my parents. Cheesy I know, but they have been the one constant, stable people in my life. I never have to question how we stand. Today, we went over to a family friend's lunch Thanksgiving gathering, and our interaction is simply amazing. I guess it's hard to really compare your family to others, but I feel like I have the best parents I could ever ask for. They're loving, supportive, and it's always fun to be. Even if I'm in a bad mood, they always seem to raise it up. So I guess this is as good as time as any to thank them for being my parents, even if it's on an online blog.

Since I'm sooo bored, this will be a reference to myself and others who are fellow TV junkies:
(Note: this is not an exhaustive list, just selected shows that I am interested in.  Also Note: I posted this on Facebook's new note thing, just experimenting with something new)

In order of premiere date:

Sun, Aug 27th
6 pm - Emmy (NBC): an award show for TV actors & actresses, but most importantly a showcase of who's wearing who and what

Thurs, Aug 31st
6pm - Video Music Award (MTV): all your favorite artists will be there, including performances by Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, The Killers, Panic at the Disco, Pharrell, The All-American Rejects, TI, and The Raconteurs.
7pm - Duets (FOX): professional singers and their partners (regular ppl) perform together and let the audience decide who's the best. Simon Cowell is the executive produce.

Tues, Sept 5th
8pm - House (FOX): the third season of Dr. Greg House who tells it like it is . I watched a couple of episodes and I do have to say it's medically graphic but the main character is definitely a love/hate.

Tues, Sept 12th

Thurs, Sept 21st
8pm - Grey's Anatomy (ABC): no description needed - McDreamy or McVet?

Mon, Sept 25th
7pm - Gilmore Girls

Thurs, Sept  28th

I'm probably going to catch all the premieres, but will limit myself to no more than 3 shows.

After ten years living in St. Louis, I thought that I have been suburbanized. 

Boy, was I wrong.

I love the city.  Walking around Georgetown is amazing.  Although small and cramped together, the houses are amazingly beautiful.  The history behind everything is astounding.  Then when I go to work at the capital, the atmosphere is so fast-paced and dynamic that I enjoy every second of it.  Wearing my business attire among the crowd feels like I'm finally home. 

Clubbing in the city is awesome!  Clubbing back home is more like hanging out with friends.  But it is real clubbin' here.  Great music, awesome lights, and well-dressed guys.  So far, Fur is the best.  LL Cool J was supposed to make an appearance, but never showed up.  Nevertheless, we all had a great time. 

I am indeed still a city girl at heart. :)
