I was doing so well with going to bed at a regular time and waking up early-ish. But now I am wide awake!!!!! Not even running and dancing after work has pooped me out. I guess I did not work myself hard enough. Or maybe I'm too hungry. I just ate a bowl of Cranberry Almond Crunch. After dancing in my living room, I wasn't even hungry, and I barely ate. I couldn't tell if my neighbour was watching me dance while he was on the phone. I think I am finally gaining some strength. I watched Grey's Anatomy last night. It wasn't a bad show. I am just a huge fan of Sandra Oh. Her roles are always so varied. She's been a stripper, a runaway, a porn star, a winery employee...hmm..what else...oh, now she is a scrub at a hospital. She was also in my favourite move, Double Happiness. Speaking of that particular movie, when I volunteered for that Korean film screening, Mina Shum attended. I couldn't figure out where I had seen her from, but she wrote Double Happiness. Back to Grey's Anatomy (It's about a bunch of whatchamacallit newbies at a hospital in Seattle, WA, USA)...one of the smaller plots for this episode was this Chinese woman and her daughter being hurt and in need of medical attention. First the woman was in the hospital, and could not speak a word of English. In fact, all she spoke was Cantonese (no subtitles for this show)...repeating herself. She said her daughter was hurt and had a gash on her head, and why wouldn't someone help her. Her daughter was all she had, she claimed. So the doctor, not able to find a translator, (but knew this woman was Chinese) stitched up this woman and sent her on her way. THen the woman came back and pleaded with the doctor, saying stuff about her doctor. So the doctor followed her out to some shady area and found out the daughter needed stitches to her head. The kicker was that the mother had a green card but the daughter did not and wouldn't go to the hospital. The daughter knew some English, but her fake accent was horrible. After the doctor snuck some supplies from the hospital and stitched up the girl, the mother thanked the doctor in Cantonese profusely. I just did not understand why the mother just kept repeating herself in Chinese (did the writers of the show just tell her to say whatever?). The things she was saying was silly. Why wouldn't the mother try to communicate with hand gestures or anything else? Doodles? Or find someone to speak for her? This is Seattle...Chinese people aren't difficult to find. Even her daughter could have written a note or something. Instead, the mom fretted for hours pacing and sitting in the hospital, looking all sad, and asking why the doctor wouldn't help her daughter. Tonight, I finished reading [u]Murder List[/u] by Julie Garwood. It's a book about a woman being protected by a cop when a murder list she made for a seminar exercise becomes found by some psycho, and the people on her list start dying. I was expecting less romance. The beginning 3/16ths caught my attention because there was suspense and thrill. Then the middle 9/16ths was all romance and the building of passion. Then last 1/4 seemed a rush to tie all the loose ends together. The blurb on the back of the book was definitely misleading. And this book was New York Times bestseller?? Why?! If I wanted romance, I would have picked up a Harlequin, which by the way...I used to read when I was in junior high. Oh yeah...today I emailed James back. I used to just call him J in my blogs. I guess nowadays, he'd have been the J Man. I hope it wasn't a mistake to email him, and I hope the lack of contact between us has been long enough. And in my desperation to find someone to take my concert ticket, I also emailed Chris. I got really pissed off at him and told him I had no desire to speak to him again months ago right when I thought I could handle having a friendship with him. I wonder if he is seeing anyone, or if he ever met his Internet love. Anyway, I think he said he would go. I guess I will email him back. |

Come on, Rosie -- since when did TV Shows have any validity? ;)

*L* Good point...TV shows should take you away from reality, but when they try to make shows realistic, there is a bit of a gap.
