Sucked in Once Again by the Evil Powers of Television …

I stayed in tonight.  I’ve had sort of a long week and I have an even longer weekend ahead of me.  Tomorrow, I’m finally going to go look for a new car (don’t ask what happened to the old car … long and heartbreaking story involving a giant loss of money) in the am.  Then, have to be at Jackie Robinson Stadium in Westwood at 1:30 to see my new college player pitch.  If you’re in L.A., it’s televised.  UCLA v. Washington State.  You might see me in the stands boiling to death in the 90 degree weather we’re supposed to have tomorrow.  Look for the really sweaty girl furiously texting … that will be me.  Then, hanging out with my client and his parents for some dinner.  Home again so I can be in Ontario at 9:30 a.m. to pick up my Dad and go watch one of our high school players work out for the Marlins and then hang with him and his family for a bit.  Drive back to the airport and be home in time to tumble in my little bed and wake up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed Monday morning.  *Sigh*  So … what I should be doing right now is getting in my little Lisa bed and curling up with Colleen (teddy bear … I’m not having a gay moment).  Instead, I started watching a marathon of my new fave show “Step it Up and Dance.”  As some of you know, I used to dance professionally back in the day so shows like this are guaranteed to suck me in.  I’ve been tivoing and now have 7 episodes to watch.  I thought, “hey … I’ll just watch the first episode and then go to bed.”  Riiiiiiiiiiight.  This show is totally like crack to me.  Dancing, lots of bitchy gay men, Elizabeth Berkeley of “Saved by the Bell” and “Showgirls” fame … what the fuck else could I even ask for?  It’s like made for me.  I just watched 3 episodes in a row and feel like I simply will be unable to sleep until I figure out if the tiny Asian girl or weird Euro ballet boy will be bounced.  I have a feeling that I will be drinking about 12 Red Bulls tomorrow. 

Oh, and of course, ITunes is enticing me with its recommendations.  ITunes is an evil temptress.  Remember that song “Lady PIcture Show” by Stone Temple Pilots?  I love that song.  ITunes totally knew that.  And recommended it to me.  I think ITunes and I are dating.  ITunes is usually the first thing I go to in the morning and the last thing at night.  Very reliable.  Never lets me down.  Always there with a recommendation to pick me up.  Yep.  I think I’m madly in love with ITunes. 

Speaking of being in love … I’m still really really REALLY into this Vegas wedding idea for myself.  It’s kind of scaring me.  I’m a little nervous that I could wind up married in July.  I keep thinking about what a good time it would be.  I know marriage is supposed to be a serious commitment, yada, yada, yada and the wedding is a symbol of your love … whatever.  I totally want coked-up Elvis walking me down the aisle.  Isn’t there a way I can get “fake married”?  I’ll take any and all ideas.  Because unless you convince me otherwise, I have a feeling I will be keelhauling the nearest male into the Elvis Chapel of Love on July 18, 2008 (that’s my bday.  I’ll be registered at Tiffany). 

O.K., I’m now going to make a serious effort of think about only watching 1 more episode instead of the 4 I still have to watch.  I need some music to get me into a sleeping mood … maybe Van Morrison?  I could do a little “Into the Mystic” right now … I’m down.  Good night, all.  xoxoxo
