An almost perfect 20 minutes

Consists of: (1) an agreeable baby who sits quietly in his high chair and chews on a toy while mama reads (2) a copy of an embarrassingly trashy magazine like US Weekly, preferably including an interview with Lauren or Heidi from The Hills (does Lauren continue dating himbo Brody Jenner? Do Heidi and Spencer get back together? Is Whitney really off the show?) and eats (3) some non-terrible fried chicken from the grocery store deli.

The chicken in question on this occasion came from the local Safeway, and despite all appearances, was surprisingly edible. After having spent the day under the heat lamps with the sad joe joes and other fried deli items, the chicken meat was predictably dry, but the skin was crispy, salty, and spicier than I would have anticipated. I wouldn't imagine a breast piece would be very good, given it's lack of delicious juicy fat to begin with, but I would definitely get the dark meat pieces again.

Now for what's really important...Heidi and Spencer did get back together, despite the fact that Spencer is clearly the biggest tool ever. And, did you see Heidi's boobs? She looks like a cartoon! Lauren and Brody don't continue dating, but she meets a special Frenchman in Paris. And, Whitney's still on, but they're adding a new Teen Vogue intern to spice things up. Oh, and yes, I am far too old to care about such things.
