so go on and fly, boy

I felt that it was only fair to update you on my life, because I'm sure you've been dying to know just how much of nothing I've been doing.
Fine, I'll spare you the details if you insist, and move on to more important topics, such as:
If you haven't seen 'The Philadelphia Story,' I suggest you rent it asap (for one of those stay-in nights) and I suggest watching it alone to get the full effect/humor of great dialogue on high society. I watched it with people once, and when you get distracted (especially if it's your first time seeing it) it doesn't make any sense. Subtle humor, gotta love it...and Grant, Hepburn, and Stewart are brilliant at it. And if nothing else, Jimmy Stewart's drunk scene is well worth the rent....I think he won an Oscar for this role (for good reason).
Anyway, just had to rave about it for a bit; I watched it the other day after a long dry spell, and it's just as fabulous.
Speaking of 'high society,' I thought reality series were ridiculous enough as they were.....until 'I Want To Be A Hilton' reared its ugly, platinum blonde, botox-ed head via Kathy Hilton. It's hilarious, albeit unintentionally. I won't do the ridiculousness
justice by describing it here, you'll just have to watch for yourself. The show should be dubbed 'I Want To Be A Complete Tool (on national tv for all the world to see)' Frankly, it's embarrassing to watch.
Maybe that's what I'll do this summer, start a reality show of my own. 'A Day In The Life of A Human Vegetable,' where you get voted off the couch if you're too physically/mentally/emotionally active. Mike was going to document all of our Alaska escapades but...that will have to wait until next summer, booo.
And...that being said, I'll leave you with un petit list of people I'm thinking of...you'll know who you are.

1. I was looking at prom pictures and there's one of you standing under a McDonalds sign with happy hands, another one of us looking out the cable car windows as we head to Roosevelt Island at 6 in the morning...good times.
2. Haven't spoken to you in a while, I bet you're missing Comfort
3. I'm in the mood for a strawberry "mojo" (is the 'j' an 'h' sound??)
4. You used to remind me of Jimmy Stewart a little bit, I don't know if that's good or bad. Doesn't matter a
nymore.
5. There's an itty bitty picture of Hayden in this month's Vogue...you're permanently linked with him in my mind...cheap trash.
6. 'Sweet Melissa' makes me think of you
7. How about another trip to Oz, the magical diner that reeks of bathroom cleaning fluids?
8. I feel like I've become a reservation for you...but the way you asked was endearing
9. I don't wanna be a solider, mama
10. A pet goat....interesting. Bring the shotglass I got for you, I'll bring the one you got for me...we'll make good use of them, no doubt.

P.S - This is why my love for Johnny Depp is infinite; he channeled Keith Richards as his muse for Jack Sparrow in 'Pirates,' and apparently he's going for the Anna Wintour look as Wonka (i.e. short bob and oversized glasses)
...amazing.
