I aimlessly flipped through my sister's December '09 issue of Allure. Might as well reaquaint myself with the desperate and dicey sides of life, I figured.
I was stunned to find this.
Remember when "Hit Me Baby One More Time" came out and I liked it? Remember when she reigned the pop kingdom? This ad is evidence of a has-been. Why do entertainers keep trying to rebrand themselves? Everything about this photo is wrong. The name of the perfume, "Circus Fantasy." So, am I going to smell like a herd of elephants if I use this perfume? Is a calliope included in the packaging? Is there a free bonus offer for tickets to Ringling Brothers: Barnum and Bailey?
The world is much more pathetic after you've been out of it for 18 months. People's desperate attempts are petty, laughable and pathetic. Misdirected and ineffective. I gotta hand it to 'em for trying though. Especially the writer of that ad. They almost had me smelling the funnel cake.
Today I am updating my resume, putting together portfolios and looking for jobs. Wow! I pray that your prayers will be with me.
My homecoming talk went well, I guess. I honestly felt it was the worst talk I've ever given, but everyone in the congregation said it pretty much changed their lives. Yep, that's what He does for us.

Boy, I've missed you. Welcome, welcome, welcome back, dear.
Ditto :)
I don't know. I find myself secretly rooting for Brittany Spears from time to time.
