The weeks have been absolutely flying by. Seriously, how is it almost September?! I can’t keep up.
Random stuff I’ve been thinking about…
I changed the theme of my blog! It’s pink now and much more ME than the blue craziness.
Work life has been insane. One of my managers left (*sob*) and we hired a new assistant… so with all these changes, I had the opportunity to travel to San Francisco for a few days (my first time in over a year!). I was looking forward to the hustle and bustle and cool weather of the city. Imagine my surprise when I arrived on Monday morning and was greeted by the VERY SAME HEAT that I left behind. WTF. Despite the heat, it was a good trip — I had fun dinners with great friends, caught up with co-workers, window shopped downtown, picked up late night frozen yogurt to cool down, and even managed to get some work done. I feel very lucky to have experienced the city again. But when I landed in Orange County last night, I was ridiculously happy. It definitely doesn’t have the energy of a big city but it’s home. “There’s no place like home” is a cliche for a reason.
I watched an episode of The Good Wife the other day and LOVED it. Now it’s my mission to watch the entire first season before the second premieres. The pilot is free to download on iTunes this week so I think it’s fate.
The Burn Notice summer finale was INSANE. In a good way.
I recently discovered the wonder that is the Google Reader. I follow 100+ blogs (it’s an addiction, what can I say) and I finally have a streamlined way of always being caught up. SO. AWESOME.
Maybe I’m judge-y or whatever but I think it’s kind of weird when I see that someone’s Twitter feed consists primarily of work updates and links to work-related articles. Or maybe I’m jealous that there are people out there that truly feel like their work is an extension of them. Believe me, I would NEVER be caught reading trade publications in my free time. Time away from work is too precious a commodity.
I have iphone rage. I updated my 3G to the new OS a few weeks back and now it sucks balls. It’s slow and is prone to freezing. Damn you Apple. I bet this was your evil plot all along — to make me hate my phone so much that I’ll eventually break down and buy the new iphone 4. Bastards. I’m annoyed but will totally fall for it. Hook, line, and sinker.
Totally late but YAY for Lauren winning So You Think You Can Dance. She was my favorite of the final 3 (awesome personality and versatility) — and I totally loved that she foiled the judges hope of a male contemporary dancer winning. Ok, they never said that but I firmly believe there are behind the scenes manipulations that happen on this show to get the results they want. I guess I’m a TV conspiracy theorist?
That’s all I’ve got. Sorry for all the text. Next time I’ll include pics. 😀
The Good Wife is amazing! I’m jealous that you get to see it all for the first time. 😀
I need to get used to the comments at the top now, rather than bottom of entries. I love the pink layout though!! Very refreshing.
I had a person on Twitter who only posted political things. Drove me nuts so I eventually unfollowed. I couldn’t care a less and didn’t share her very liberal views on many of the issues. (I’m much more moderate on most issues than anything else.) But yes, work=definitely won’t be posting about that too much.
Everyone keeps recommending The Good Wife. and now you too Kel!! Obviously I need to watch this show.
i’ve got pointers to have your 3g still work with the OS update, and it worked well. Unless of course you just want the iphone 4, i love it and its sexy! 😀

Yay! So glad you liked “The Good Wife”! It REALLY is a great show! Not sure if you saw, but Archie Panjabi (Kalinda) was the Emmy for Supporting Actress, Drama over the weekend! Kalinda is my favorite character. So happy for her…it was totally well deserved! YES, you need to catch up with Season 1 if you can…a lot happened! Which ep did you watch?
