Diatribe for the Unknown

This is Hilary Duff reporting...

Yesterday around 5:30pm I had the best realization during class. But today, I can’t remember it. How does that happen? I’m frustrated at my lack of memory.

So instead I leave you with this question, and hopefully you can answer it for me…

When the Euro-Americans first came to the “New World”, they brought along with them, their accent. Some of the first immigrants here were the English, the French, and the Spanish. Now if we have colonies of people from Europe, don’t you think that the accent would have stayed intact? Shouldn’t the New Englanders have some sort of European accent? Is the Arlington/Medford/Southie/Boston accent some sort of twisted evolutionary accent from those first days when the Euro-Americans first stepped on this land?

Maybe the combination of all sorts of immigrants kind of transcends any sort of accent. Maybe I’ll consider that my thesis…

3rd hand smoke?

Today’s Pick-Me-Up: Half a grapefruit slathered in sugar.

A couple of minutes ago, I just ate the most magnificent grapefruit in the building and it was mighty yummy. So it is my suggestion to you today: if you have a chance, go get a ginormous grapefruit because you won’t regret it. What made mine even more special was that it didn’t spit at me…unless it plans to do so from the trashcan in which case…BLAST!

I’m sure you are asking yourself, wow, what is bringing on this sudden postage-ness from Rhi?
The answer: The fact that I need some sort of outlet in the middle of the day to just think about something besides work or school pretty much explains it. I like having about 15 minutes of not-so-free time to be creative, to not have to freak out about some deadline or homework assignment I need to finish before the hour strikes. My sanity is the only option I have left. I just ate my other option.

I sat through a 3 hour meeting today - which I secretly enjoyed. This is due to the mindset I had going in to the meeting - I don’t have to say a thing, I just need to observe. I have been tagged the newbie so as of right now I’m just learning the ropes. Nothing has been demanded of me just yet…

Today’s Put-Me-Down: Second Hand Tea (tastes more bitter but maybe not so much of a put-me-down since it helps my health out rather than sending me down the “cancer” path). So let me redo that...

Today's Put-Me-Down: Last episode of the OC ever.

No Child Left Behind

I’m rather excited to see if the bastard child of Tom Brady will be cute or not. My money is on not cute since both the mother and father are pretty hot – the child’s odds drastically decrease in terms of cuteness. Take the Beckham children for example. When they are with the world’s hottest couple, they don’t stand a chance. And their non-cuteness doesn’t help either. I’m telling you the mixture of hot genes among baby makers, for some reason causes a bad reaction. Some other examples of mediocre looking babies – Gwyneth Paltrow’s Apple & Courtney Cox’s Coco. Angelina Jolie realized that adoption is the way to go. You can pick and choose your own tiny cute baby and hope for the best. Some examples of kids that turned out hot because a parent was kind of ugly – Liv Tyler, Prince William, Kate Hudson. I think so far, one couple has defied the work of ugly genes by having a cute baby and that’s Gwen & Gavin’s Kingston. He’s pretty cute.

Anyway, I just thought of this after I read an article at ESPN about Tom Brady and Matt Leinart (http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=hill/070219). Looks like white male athletes are becoming the new baby’s daddy. Ack! We are evolving…

Happy Former President's Day

I had the most amazing cup of tea yesterday from Tealuxe. It was so good that I wanted my cup to be an endless stream of goodness. If you are a green tea person I suggest you try Dragon Pearl Jasmine. BUT I just looked up the Tealuxe website and see they only have 3 locations - 1 on Newbury street, 1 in Harvard Square, and 1 in Rhode Island...that doesn't help those that never travel to those areas. BUT if you know of a tea shop nearby, see if they have it. I guarantee that you will enjoy it, if not then there is something wrong with you!

I finally got my haircut this weekend, it was one big weed that was getting out of control. Luckily my lovely hair stylist tamed it quite well. Now I can wear my hair down with minimum annoyance.

I’m sure you want updates.

Work is good. School is good. My shoes are good. My hair is good. The weather is somewhat good, I was excited to get some snow but sad that it immediately turned to ice. I fell a couple times on ventures outside but nothing to cause serious alarm.

A couple things I want to note.

1. Britney Spears looks in with a shaved head.
2. I have a new fascination with scarves. I now have a collection that exceeds 5. I plan on making some out of old clothes I throw away.
3. Drama will always be in my life even when I try to avoid by staying busy.
4. I hate online classes. Especially when the teachers are not sympathetic.

I have an addiction to junk food and I need to stop. If I don’t there is a possibility I will really become a beached whale.
