Ellen
I've always been a huge fan of Ellen. But I'd never really watched her daytime talk show. Since I have a lot more time on my hands lately, I've decided to DVR it. I do that so I can skip over the boring parts. There are some parts of the show that are funny and some parts that are painful. (Like, sorry to be such a wet blanket, but I don't care to watch Ellen and an audience dance for two minutes... just.. not interesting.)
Anyway... so now that it's summer, they're showing reruns from the spring.. or whenever. Or something. On Thursday, she had for a guest Melissa from The Bachelor. And on Friday she had Jason and Molly?? from the Bachelor. You know, some big huge crisis thing. He initially proposed to Melissa, but then dumped her on national television for Molly or something. I'd heard enough about it when it actually happened to make me nauseated.
I thought, "Okay. I'm going to listen this time. I'm going to really find out what happened. I don't have anything better to do." About a minute and a half in when Ellen was talking to Jason, I fell into a deep coma and was forced to use the Emergency Fast Forward button on the remote control.
Gad.
I subscribe to People (well, it's about to run out) ... I have been known to binge on those type of magazines at airports (or when I'm just bored) ... but I canNOT stand that much trivial trash. There's some show called "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!"? ... and .. what? Why? There's a new show coming on the Oxygen channel called "Dance Your Ass Off." It's a weight loss show where girls learn to dance .... And Seth had a cow and thought it couldn't possibly be real. #1 it has the word "ass" in it. #2 who wants to watch chubby girls squeeze into sexy outfits and dance? (we saw the commercial). #3 Well, hey.. it's a spin on The Biggest Loser, which I think is a great show.... but my question is .. why does it have to be a show?
You woulda thought everyone's eagerness to be on TV would have faded out by now. But now it's even easier... not just with game shows, but with STUPID shows. Yay.
Okay. I don't want to read the news that is going on in Tehran right now, either.. but there is a middle ground between Brain Dead Bachelor and Real World Atrocities for me to spend my time on.
Now for my chore of the day: go to Ikea. What a chore!
