1. TV Reality Shows
2. Facebook
3. Celebrity Magazines
Yes, I know they're such a waste of time. But they're so fun and entertaining and just useless. It's such a curse. It tempts you with the sparks and beauty of entertainment, but it leaves you with this dry, numb and "oh, there goes my day living vicariously through that actress or model or housewife or dog or etc.!" feeling.
And then you begin to realize that that model friend of a friend of a friend of yours has no idea who you are because you're so not the kind of person they'll ever meet and they're just so not you and they're half a world away from you.
So, you just spent half an hour of your life doing an intensive "networking" or "studying" or "researching" on a person that you have no relation to.
And then you somehow convince yourself that it would only make sense to ramble about the time you've wasted on your blog that anyone hardly comes to read.
Oh my goodness...my life is SAD!
On a happier note, I'm starting my new job today. YAY!
Another new adventure starting this week: Studying my very first opera role. Susanna from Le Nozze di Figaro.
Alright, I think I'm ready to live a productive day today.
i'm reading! =) #1 and #3 are def sad... #2 *can* be like taking a walk around my virtual neighborhood and catching up with friends. BUT -- it *can* also be trash.
ReplyDeleteoh? new opera role? whas that mean?
ReplyDeleteJie Ling-"virtual" Szeling waves Hi!
ReplyDeleteJie Shin-Studying a new opera role means that I'm learning to sing a character in an opera. It's new to my voice. I'm moving on from singing just arias to actually studying the character's personality, recitatives, history, influence, reactions, etc. throughout the opera.
