So, first of all, my horoscope for today says that I am highly attracted to the opposite sex today... and they are attracted to me. Just my luck, huh? It's still spring break and no one is around. Oh well, maybe this will carry over into St. Patrick's Day. I could have plans... I don't really know yet.

This day has just been weird. I woke up from a dream about Stephen Colbert and for the life of me cannot remember what it was about. Then, when I was making a peanut-butter melty fudge concoction, the smell of laundry detergent on my sweater plus the peanut butter gave the most amazing smell... but it made me think of the way new babies smell after a bath. Strange, right? I think I'm going insane. I need my roommate back!!!

To top it all off, I was watching the second episode of the third season of Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, and I started crying. Barely a whole tear, but still it was crying. Go figure!

Babysitting hasn’t been the big chore that everyone has made it out to be. Then again, I do have good help and a decently behaved child to look after. It’s being home that’s getting me. Its’ not really home, you know? I’ve grown out of calling my parents’ house home. It’s sad, but I’m over it.
The more and more I watch Lois and Clark, the weirder dreams I keep having. I won’t go into detail, but they are things that I do not want my subconscious thinking about. My conscious will never forgive it. But it’s good that I finished season 2, because I’m ready and raring to go when I can get my hands on seasons 3 and 4.
I’ve been seriously thinking about going to Japan. I don’t think anyone else that’s heard about it thinks I can do it. They think that I won’t adjust to the culture shock and that I’ll run home at the first sign of tears longing for home. I think I’ve grown out of that stage in my life. For the first two years of college, I got extremely homesick the first week of classes, but no one knew it. But it doesn’t matter what anyone thinks unless I’m actually given a job, and we all know my wonderful track record with job interviews. I still try to think positive though. Just because I’m nearly broke with no job and one more semester of college left doesn’t mean my spirits are broken. I’ll get by, just like everyone else, somehow.
My plan is to have a plan by the end of the year. It shouldn’t be too hard. I’m exploring options. What I really feel like doing is taking a year to cover the United States and see everything. Only thing is, the USA is not like Europe. There’s no backpacking in this country. Public transportation is very localized and I don’t think I would be able to get everywhere that I wanted to see. I’ll share a secret. My secret ambition is to travel the United States taking nature photographs. The downside is if I couldn’t sell them then I couldn’t eat—or get anywhere. See? Plans. All I need are a few solid plans. Any suggestions for a girl with no money, no car—just a dream of being a big time something-or-other?

Guess what? I'm REALLY into Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. Bet you didn't think i was going to blog about that, now did you? I don't know. I haven't seen it since its original run in the early 90s. Then, I was eight or nine and I was just fascinated by Superman... and the romantic spark between him and Lois, of course.



Watching it the second time through, however (through courtesy of Debbie's DVD set), I'm noticing more and more cheese. The special effects, though I never need them in a good story, are just not up to par. And the lines about Clark being "Super" or the like is just silly (I must mention the Sonny Bono appearance was the all-time cheese low of the season one set... and I'm not even done watching it yet!). But what bothers me most is that glasses on or glasses off, the whole city of Metropolis must be... "special" to put it nicely. Clark is Superman. It's not hard to tell, folks. But then again, maybe that was the intrigue for me in my wonder years. I wanted to know if and when Lois was finally going to see that they were one and the same. I don't know what it is that's bringing me back to it either. The romantic chemistry is fascinating. But other than that, everything makes me laugh. But I still enjoy the experience of watching it. I guess you can tell it's a boring summer.
