Silly things on TV

So quick update on our lives:

The weekend in California was super great.

I apologize to anyone out there with small children but my niece is the cutest two year old in the world.

The last week at work has been very hectic. As I come closer to the end of my internship (2 weeks now). So it’s really good that Uri is in Mexico. You can check out how he’s doing on Facebook, He has 2 albums there – one from Mexico City, and the other from the Aztec pyramids (I think it’s Aztec). A couple of days ago the left Mexico City for Puerto Escondido and last I heard, they were in San Cristobal.

This weekend, my first one completely alone, I went up to Boston and had really good dim sum in Boston’s Chinatown. I wasn’t expecting this, but the dims sum at China Pearl was better than any dim sum I’ve had in New York, both in terms of taste, and in the variety. I also went to the harbor to see the tall ships that are showing there now. Unfortunately, none of them were sailing, so it wasn’t that impressive – oh well.

Another change in my life is that the room I’m staying in at the B&B is slowly being fixed up. When I got back from California the “living room” had a desk and a TV in it. So – confections of a TV-holic here, the TV is open most of the time. What can I say, it’s not that I necessarily watch TV all the time, but I like having the voices in the background. Would I be more productive if it wasn’t on? Probably. I would defiantly read more books – but it’s only the first week, so give me a break! But since it is constantly on, I’ve managed to catch, either through “coming soon” commercials or in actuality, some really strange TV shows.

One is “Dance Your Ass Off” – a reality TV competition that combines “So you thing you can dance?” with “The biggest loser”.

The second is “Drop Dead Diva” – a show about a model that dies and comes back as a workaholic, overweight lawyer.

It’s right up there with a show that Uri caught a while back while flipping through channels named “My big fat red-neck wedding”, a reality show hosted by Tom Arnold, that follows red neck couples as they put together their hideous weddings.
