So, I'm supposed to be writing a CV and all, but it's scary and hard. (SO MUCH PRESSURE I might EXPLODE).

I feel I should alert you to something, as my blog readership. I've often mentioned the inferiority of hot chocolate mix to the addition of cocoa and sugar to milk, but this is a lot of work now that I don't have a microwave, so the next best thing is the rather expensive but wholly delicious (and liberal guilt-assuaging) Cocoa Camino. It comes in a dark-chocolate variety, which is sweet, but has the bitterness of actual cocoa underlying it.

This recommendation is hearty.

On a totally different note, shouldn't "Video on Trial" be a way better show? How hard is it to find half-way intelligent people to mock music videos? (How hard is it to dissect the inherent sexism in "My Humps."*?)

Remind me, why is that song an actual hit? Why would any self-respecting woman allow herself to be shown publicly singing those lyrics? "I will force you to do things with my body, because I am woman, and my only power is my sexuality."

Ugh, I'm so cranky. I feel like a post-feminist Andy Rooney.

PS I kind of have a sort-of internet connection at home again, so if you wanted to start checking my blog more frequently, it might actually be rewarded.
