"Someone's Got a Case of the Mondays"

It's Monday again.... but this Monday is special. This is the last Monday of normalcy until October. What happens in September you may ask?

1. Preparing to take my GRE in October (finally)
2. Studying for Columbia's J-School admissions test
3. Still taking courses at UCLA's extension
4. Preparing my applications for grad school
5. Barry's boot camp
6. The death of my social life (if it ever existed)

Someone asked me the other day how my summer was and I kid you not, it wasn't until then that I noticed that my "summer" was coming to an end. "I don't get a summer," was my reply. I live in the land of ubiquitous sunshine (it's over 80 degrees in the valley, every single day... maybe we'll see rain in Jan./Feb.?) but also one of perpetual work. I don't get a break and the weather's all the same, so how am I supposed to tell you how my summer was when I didn't even notice it came and went? After I explained this to the cheerful person who probably just wanted some generic answer like "Oh it's been great," or "good," not some long diatribe about how I'm such a workaholic that I can't find time to raise my head up from my desk to notice that life is passing me by. She replied... "It's not that you don't have a summer. It's just that everyday is summer for you. That's so cool." Optimism can be so annoying.

Some people I know started a "Webizine" (at least I think that's what they called it) and it's got some cool stuff on it. I liked this blog post from Chad Bell... maybe it's because I know him personally and it's funny to see him take a stab at this writing thing... or maybe it's because he was dead on.... or maybe it's both but check it out: A Day in the Life of Chad Bell's post on "10 Ways to Scare Off a Man" 

Okay so if you had to rank Diddy, 50, and Jay by how much they were worth what would it be? Find out the answer here at The Loop's pop culture blog "Pop This?" as blogger Felicia Pride begs the question: "Can We Borrow a Dollar?"
