Hell no, we won't go

My shirt is suffocating me. It's literally crushing my lungs so that each breath is a very slow, concentrated inhalation/exhalation. This is what happens when I try to look cute. Never again.

So far, so good w/ the new Reagan. Twice this week I've woken up 1/2 hour early to eat breakfast and watch the news rather than jumping out of bed at the last minute and rushing to get ready for work. I feel invigorated. I also realize this may not last long, so I should enjoy it while I can. Last night I actually left my house to go to a showcase titled "Hooray for Hollywood" w/ scenes from films from the 30's and 40's. It was entertaining, but I think I really liked it b/c it only lasted 1 hour and 15 mins. I have a short attention span. When I got home, I watched "The Real World" w/ my friend who works on the show...she kept talking about things that happen later in the season and I found myself in an internal tug of war: "tell me more" vs. "don't ruin the ending". Tell me more won, but I won't spoil anything for the rest of you. I have decided that Landon is my favorite character this season....the scene w/ him and MJ in the confessional was f*cking hilarious. I don't think I've ever actually laughed at "The Real World"....full on, holding my stomach laughing.

And in more Paris H news...while she was doing a book signing at Book Soup, she was met w/ about 50 protestors holding signs w/ statements such as "Paris, your book is only good for hamster bedding." Really, is that all you've got? Hamster bedding? I would like to think maybe some of the other signs were a little more creative, but then again, these are people that spend their time protesting Paris Hilton's literary efforts.

Suddenely I'm reminded of this time a few years ago when a few friends and myself were driving around looking for somewhere to eat. As we passed by the Gap, we see this guy (friend? maybe...but more like just some guy we knew) Zane protesting in favor of workers' wages (I'm assuming sweat shop workers...I don't think he was protesting to raise the wages for the guy who folds the sweaters). After Derrick yelled out the window "Zane!", making him the most popular of the five protestors, Coy quipped "What's Zane doing there? He doesn't even work." It's true, and even though that's not the point of the protest, Zane didn't have a job but rather his dad paid for everything. I guess it was funny if you were there (and saying this always makes for a bad story), but maybe Emily will read this and laugh. Basically, Zane was just one of those guys who protested for the sake of protesting. He liked to call people "socialists" when it wasn't even relevant. Oh, memories.
