Non Fat Process Cheese Product

Hmm. What is this?

This product was purchased and brought into my home with my consent, but not with my approval. I just don't understand what this product is? I did not eat it, but I have eaten it in the past. I recall that it does not have a lot of flavor. In fact the plastic wrap probably has more flavor. I'm not sure if it is the consistency, but something about it is frighteningly similar to plastic. Although unlike plastic this cheese product as I remember does not melt. Well, there must have been some scientific advances recently because I was told that it did melt after some considerable microwaving. Something about microwaving a non fat process cheese product single to the point that it melts makes me feel cancerous inside. I was also told that when it gets on your hands, its hard to get off. I suspect this product is 1 or 2 molecules away from vaseline.

Lets look on the bright side. It is fat free so you can eat as much of it as you want. The other good thing is that you probably don't want much of it.

Necking

When I walk to work I hear a lot of bits of conversations. Most are boring work stuff, which can be entertaining if I walk in front of the same people for a few blocks. Most of the time it's the same conversation but different people are having it, complaining about people at work.

Today I heard one bit of one half of a conversation that made me chuckle. It was a young lady, I'm guessing in her mid to low 20's. She was on the phone. This was all I heard.

"I didn't see him, but I did see Biden...Biden and his wife. I didn't like her dress at all!"

She pronounced Biden like Bidden as in forbidden. You should go back and read the sentence again using her pronunciation. So this girl has clearly seen some coverage of these events, but some how missed the proper pronunciation of our Vice President, whose name has probably been said over 1,000 times in the last couple of days.

The best conversation I ever heard was between two older men. I would say in their late 50's maybe early 60's. This was all I heard.

Man#1 "Were they necking?"
Man#2 "Necking and a lot more!"

Hail to the Chief

I was fortunate enough to be home for the inauguration of our new president. How exciting! It really makes you think when he says stuff like "a man whose father less than sixty years ago might not have been served at a local restaurant can now stand before you to take a most sacred oath."

But seriously watching all the clips, it has to be weird for him. I really have been drawn to the saluting. I mean do you think he practiced his salute. He must have. One day nobody is saluting and the next day you are getting salutes from all angles. I picture him with Michelle practicing saying "Is this right? Does this look good? Is my elbow to high? Should my fingers be on my forehead or more at my eyebrow?"

And how about the Bible Biden used to be sworn in. Holy Moly!

La-MAY

It's been a good day so far. Woke up early went to practice and then to my parents to do my first tutoring session with my dad. Got home just in time for Bev Hills on SoapNet. I am on my third episode.

Hillary and I learned a new word today. At practice one of the men stopped by our lane on his way out to chat. I can't remember how it came up but his daughter has started saying "la-may" instead of lame. I think his daughter is in junior high. I love teenagers. I can't wait to start using lamay at work. I am sure it will be a big hit.

I am so lamay, I don't want to do anything today.

It's a start

I have an unnatural obsession with Beverly Hills, 90210. Luckily for you I will not be writing about that...at least not all the time. I can quit cold turkey and I have done it but as soon as I see a glimpse of one episode I get hooked all over again. Then I start watching the episodes on my DVR in order. I start to panic if I think one might have been deleted before I have watched it. Even though I have seen every episode a bazillion times. I just love it.

The other day my friend was talking about an issue she was dealing with regarding plagiarism and her students. I was thinking in my head, "Oh that happened to Brandon and Steve, maybe I should tell her how it all worked out. It could be helpful." I refrained. I do realize it is not real life and people may think I'm crazy if I try to solve real problems with episodes of Bev Hills.

I got a rowing machine for Christmas. I am really enjoying it as a supplemental workout option (I swim 3 days a week). Its pretty quiet but you have to put the TV on kind of loud to hear it while you are rowing. Since I have been doing it in the morning and don't want to wake people up, I just pop on a Bev Hills. I don't need to hear it since I have seen every episode one million times. It's amazing. I thought it wouldn't bring the same joy without the audio, but it does.

As I'm sure you know they came out with a new 90210. It's fine. I watch it, but not with the same love in my heart as the original. Sometimes at lunch we discuss TV shows and the topic of the new 90210 came up. People were bad mouthing some of the original actors and actresses for not wanting to make cameos. I can just feel my blood pressure rise when others talk badly about them, even though I agree with what they are saying. Its like when someone makes fun of your family. You may agree with what they are saying but only you are aloud talk about your family that way.
