TV Dinners

Tonight has been painful. I cooked for my family. Chicken chili. Josh would laugh at me, because he says the only food I make is Mexican food. And I can't seem to help but prove him right every time I cook. Its just that the extreme yuminess of Mexican food is only equaled by the ease of cooking it.

In any case. The cooking surprisingly started out relatively chaos free with the cornbread. As chaos free as me cooking ever is...I am good at making things taste good, I just don't have as much prowess with not making a huge mess. It went downhill as soon as the onions came out though. Halfway through dicing them I realized that I had forgotten my signature onion-cutting swimming goggles, and I paid for the oversight by nearly going blind from the burning. I could hardly see through my tears and when I attempted to refocus myself with a sip of coffee. Unfortunately I grabbed the can of beans instead, and in the process of nearly slicing my lip on the can edge I knocked over my actual cup of coffee. I most sad about the flavored creamer stuff that was in the coffee that got wasted. I use over three times the recommended serving of it, so I blow through those delicious little bottles of coffee creamer. Anyway, the chili was good, but my eyes still feel sore, and my fingers have cuts on them that are still stinging from lime juice.

Oh, and the Hills. That show seriously drives me crazy. It has enough drama in one episode to fill an entire Shakespeare festival. The only thing is that the episodes are really only 20 minutes which is way too short to have to wait a week to watch it. And seriously it actually makes me angry to watch it. I see the worst traits of myself in all the girl characters. Audrina going back to Justin because she is addicted to him even though he treats her horribly. I'm not doing that at this point in my life or anything, but I definitely have that tendency in my personality. And then there's Lauren who accidentally creates drama very easily. Heidi who really just changed horribly in terms of looks and personality. Brody, who is totally a guy that I would fall for if I were Lauren. And the rest of the guys all suck. I don't know if that is a reflection on LA guys, rich guys, or guys in general. But this show really makes guys look bad. They are all manipulative assholes, and the majority of them have made girls cry on purpose and laughed at them afterwards. Why are some guys such assholes. Girls can be awful too, I know. But I feel like there are actually a lot of guys in the world who are emotionally mute enough to actually enjoy hurting girls' feelings when they are mad...or who are immature and vengeful enough to act like they enjoy it when they have broken someone down. Why is that?

Anyway, it is painfully obvious that I put waaaay too much thought into reality tv. Right now is really just a "living vicariously" point in my life, because nothing much is going on.
