The Hiltons Do Not Know Their ABC’s

This just in: ABC declines offer to interview Paris Hilton.

Greediness doesn’t always pay. When ABC offered to pay the Hiltons for a post-prison interview, they turned it down, claiming they had a better offer from NBC (which was just smoke to blow up ABC’s ass). Now that they are willing to interview “with no strings attached,” ABC’s no longer interested.

Well, you can’t fault Barbara Walters for trying before ABC turned down the Hiltons.

What’s Paris learning in jail? A whole lot, it seems.

Update on Huffington Post (6/23/06): Paris Hilton to be interviewed by Larry King for free.

What The Hell Is Up with .Mac?

Being an Apple user, I got suckered into having a .Mac account when I bought my iBook. Perhaps suckered is a strong word, as I thought (and still think) having Mac in my e-mail address is cool. My main beef with them right now is how they are “improving” the .Mac site. Last week, when I logged on to use my e-mail on the new, improved .Mac, I couldn’t access my e-mail at all on the webmail site. I had to log into the account section and then click “mail.” The bugs seemed to be worked out until this morning. I can’t access my e-mail on the webmail site, so I’ve had to resort to setting up Gmail to access my e-mail.

Perhaps the answer is as simple as getting a new computer, but that’s not in the budget right now. Well, I can still dream.

That Nap Was A Killer

I went home yesterday afternoon and has a killer nap. I don’t mean I had a great nap that gets me rested for the rest of the day, but I crashed around 4 in the afternoon and slept until midnight. I haven’t collapsed like this since my final year in graduate school. Back them, I was doing coursework, tutoring, a TA assignment, and an internship at a local community college. Somehow, I managed to to this using public transportation (not a small feat in San Diego). There was one Saturday when I was getting a haircut and I kept falling asleep in my chair. When I walked home, I went to bed in the late afternoon, only to sleep for fourteen hours.

My story now? I have an early class at 7:30 am and I’ve been waking up anytime between 3:00am to 5:00am to get ready. It’s always easy to take care of some work the earlier I wake up. It’s a combination of time management and getting to sleep on time. I’m not truly a morning person yet. I’m still accustomed to being up until midnight, and 2:00am is late for me. However, I’ve got to get used to it. The morning classes won’t go away anytime soon.

I’ll go to back to bed for a couple of hours. I don’t want to say I’ve been up since 12:00am.
