Why is it so hard for me to find something I want to buy for $5.01?? I found this awesome deal on a cute dinnerware set I don't really need and now I'm trying to find something for $5.01 so I'd get free shipping. I want the Evolution (David Duchovny, Orlando Jones, Seann William Scott) DVD but I don't feel like paying $13.49 for it. At least this has kept me busy all morning.

I've been so busy/lazy I haven't blogged in a while...

Sunday - I spent Saturday night, Sunday morning and afternoon at my parent's house in OC so I completely missed the biggest news this year. How can someone who prides herself on knowing all the news, political and celebrity gossip, etc. not know that Saddam was captured until after everyone and their mommas knew?? In fact, my mom was the one who told me and my dad had told her! My parents barely know English and they knew!! I'm losing my touch. My roommate barely watches American TV (she sticks to Chinese programming and videos) and she was the one who told me on Tuesday night that there was a Primetime Live interview with Pres. Bush.

Monday Night Football was awesome because a former Bruin finally did something in the NFL! Freddie Mitchell (wide receiver for the Eagles) threw a 25 yard TD pass in the game. He did that all the time at UCLA... oh my gosh, I miss my college years... when UCLA was actually good in sports. How the hell did UCLA's basketball team just lose to UCSB the other night??

Tuesday - don't read if you haven't watched that episode of 24 yet and you're planning to... I yelled NOOOOOOOO when Tony collapsed and I almost started crying but then he got up so I was ok. Why is his wife acting like such a bitch though?? It's all part of the job, especially that job and if one person is higher up on the ladder than the other one, they'll know top secret shit they can't tell the other person. It's not like he was cheating on her or anything. Steph thinks it's hilarious how into the show I am. I can't believe we have to wait 3 weeks for the next "hour".

I knew it was too good to be true to have a competent assistant. Stan has this agreement at this office where he gives the big company a percentage of his profits in exchange for office space, computer help and employees the big company pays for (the employees - me, Eileen and Daniel - work just on Stan's stuff). The one employee (he was smart and he was from UCLA) the big company had left last week and they hired this Asian girl (Jane) to take his place but she's not as bright and she doesn't speak English as well as Daniel so the big boss tells us he's going to have Daniel and Jane "split up" the work between Stan and the big company. This is just a nice way of saying, we're gonna take the smarter employee and leave you guys with the other one because your work isn't as important. I understand where the big boss is coming from though - he sends Daniel out on audits, etc and its better to have someone competent go out to the clients instead of someone quiet who barely speaks English. I miss having Daniel to give work to though - whenever he had questions, he'd IM me instead of come into the office every 5 minutes like Jane does. Oh well, it was good while it lasted.

On Wednesday, I saw something that will scar me for life. Stan had changed to go jogging and I guess he had to come into our office to tell us something before he left. I shudder now just thinking about it. He was wearing what looked like biker shorts and his legs are so freakin white. They're also skinny and the skin is a little wrinkly. EWWWW. I told Dante the next day that his legs look so much better than Stan's and he said, "Thanks for comparing my legs to a 60 year old white guy's."

Through the magic of TiVO, I'm watching All My Children again and that soap is far and away better than Days and Passions! The actors and actresses really know how to act on that show and the writers are also so much better. None of that people talking to themself shit.

My ringtone on my phone is "Rock Your Body" - JT of course... Dante has been getting that song in his head lately (he's been singing it) and he hasn't figured out why yet. He doesn't get the words right either. He keeps singing, "It's been so hard to walk away..." and I correct him every single time - "IT'S Don't be so quick to walk away... dance with me... I want to rock your body... please stay." Why do I get offended when he sings it wrong??
