abs, neighbors, and weapons of mass destruction

i will spare you all of my usual flowery language and get down to the business of updating you on my wildly entertaining life. by the way, i love how jules is all like "nothing's going on... just, you know, taking the LSAT and applying to law school and looking for a new job and traveling the world." that's amazing, fool! i'll show you uneventful.

the most riveting thing that has happened to me since i last posted was my discovery of youtube workout videos last week. just fifteen minutes a day gets you the illusion of a flatter tummy, and for free!  why didn't i think of this before? i highly recommend nicole from sparkpeople.com because 1) she's not some oily guy yelling euphomisms at you from the top of his lungs while he looks into a mirror behind the cameraman, 2) there's neither 80s music nor pastel colored leotards, and 3) nicole herself is relatively average; if you don't get a six-pack then you can at least strive for looking more muscular than her. 

the second most riveting thing was that freaking tom cruise clip. if i could put that on my ipod and listen to it every morning on the way to work, i would.

what else? oh, we have new downstairs neighbors! nora and i went to their housewarming party saturday and they're really great. that they even had a housewarming party already makes them better than their predecessors, and from what we could tell they are not batshit crazy either. although, random people at the party were asking us if we walked around in high heels, and being that the party music was hella loud that whole night, they must have been referring to the hosts' previous complaints. whatever, no trash cans in my parking space amounts to them being alright with me.

also i've been studying for the GRE off and on. but mostly i just get frustrated with my job and swear at psychologists like they killed jesus. if i go through all this and still don't get into grad school, i'm selling out COMPLETELY. there will be no half-assing it: no letter of congratulations come april 2nd, 2009 and my resume goes straight to lockheed martin.
