Lazy, lazy, lazy sunday

This weekend I had good intentions to go to Westwood to attend the LA Times Book Festival. Didn't happen. My excuses?

Temperature was sunny and low 90's. I don't like being outside in that kind of weather.

Reluctance to revisit the UCLA campus.

And I got sucked into America's Next Top Model marathons on MTV. There's something about that show I find so addictive. I enjoy watching the journeys the contestants take--a number of them grow up and/or become competent beginning professionals. I find it all quite touching, especially girls who either discover much to their surprise that fashion modeling is their calling in life, or alternately, a girl who realizeds that her girlish dreams of modeling are not what she really wants.

Today MTV aired Cycle 3, with the best final 2--Eva and Ya Ya. I preferred Ya Ya--she reminds me of a former colleague of mine back in NYC, but I understand why Eva was picked as she's got star quality. I do wonder what happened to these girls after the show is over and done with?
