One time a few years back I was visiting my mom, and I was watching Friends. It was the episode where Joey and Chandler were living in Monica and Rachel's apartment, and they got free porn, and all they did was sit around and watch free porn.

So my mom was watching it with me for some reason, she usually doesn't watch TV with me. She didn't laugh during the entire episode, except for the part when the guys are a watching a porno where a woman shaves a guy's chest.

Then all of a sudden my mom's laughing really hard. But what's even funnier than that was that she was trying NOT to laugh, but was very unsuccessful. Hee hee.

I was on the phone with my mother the other night, and she was telling me about how my 11-year-old cousin has seen Harry Potter twice so far. "I don't know, it just seems so juvenile to me," she said.

To which I replied, "No shit, ma! It's a kid's movie!"

Yes, I can swear to my mother and she doesn't care. She's a funny mom like that.

So there's this girl that I see on campus all the time who looks just like my friend Robin. They have the same face, hair color, and they carry themselves the same way. It's eerie. Every time I see this girl I want to yell out "Robin!"

Except this girl is about an inch taller than me, and Robin's like six inches taller than me.

My horoscope from the Onion for this week:

Capricorn: (Dec. 22—Jan. 19)
"In Between Days" is the best Cure song. That's all there is to it, and Capricorn doesn't want to hear any different.

It is their best song (if you don't count "Just Like Heaven").

* Note to all you girls out there: Never underestimate the damage an unreturned phone call can do, especially to over-sensitive emo guys like me.

(She eventually called me back, six hours later. Swoon.)

If anyone ever tells you it never rains in Southern California, they're a big fat liar.

What I am thankful for:

The health and safety of me, my family, and my friends.

The endless supply of wonderful people that come into my life.

A job that, while taxing and unbearable at times, is ultimately rewarding on both an emotional and spiritual level.

Financial stability.

My ability to get along easily with others.

Being able to see the beauty in almost anything.

The numerous chances to repair once-damaged friendships.

At LAtimes.com, I found these two headlines posted in this order:

Cruise, Kidman Reach Secret Property Division Pact
 
Davis Unveils Plan to Tackle Budget Deficit

How can you not love a town that puts celebrity divorce before state budget issues?

And she said, "If you're gonna be somebody else with me,
I'd rather be somebody else with you."
I know exactly how that feels, whoa
How does it feel to feel?
I pulled back one short while
It was as if she'd only just learned how to smile

My favorite hairstyling product, IN10SE Hot Spun Wax, has sparkles in it. Mercifully, though, you can't see them when I put it in my hair.

Ow, I strained a muscle in my neck and it hurts to turn my head to the left.

Oooooo, it's cold in LA! I turned on my car's heater for the first time this fall while driving home from work.

I bought Wonder Boys and The Slums of Beverly Hills on DVD today (used!). But the dude at the used record store put the wrong disc in my Slums box. So, for one night only, I will be screening Robert Altman's ReadyToWear. Tomorrow, it goes back to Penny Lane. So yeah, come on over if you want to watch it. But don't expect me to watch with you.

The truly great thing about having really really smart friends is that when they come to visit you in your office when you're working, you can get them to help you correct midterm examinations.

We are all fiends for Gilmore Girls.

I left work early to be home in time to watch.

Laura turned down a night out on the town to watch.

The Ess-Dog called me to make sure that the VCR was set correctly and turned on in time to record it, because she's waiting in line at the Viper Room to see Goat Punishment (aka Weezer) and couldn't be home to watch.

I have a crush on a cashier that works at Trader Joe's. How can I tell? Normally, I would have gone to her register to get rung up. But today I was too ashamed of my purchases to do so (one frozen barbeque chicken pizza, one package of chicken apple sausage, one six-pack of beer, one jar of marinara sauce -- needless to say, I felt like a slob).



| 5:38 PM |
I left work early today, at 3:30. I didn't feel bad about doing so because 1) Tuesday and Wednesday will be extra long days; 2) I also have to work on Saturday, making it a 6-day work week; and 3) it was, like, practically dark out almost.

I asked Mandy the question of the day. If you're taking things slow with a girl, how do you make sure that she won't lose interest?

Mandy said, "If you back off in order to take things slow, then you'll lose her. But as long as you started off slow, and things get more and more special each time you hang out, she'll stay interested."

Lisa Marie's answer was, "Get her liquored up."
