^^  i call this one:  “some flowers, and my sister.”  ^^

you know that episode of ‘the hills’ where the snooty intern from new york walks around the flower shop, pointing at exotic flowers and saying things like, “oh, that’s a credenza!” and “would you just look at that abyssinian shrivelfig!?”  well, she’d love ireland!

and did you know?  that same intern is the cousin of a guy who studied abroad with me in salzburg.  he told me they (mtv) offered her her own spin-off reality show about her life in nyc but that his aunt and uncle (i.e. the snooty intern’s parents) were very opposed to it and thought it’d compromise her studies.  they made her turn down the offer.  and she was quite bummed, evidently.  and then they offered whitneythe city’  and look what happened!  (i loved that show!  i was so sad when it got cancelled.  bring it back, mtv, bring it back!  we’d so much rather watch shows about fashion interns and models and their hot australian boyfriends than shows about pregnant oompa-loompas running around new jersey!) but anyway… i know him!  that intern’s cousin!  if that’s not a claim to fame, i don’t know what is.

so in conlusion, ireland has the best flowers.  and that’s that.
