so, AZ is great. i am staying with my sister-in-law's parents and it is just fabulous. "so you think you can dance" has begun and this has become one of the most prominent conversation points amongst my friend network. it's that time of year again!
i'm an intern at the County Superior Court, and i've been working in criminal court the past week. what a world. the company you're with all day consists of court personnel, attorneys, judicial officers and criminals. let's just say, conversations are rather interesting.
there are only two things so far that keep my heart partial to Utah: 1) the zumba class at the Gold's gym here was... well, in the words of my brother, "zumba? was it more like dumb-a?" that may be harsh, but it was just, well. my provo instructor has set such a high standard. 2) the NPR broadcasting station (KJZZ) here plays smooth new-age jazz in between segments. ugh. i love jazz; i do not love new-age smooth jazz. and, there is a difference. my heart still belongs to KUER. even though one of the local Salt Lake talk shows can't get past an obsession with shows about Mormons and homosexuals, the station at least has cool music in between segments.
and since i'm still on the topic of media, i encountered the most, well, what word? the most disconcerting/laughable/absurd show today. i was watching CNN and flipped down the channel during commercial. and what did i see? a show called, no joke, paris hilton's new BFF. i know i'm probably a little late on realizing there was such a reality show (i don't watch MTV), but i guess that there are contestants on the show actually TRYING to BE paris hilton's new BFF. and paris hilton is actually hosting a show to GET a BFF. i. have. no. words. no words for this ridiculous superficiality. seriously, i was laughing out loud (or like, i was totally "lol-ing!"). hopefully no one has REALLY watched this show. but, honestly, it was like watching an SNL spoof on reality shows that includes so much hyperbole that it can't possibly be real and yet - this show was trying to be serious! wow. wow. i cannot even begin to describe.
okay, i sound like major nerd and major complainer - so i will just say that i love it down here. i'm babysitting my niece tonight - she is soooooo dang cute - and when you have a pool just outside the back door on a hot Phoenix day, not even paris hilton's BFF could complain.

The worst is when your roommates watch those reality shows and LIKE them. Ha. Glad you're having fun! Sorry about the smooth jazz. Yuck.
thanks again for watching emma. you're the best!! :) oh, and when you said... "what's the word"... i think the word you were looking for is actually "burn". when's it my turn?
the 'lol-ing' line made this a blogger.com instant classic. ur such a gr8 writer! seriously, i know i joke on here a lot, but you should write professionally. ten years from now when you are a busy soccer mom, i see a weekly column in your local newspaper with a very loyal following. kinda like 'Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.' you know, maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but undeniably brilliant.
love it. love you. heard of the show. i'm pretty sure my old roommates actually watched it. pa. the. tic. glad your having fun. miss you lots. utah will be glad to get you back
