back to the daily grind

So it’s my first day back to work and I’m there until 8pm. !!! DIE DIE DIE. I’m still jet-lagged and all I wanted to do was go home and rest and watch 24. Is this too much to ask?

Anyway, I’m trying to catch up on all the pop culture gossip/TV spoilers/fandom fun that happened while I’ve been gone and WOW… lots of stuff. Little Miss Joey Potter (Katie Holmes) has gotten herself engaged. Aww. Don’t really have much of an opinion on Chris Klein but I think they make an adorable couple. Both beautiful and all that. And hee! I have to admit, I’m a huge fan of Britney Spears but seriously, what is wrong with her?!? Getting married? And it was a practical joke? Eeep.

Speaking of Britney, Rob and I are *pissed* that we didn’t get tickets to her upcoming tour. We both thought the tickets were going to be sold a bit later than they were so we missed it! Grrr. I was really looking forward to it.

A little 2003 survey that I thieved from Christie:
