if you're gonna do it, do it right

that's the family motto when it comes to vacations :) but it sure is exhausting to travel between Boston/Washington DC/New York/Los Angeles within 3 days :| i forgot to take my "superpower" multivitamins and got the stinkiest cold ever. i swear those multivitamins are magical - they could singlehandedly cure the entire planet of their ills if taken once a day (and not left at home). simple colds at the very least...

today i did not very much at all but made a mercy dash to Target, ate 2 pieces of (mailed from Britain) Toastie with marmalade and downloaded 28 gigabytes of pictures. is it possible to have jet lag going from EST to PST....? surely not?

i did have to catch up on some Real Housewives because i am so very behind :) i hate that new woman! i don't know who she is but i am on the nasal-y cook's side all the way. she makes Ramona look like Mother Teresa for heaven's sake... go away! on second thoughts, stay... i love trouble :)

is it just a huge coincidence that all these songs on my playlist last 3:33 minutes....? or is it some really well known music factoid and not a coincidence at all, like all TV phone numbers being 555-1212?

• scary monsters - david bowie
• disturbance at the heron house - rem
