Reflections…

…on some pretty faces.  As I was sitting in the dark last night in my recliner falling deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole of the interweb, I came across this.  I’d often wondered what ever happened the Top Models of the past, and this answered all of my questions…well not all of them, I still have absolutely NO clue why Michelle, the one with the skin issues from Cycle 4, who likes girls, just had a baby and is marrying Johnny Fairplay.  I don’t know what reality show he’s from, but I’ve heard his name before, so he must be HUGE.  Anyway, it was fun to catch up with everyone and with the premiere of Cycle Decade tomorrow at 7p on The CW Austin, Cable Channel 12, to be exact, I thought it was more than appropriate to share.

 Sooo, what did you guys think of PCD: Girlicious?  Could you rock a wheelchair?  Who’s in it to win it?

There’s a show starting next Tuesday at 9 called quarterlife on KXAN.  There are two things that make me want to watch this show. The first one is that it’s by the same folks who did thirtysomething and My So-Called Life.  The second is that while I was living in New York, I had a bit of a “quarterlife crisis”.  I only know what it’s called because there’s a whole book about it, with the same title.  I was convinced that this book was going to make all my doubts, worries and problems go away…and it might have, but I never got past the first chapter.  Every time I would get a few pages in, I would get all moody and dramatic.  My friend Colleen started to notice the pattern:  quarterlife crisis laying open on the table=Amber in a funk.  Therefore, she would hide the book or completely remove it from my apartment.  I would only get it back if I promised that I would not end up laying on the floor listening to the Felicity soundtracks.  I had the best intentions, but she had to keep taking the book away.

Today is a different day.  Not because my life is stable, because nothing about my current state resembles stability in any way, but because I can read the book again, without the fear of Colleen sneaking it under the couch (unless she’d like to come visit me to do it…I’m totally open to that, maybe this post is a cry for help to Coll…will she hear me?) AND maybe more importantly watch fictional characters acting out what I can only hope will be problems very similar to mine.  I will take notes and act accordingly.  Coincidentally enough, I know there’s a blogging character on the show, so maybe I’ll take notes on that too and just get some of my material from them…just kidding.  I would never ever do that.

I’m gonna go listen to Azure Ray’s “Displaced” now.
