one of the benefits of living at home is that i'm basically a retired senior citizen.. or at least i spend my free time as they do: going to trader joe's during the early afternoon, swimming in the community pool when there are (thank god) no kids around, taking walks around the neighborhood (only i can't be cute and walk around with my partner with whom i've been goin' strong since '55). but let's reflect on one of these benefits: trader joe's. i'm much too un-orange county to go on long runs or yoga classes in the early morning in skimpy spandex, so instead, i often read books or blogs when i wake up. today i browsed through the pages of what's good at trader joe's, a fantastic idea in the form of, you guessed it, trader joe's product reviews, written by an apparently very hungry and very athletic couple. naturally, after reading a few posts, i set out on an incredible journey to san clemente's trader joe's and i majestically purchased falafels, edamame, and random indian foods. and i just ate everything and it is all delicious. evidently my life is ideal and exciting beyond imagination.
major side note: awards season is upon us, and the contenders for the granddaddy of all awards shows have been released (the oscar noms for best picture consist of hugo, midnight in paris, moneyball, the tree of life, war horse, the help, the artist, the descendants, and extremely loud & incredibly close). scores of journals and papers ran stories on the academy awards nominations, but my favorite article is, no surprise here, found on the carpetbagger blog, for anyone interested in some well-written sentiments regarding the oscars '12. digression: midnight in paris was entertaining, well-filmed, and very woody allen, but it was just...cute; why did it get an oscar nomination?????
also, my mom just used the word "ridiculate" (she meant to say "ridicule").
