even I can't hide from the trainwreck that is Britney Spears.

Tonight's the MTV's VMA and it's funny how all publicity efforts for the VMA's have been channelled towards the controversy of Brit's opening act. It no longer mattered if you loved her or hated her, you just wanted to tune in and watch to see if she rocks, or flops. I'm no fan and I definitely don't give a hoot about music videos, but oh yeah, you can be sure I'm sticking around for 9pm to come by. Kind of seems that the VMA's just riding on Brit's long long tailcoat of tabloid fame.

I'm turning into a fluffball, a flake. Seriously. And I blame my sister. The Hills, The Girls Next Door (her absolute favourite, she's in love with Kendra and Holly's in love with Hef), Sunset Tan, ANTM, E! etc. I think I've pretty much covered all the Hollywood celebrity reality and entertainment shows possible. Not to mention, Gossip Girl, Project Runway and the new cycle of ANTM begins the coming week. See, in two paragraphs alone, I've just shown you how I've been sucked into the materialistic and superficial world that is Hollywood.

Well from reality tv to my reality. I was previously informed that there would be three coaches present at practice today. But when I got to the pool, lo and behold! I was the only one to take charge of the 11s and up, and the 10s and under. I got tricked. But it was fun, having all the girls to myself. That way I can really push them and it worked! The girls really surprised me today, complying to my every request. I made them do laps and laps and laps of.. laps. My reasoning? They all lack the stamina to complete a decent routine and since this was the start of season, I thought it best to push them now, that way later on in the season, it would be so much easier for the girls. Pretty common sense, no? Comments on today's practice? It was way tiring, but fun! And thanks from the moms! Go me! =)

Much later this night..
One ring to rip me to bits, leaving me speechless. This is when I secondguess and then chide myself, afterwhich I'm just left asking, dammit why is it so hard?
