If you're ever in the mood to be depressed...

...listen to the soundtrack of the movie The Hours. I bought it on itunes a while back, thinking it would be really great to listen to while doing homework or taking a relaxing shower. Turns out it makes me want to slit my wrists. Who knew?


In other news, Whole Foods' across the globe are being upgraded. I noticed recently that the barrels of overpriced mangos in my local whole foods looked to be constructed of re-finished hardwood. After looking around furhter, I noticed several recent improvements, like a much more comprehensive salad bar, one that includes sandwiches (who puts a sandwich in a salad is another story). Being the inquisitive person I am, I could not help but ask my good friend-the woman re-shelfing the two bite brownies-what the deal with all the new improvements was and when I could expect a jamba juice to nonchalantly reside left of the prepared foods section. She then told me, in no uncertain terms, that every Whole Foods is essentially trying to live up to the one in the Time Warner mall in New York. I then told her, in no uncertain terms, that it was going to take a lot more than a couple of sandwiches and a mahogany barrel to match that whole foods. Oh, and there will be no Jamba Juice.

When there's nothing to blog about and your capstone is in a week...

...you still don't blog about the primaries!  

BUT, I just read an article on the Huffington post entitled "Big Rewards Await Clinton If She Ends Campaign Now."   In short, should Hillary bow down now, the Obama campaign will pay her back the $11.4 million of her own money that she used in campaigning, along with an estimated $10 million to $15 million that she spent on random campaign expenses that she had also used her own money on.  In addition, should Hill decide to bow down gracefully in the near future, she would be an essential shoe-in for senate.  The article also mentions that her eminent departure from the race could give Bill & Hill the "opportunity to heal the rift with the black political community." 

With what Obama is willing to reimburse her, she could buy the white house! At this point, I don't understand why she wouldn't drop out.   More than that, I don't understand how Hillary is so okay with her failures--- where's the inferiority complex? Where is this confidence coming from?  You lose mad primaries and you're made fun of on the daily and you just kind of lie nonchalantly lie to the American people on occasion; how are you still so peppy and annoying and in the presidential race? If I had Hill's cell number I would text her and ask her all of the aforementioned.  

May 30th

It's very hard to articulate my feelings on the upcoming Sex And The City movie.  I'll quote Oprah, "this is more than just a movie-- this is an event!"   She's not kidding.  I'm not coming to school on the day of May 30th, and I may even take the 29th off just to energize for what will be the most gratifying experience of 2008.   Here are some reasons why this movie is going to be amazing:

1. There are eighty different costume changes.

2. Jennifer Hudson plays Carrie's assistant, and who -other than the New York Times film critic- didn't like Dream Girls?

3. Carrie is still making her stupid-hardly-funny-almost-annoying-yet-ultimately-endearing punns, as is evident from the movie trailer.

4. Miranda's hair is looking better than ever.

5. The movie has been getting amazing reviews so far.  Oprah guaranteed the general public on last Friday's show that the movie would not disappoint, and I have a lot of respect for big O's opinions.

Carrie Bradshaw once said, when you're tired you take a nap-a, you don't move to Napa.  And with that, I'm off to do the former.

The New York Times Style Section

I am a huge fan of the New York Times Style section.   It's the only part of the New York Times that I don't consider a chore to read (with the exception of the arts section on most Fridays).  Yet, I have started to notice more and more articles in the style section about things not pertaining to style.   For instance, this week the headlining article is called "I Know What You Did Last Math Class."  It talks about a new online portal where parents can keep track of their kids grades.   In what world do people who want to read a commentary about the new line by Dior CARE about how to covertly retrieve their kids grades?
