My Phone's Point of View

I just downloaded the pics on my phone to my computer and thought I'd post a few.

Some super-creepy looking models. I wonder if they come alive at night?


Are iridescent cars really that cool?


Sitting in traffic...my daily ritual. Though this was actually a pretty light day if you can believe it.


Fuzzy pic of my cubicle.


Who wants an Obama hat? I'm betting they sell a lot of those camouflage ones.

I wish I had more to post...

This week has been super-boring!!

On the plus side, my eyes may have actually recovered. At least, it's looking that way. I started wearing my contacts on Tuesday and three days later, still no sign of redness. The eyeballs are still white! And I got my new glasses which I think are super-cute. Maybe I'll add a picture later.

I've been obsessively listening to my Cabaret CD since Natasha Richardson died because I'm bizarre like that. She sings on the broadway CD in case you're wondering what the connection is. I mentioned on facebook that we shared a birthday and had sisters named Jolee/Joely, so I've been aware of her for quite awhile whereas others may not know her so much. Freak accidents like that are scary and always get my mind racing wondering what I'd do if something like that happened to one of my family members. Here's hoping I don't ever find out!

I've had a hard time getting up this week. It's still so dark when I wake up. It's just not right!! I shouldn't be up before the sun.

Alright, that's all I've got for now. I'll try to think of something more interesting to post next time.

Student loan forgiveness?

All this stimulus crap annoys me. I hate that I have the wrong kind of debt. No one out there is trying to give me a handout. Sure, we'll give money to all of the idiots who got us into this mess. And we'll even give help to those people that got in over there heads with mortgages they couldn't afford. But no one's even offering to give any help to those of us who play by the rules. I bought in to the idea that a higher education is the way to go. You'll earn more money, they all said. Now I'm stuck with massive student loan debt and a crazy low paying job in this horrible economy. All of the firms, even the big guys with the fancy offices in all the big cities, are laying off everyone left and right. Which leaves even more lawyers in the pool competing for the same limited number of jobs, and companies/firms are taking advantage of the situation by paying measly salaries. So now there are lots of lawyers out there like me. Just out of law school, tons of debt, and being paid slightly more than just out of college salaries, i.e. barely scraping by. Ergo, spending absolutely no money because we have none to spend. But no one seems to care because it's just not the right kind of debt.

Turns out, there's a whole group of folks who have the same thinking I do, and they're actually doing something about it. Here are a couple of links in case you're interested.

Forgiving Student Loan Debt Would Stimulate Economy (Serious)
Student Loan Bailout. Just Do It. (Funny)

Student loan forgiveness? Ahhh, wishful thinking!

Walkin' in WeHo

I finally got off my lazy behind and went for a walk tonight. I went on my usual route. And by usual, I mean I think I've walked it maybe two other times.

I headed down Santa Monica Blvd.

Past the Abbey.

Behind Dan Tana's.

In front of John Krasinski's house (I may or may not have picked this route because I'm a stalker).

Up to Sunset Blvd.

Past the Whisky a Go Go.

Right by the Viper Room.

And past all the fancy people shopping at the fancy shops and eating at the fancy restaurants on the strip.

And I thought to myself? Why don't I do this more often?

The Week That Was

Part 1: The Car

Well folks, my car was officially totaled. It was a good car...no, a great car! And I have shed a couple of tears for its demise. But it's time to move on to bigger and better things. Or at least, 2 more doors and cheaper. After much debate, I've opted to buy my friend's 2004 Hyundai Elantra instead of a shiny, new...er, slightly used Camry. Someday soon I'll get me one of those snazzy cars. But the Elantra was in my budget. And it's got 4 doors. And power locks and windows. Now that's just fancy!

Part 2: The Eyes


I made the mistake of putting in my contacts on Friday. Let's just say the eyes didn't react so well. I've been trying to tell the eye doctor that it was my contacts, but he wouldn't listen. It's like college all over again when my eyes rejected my contacts. Evidently, my eyes only like super-thin daily disposables, which aren't cheap. And really aren't strong enough to correct my vision. I think I'm just going to become a nerdy 4 eyes for the time being. Glasses are in style, aren't they?
