Life is not *what-not* and it's none of your business.
It's cold outside. Especially cold because our heat, even when on, doesn't heat.
And, now, for an extra-special treat: Melissa-is-sick-on-and-off-for-three-weeks-and-thus-gets-caught-up-on-the-terrible-world-of-reality-television.
Real World: This season sucks. Truly. No need to bother. CT has serious anger problems; Leah is just plain mean; Mallory is cute (okay - VERY cute), but immature; Ace is cute, but immature; Adam has serious self-esteem problems; Christina is just there; and Simon (the one I think I'd like) is never around. I had the privilege of seeing the episode that was taped when Bush decided to attach Iraq. Wow - was that how the average 20 year old American reacted? They firmly supported the president and thought we had to do something because Saddam bombed New York and would do it again if we didn't stop him? My. God.
Real World vs. Road Rules: The Gauntlet: Doesn't compare to Battle of the Sexes. Great drama from Coral, Elka and Mike, but everything else is kind of flat. Why do those pesky Real Worlders from Vegas keep showing up? Throw their skinny asses in the Gauntlet! I miss Ruthie and Colin.
The Bachelor: I spent yesterday afternoon and evening watching clips from the season, and, then, the final episode. I was entirely sucked in, much to my dismay. For the wanna-be-fairy-tale-princess in me, it warmed my heart, seriously. I started watching just to prove to myself that Bob was annoying, and that the women were shallow and stupid. I was surprised to find myself laughing so much, and rooting for the eventual "winner". Go Estella and Bob! (Barf, puke, barf.)
Rich Girls: They're rich, but they're so aware of their privilege. They love the Ethiopians, and they treat their garbage men like they treat their doctors - real communists, these girls. This show is filled with such gems as this: "We don't realize that people in the midwest have to wear, like, cargo pants because of the pockets. They need them working in the fields." Seriously - are there people really so stupid?
Average Joe: This show is in the category of "Boy Meets Boy" - the network is tricky and mean, but the show is like.a.trainwreck - I just can't stop watching. I am entertained by the new "twist," but only because it seems to have made Zach very, very angry and, let's face it, Zach is an ass. I can't wait to see him squirm tonight. The three new "hot" guys aren't anything I would consider good looking, but I think the fair maiden is happy with them. I'm rooting for Adam, though I'm not really sure she's good enough for him.
Newlyweds: Thank God for this. Really. Rich Girls makes me feel good about myself, but this makes me feel even better. Oh, Mtv. I thought I could do without you, but you're like peanut butter on graham crackers - your claws are in too deep to pull free. Jessica Simpson is .classic. She is absolutely, positively, the most stupid, the most hilarious, the most immature "character" I have ever, EVER seen on television. God bless her.
That's that. I can't stomach the new "Joe Millionaire" - it's too bad even for me; and I have only seen one episode of "Survivor" (assholes voted Rupert off). I keep up with "Trading Spaces," but it's being trumped by "Clean Sweep". TS has lost my favorite designers, my favorite carpenters, and most of it's humor, but I'm hanging in there. CS is just.a.fabulous.idea. Organizing. Re-doing. Having a yard sale. It's amazing what gets me off.
