Octuplet lady

I was going to post a rant earlier on how nuts this woman is, but now I think the whole thing has been entirely too discussed already. She's crazy and irresponsible; let's all move on now.

In other news, I am no longer (as) sick. The flu is gone, which is fabulous, but it has left a sinus infection and an asthma flare-up in its wake. TMI? Oh well. I am quite used to this stuff as it happens every time I have a cold, so I'm just submitting to the antibiotics and steroids as usual. No biggie.

I am trying to do massive amounts of laundry this week in preparation for New York on Thursday with the orchestra and Napa Valley next Friday for spring break. I am not sure how much of it I will get done between rehearsals, working and my wind ensemble concert on Wednesday, but we'll see. It must be said that I HATE doing laundry. I am really not sure why this is, but anyone who knows me even marginally can probably tell you that I often go WAY longer than I should between loads. It just seems like such a hassle, and I put it off and put it off until it becomes an emergency situation where I have no pants and am forced to wear dresses for a week. Not that dresses are a bad thing, but still. It seems that underwear is really the limiting factor for my laundry, but luckily that is easily purchased in a pinch. Or you can go the Sarika route and just wear bikini bottoms as undies. :)

I am really excited about all the upcoming trips, and I only hope I have enough money to really enjoy them. I'm a poor lady these days! I think I will be picking up another job in the evenings soon, so that is promising. I need to make bank this summer, but somehow I foresee that not really happening. Ah, the trials and tribulations of college students.

I went to an Oscar party at Casey and Natalie's apartment tonight. It was fun to watch the ceremony and try to predict who would win. I came in second place with 14 correct predictions (the winners were Sharon and Lizzie, tied at 15 each). I am glad Slumdog Millionaire won Best Picture -- I really did think it was a lovely film. I do still want to see Milk and possibly Frost-Nixon, so I guess I can't really speak for the quality of those movies. I am just always glad to see Indian-themed movies do well here in the States. The best part of the Oscars ceremony by far was the video with James Franco (yum) and Seth Rogen. Hilarious, and a great way to showcase some of the comedies of the past year. Overall, though, the ceremony was a little draggy in parts, although that's kind of inevitable with an awards show of this length. I like Hugh Jackman, but I was not a huge fan of him hosting. Bring back John Stewart! Who can forget Gaydolf Titler from last year, now apparently the middle name of my cat according to the ladies with whom I watched.

Now it is time for me to go shower and get ready for today. Catch you cats on the flip side.
