables so I felt OK with it.

Why are Josee Chouinard and Andrea Martin discussing fibre on TV? Fibre is neither skating nor humour.

OK, so I really have to stop buying glasses. I just got these. But they were SO CHEAP! Like, $50! Anita got me the "friends and family" deal, but even without they would have been $70 (I had a discount coupon from the last ones). They're just so easy to buy. I'm not going back until I have a big girl job. Or until they get new frames in.

Five weeks of school left. Eek.

Nobody would blame you for buying those glasses. They are a very sensible and stylish purchase. NOT to buy them would have been wrong.

Oh, and nuts and raisins make oatmeal nicer. Definitely!
