just letting paint dry

I am painting the stark white walls in my parents family room a much warmer beige color. Bramble Beige to be exact. I have always wondered who's job it is to name the paint colors, I am quite fascinated by the names. And I can't pick a color with a stupid name. There is something very satisfying for me putting a new color of paint on the wall. Not white though I just dislike white walls. I lived in one apt where everything was white, white walls, white trim, white bathroom, white fireplaces, even our couch was an off white. White to me (referring to paint on a wall) is cold, uninspiring and boring. Or let's put it this way I have yet to be proven wrong. I love a white trim, or white curtains, but just not a complete wall. I'd rather see a beige or gray color than white. (I started off as an interior design major, I've always had an interest in decorating, my hs bedroom was rearranged all the time and went through a few color changes) Not to mention the temperature is in the single digits, so you bet I am not leaving the house, I'm in hibernation mode. Which leads me to the next topic. Capital T, capital V. Now I have been talking about this being my year of discovery, but I have discovered the more I have going on the more I do, the less I have going on the less I do. Over these past few months I think I have at least checked out every program on television. Now in my parents house I am limited to just a few channels, but then again thanks to the wonderful world of the net I can watch a lot of shows online. But still I can't fully blame the insane amount of tv shows I know about, on myself. In NYC I found myself watching my cousins picks, which pretty much consisted of Vh1. I watched it all, Scream Queens, A Real Chance of Love (or something life that) Rock of Love Charm school, Celebrity Rehab, and Paris trying to find a best friend. Can't say it was quality tv, but maybe addictive. My best friend, slightly added to the list with 30 Rock, the City, and Biggest Loser. Then there are the shows I watch with my parents, NCIS, The Mentalist... And now the CW is seeping into my routine. 90210, Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, not to mention my own shows, Greys, Scrubs, Betty, Private Practice, How I Met your Mother, The yummy new Bachelor caught my eye, and now I even have American Idol on (But if I get to watch a season with some eye candy like David Cook, not all is lost.) When will it stop! I need to get a job soon, or a social life to end the bad tv watching. So my year of discovery so far I am discovering all the different tv shows out there! At least I have not gotten hooked on any soap operas, that's when you know there is an issue. Maybe I should blog on tv shows, at least I could feel more productive.
Can I just say I HATE the beginging of American Idol. I hate watching all the terrible singers, who think they are good, or just want some tv time.
I have been kind of waiting this week, for two things to happen. If I get the job at the Little, I should be hearing about it this week. And my gm from Mellow is suppose to be calling me, so let's hope by the weekend with more direction to it.
