Found out that author and journalist Michelle Malkin has a blog! She posted about the Amish show as well, so here’s a link to her post. Interesting thoughts.  Just wanted to share.

I have NEVER been a fan of reality television, and this new show does not sway my opinion one bit. In fact, this only solidifies in my mind the general uselessness of television in one’s daily life.

This is not the worst show I’ve heard about, however…ones about trading spouses, or having the kids pick their dad’s new wife are far worse in my opinion…but WHY on earth would you put 6 Amish teenagers in HOLLYWOOD? I mean, of all places…and why are people entertained by that? I cannot imagine what the Amish community is going to think about this. After spending two summers in Pennsylvania, an hour from “Amish Country”, I have a GREAT deal of respect for these people. I’d encourage you all to learn more about them and their lifestyle–I was amazed!

I seriously grow more tired of reality TV as time goes on…I have never watched Survivor, only seen a few American Idols (and I hate the name of that show…),  and one or two Joe Millionaires–and only because my roommates were watching them.

What’s the point?

America needs to get over this obsession with other people’s lives real quick…well, actually, I guess it doesn’t matter, because I don’t have to watch any of the shows.  I just strongly believe that there are better things to do with your time, than to watch shows that are really about nothing. Think about all the time you spend in front of the television, when you could be doing things of greater value? Amazing…I think I heard that the average American spends 10 hours a week watching TV…WHY?!

Anyway, off my soap box for the day. This post will probably stir some controversy, so bring on the comments. 🙂

I originally planned on venting about my day on my blog…but, I have decided that no one really wants to hear about the excessive amount of “stupid” people with whom I came into contact today. Think Bill Engvall’s comedy routine about giving stupid people a sign…I’m all for that! (I’m sure I’d have one too!) So that’s all I will say.

Most of today was spent at church, decorating for VBS. It was fun. I made Mt. Fuji on the wall (I’ll post pictures next week) of the sanctuary, as well as sky, cherry blossom trees (or whatever they are). My room will be decorated like a Japanese house tomorrow after church. Tonight I’ll be making nametags and learning the music for the week. 🙂 Nothing like procrastinating.

Wow, there is really nothing “exciting” to post about today…I did have In-N-Out today, compliments of the church. That was awesome! It’s been a while since I had that.

I know that the Lord is going to work next week, it’s just hard to see it now, in the preparation stages, amidst the disorganization (which drives me nuts) and other issues. But, I trust that HE will work through me in my time of “weakness”,  because it is then that we are strongest.

God is good…all the time…

Let’s go back in time to 2001…the year when California realized they didn’t have enough electricity for the demands of the state’s users. So, we bought more energy from out-of-state providers (instead of fixing the power plants that we had, that Gray Davis had taken “off-line” beacuse we “didn’t need them”), paying more for the power than we were bringing in from the energy-users…helping to put us over $30 billion in debt.

Well, it looks like California is running out of electricity again…and though they are saying that blackouts are unlikely, I have to wonder…where on earth are they going to get the power?

Thankfully, I live in Los Angeles County, which in 2001 gained exemption from the blackouts because of all that goes on down here. I lived in Nor Cal at the time of the last blackouts, and definitely experienced them, during 110+ degree summers. Yeah, L.A. complains WAY too much about things!

Anyway, just wanted to share this news, if any of you are interested. It will be interesting to see what happens.

Good morning!

Well, it’s official: my wisdom teeth will be extracted on August 30th at 1pm. My “caretaker” will be here from August 29-September 4…really looking forward to that! I know I’ll be in good hands! We’ll conclude the week with a Nickel Creek concert at the Hollywood Bowl (they are playing with the LA Phil!), so that will be awesome. I love Nickel Creek!

Day 2 of being a morning person…today was harder than yesterday to get up, but also that can be attributed to bad allergies today (worst in the mornings).  At least my wonderful allergy medicine helps SO much!

I’ll be packing up all my stuff in the next 8 days, and moving on campus the 1st of August (hopefully). I don’t want to move yet, because I love my roommates and I love the apartment we have. However, this move will save me having to pay rent for August–which will be SO helpful. So, I’m trying to get excited about packing up and moving again…I’ve moved pretty much every 4 months for the past 2 years, so I’m used to it by now, but the thought of moving by myself again is not pleasant.

So, if anyone wants to come help me move, I’d welcome the assistance! 🙂 No furniture, just books, clothes, more books, computer, even more books, etc.

Busy weekend with VBS preparation…SO much to get done! But, with the Lord’s help and guidance, I can accomplish it all.

The highway pictured is the one my family took (in a 6 car caravan) to get to Angels Camp two weeks ago. It was SUCH a great drive! Beautiful terrain, awesome driving experience.
