US Magazine? The one with Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones on the cover. God, I can’t stand those two, and US did a huge spread on them, asking inane questions like "Does Michael ever change diapers?" "Oh, yes he does, and I’m so grateful!" Gah. Only US Magazine would consider it newsworthy that Michael Douglas is changing diapers he hasn’t been wearing.
I looked at the pictures of the two of them with their kid, and had a knee-jerk "ick" reaction. I’m not sure why – I almost like Michael Douglas when he’s by himself or in a movie, and I think Catherine Z-J is very pretty, but put the two of them together, and it makes me want to gag. Probably because of those ultra-smug smirks on both their faces. "Look at us! We’re so FAAAAABULOUS!" Look at the pictures of a barely made-up, mostly naked Catherine Z-J and a heavily made-up Michael D.! Oh, it’s just too horrid for words, people. Leave the US on the shelf this week, for the sake of your sanity.
How the heck did I ever have time to write journal entries when I was working full-time?? I’m only working about five hours a day this week, and I’m having some difficulty finding time to write. Last night, I had to come home, make dinner, do some cleaning, and spend two hours – TWO HOURS – paying bills (personal bills, these are). Actually, I do know how I found time to write – I used to write the majority of my journal entries at work, because it wasn’t like I was ever doing anything like WORKING, fer gawdsakes. This week, though, I’m actually pretty damn busy at work, trying to figure out what’s going on and get what needs to be done, done.
I need to go start dinner and then veg in front of the TV for the evening, since I took time out from my busy schedule to stop at the movie store and pick up High Fidelity and 28 Days.
I leave you with this great picture of a field of Alabama snow:
