I have spent a large part of the last two days playing The Sims 2, I will admit that readily. I have also been trying to emulate a magazine article for my Journalism class. The particular style that I’m trying to emulate is Cleo, and let me tell you. They may not have a great deal of content, but style is one thing they know.

The magazine is filled mostly with advertising, or pages on fashion, which are really the same thing. Why did I choose to emulate a magazine that focuses so strongly on fashion, when clearly, I know absolutely nothing about it? To be honest, I thought it would be fun. Problem: it is, in fact, NOT fun. Painful, yes. Fun, not so much.

Thankfully, only the draft is due in tomorrow. I’m going to try and get David to look at it and tell me whether I’m on the right track or not. Plus, you know. Workshopping. Because that was oh-so-helpful when it came to my reviewing piece. *coughs* Not. Still, I have to show my work to everyone and hear their opinions.

Tiffany won a $15 McDonalds voucher for her recent performance in the school talent show. The school that just today, sent her home with a booklet on healthy eating… and a voucher for McDonalds. They’re obviously trying to combat obesity by making all the skinny kids fat; that way obesity is the new thin!

Or something, anyway. I don’t know.
