i know, i know, everybody is totally sick to death of hearing about paris hilton – in jail, out of jail, back in jail, and then skipping to freedom. but i walked into my sister’s salon a few minutes ago and one girl was getting her hair done while her sister or friend was waiting for her, and the one girl said PARIS GOT A MAKEOVER! IN JAIL! and then they discussed the fact that if they were in jail, they wouldn’t get any makeovers at all.
i’ve always been a little mystified by the brand that is paris hilton. she wasn’t anywhere (or maybe she was just a child growing up) and then suddenly she was PARIS HILTON, but she didn’t seem to do anything to justify all the celebrity. young and cute and very very rich plus she must have a great publicist. but wait, wasn’t it the publicist who told her it was ok to drive with a suspended license?
anyway, while i’ve been sick, i’ve had more time than usual to peruse the news online. and yeah, paris is just about celebrity for the sake of celebrity, but at least it’s a relief to read about her instead of, say, dick cheney. and the war. and in there paper, there’s one story after another about everything depressing – murders and fatal car crashes and bad people running amock all over the place.
i can’t remember when i’ve been so sick for so long, and it doesn’t agree with me. this week most of the physical things have abated, but i still seem to have no energy at all. this typing right now seems like a burden. I WANT SOMETHING CHEERFUL TO READ ABOUT, DAMMIT.
we bought a couple of DVDs the other day – a compilation of “south park,” and “the good sheperd.” my choice was south park. but then we went home and watched the Goood S. IT WAS NOT CHEERFUL. it was depressing and dreary and went on and on not to mention the fact that all kinds of things happened in it that i couldn’t figure out and i JUST WANT TO LAUGH ABOUT SOMETHING. or at least smile.
it makes me smile that paris hilton skipped when she got out of jail. i wholeheartedly believe in skipping. skipping is fun. when my energy returns, i, too, will skip.
ok then,
grace.
