A Grown Woman: TV Addict

TV Addict

Okay, I really wouldn't say I'm addicted to TV, I'm more using it as a great escape from Reality. Too much going on and only ten days until that house must be ready for people to come see it. And a 750 word essay due Monday and a 6 page research report due 2 weeks later. I went to pay the painters yesterday and they really did do a great job on the house. Also, the house is a lot closer to being finished than I remembered from when we moved the furniture on Tuesday. So that is good. I just have such limited time left - the weekend of May 5 I'm out of town for a wedding, not exactly something I can reschedule. So this is the last weekend I have left... but I was supposed to see Scott, and I should cancel but I haven't seen him in a very very long time (2 months?), and a long distance relationship is one thing, but never seeing your boyfriend EVER is a whole different thing. We are going to dinner tonight. I will have to explain that with an essay to write and a house to prepare, I will have to cancel, AGAIN. Sighhhh... It's not that he'll get mad, he won't, it's more that I really miss him and could use some time with him, but again I still have to write that essay so I suppose this whole thing is pointless, I just have to cancel again. This won't go on forever, right? Eventually we can see each other again.

Okay, so I don't know where that paragraph came from, I totally came here to talk about TV shows. So here we go, here are my current favorites as of this week:

America's Next Top Model: This is so deliciously stupid and silly and high schoolish that it's possibly my favorite show of all time. At the moment. Buffy and I have been driving Spike UP THE WALL as we watch episode after episode that the DVR has recorded. We've now watched all episodes but Season 4. And I have to say, not only were the Season 5 girls the very prettiest of all, but Season 6 still is REALLY a bunch of fuglies in comparison. My favorite contestant was crazy drunk Lisa from Season 5. At first I was horrified by her but face it, her pictures ROCKED and I have no idea why she was cut (I was shocked, SHOCKED, when they sent her home), and she really was never maliciously mean. Just crazy. With a capital C, R, A, Z and Y. And drunk, yes. And I would have killed her if I had to live with her, but as television goes? Lovely. For the record, Buffy's favorite of all time is lesbian Kim from the same season.

Dr. 90120: Buffy and I so love Dr. Rey that we'd probably get plastic surgery just to meet him. Only not. I think he may be a little more of a dick in real life than they're showing, but maybe not, because the editors do a really good job of hiding it. But seriously, what kind of husband doesn't even notice that his wife has shrunk to 88 pounds until she TELLS him??? I think he's probably not a dick, just really self absorbed. But still, we love him. I could still do without the close up shots of surgery, but I really wanted to take a drive to his office in LA and take a picture when we were on vacation. We were close by, but Spike wasn't really having any of it and said he wanted no part of the stalking of Dr. Rey, so I gave him a break. Next time though, pictures galore.

Blow Out: I would never in a million years work for Jonathan as I would probably commit homocide on the job. The guy is so incredibly arrogant and full of himself, but again, great entertainment. And so I record every episode and love it. His salon is another storefront I wanted to photograph on our trip, but no big deal. I would give anything to come out of that salon with hair like he does, but I get the feeling they only do the hair of beautiful people, heh.

The Real Wives of the OC: I kind of really like this show even though I don't really like most of the wives. I cannot stand Vicki, in real life I would avoid that woman at all costs or probably intentionally do something to hurt her feelings. Is that awful? I can't stand fake people and she practically admits she's fake and also... WHAT'S WITH RUBBING HER LOTIONED BACK ALL OVER HER SON'S FRIENDS???? GROSS! GAG! BARF! I try to imagine doing that to one of Spike's friends and my mind won't even GO there. DISGUSTING and NOT a good mother! Her pathetic friend who works with her gets on my nerves too, though I really like her son (the one from juvenile hall) and her youngest daughter. She deserves what she got with her oldest daughter. I think my favorite wife is Jo, mostly because she's totally NOT fake. She is who she is, which is a 24 year old woman - if she wants to party all night, she has a right to, as she's not a 40 year old mother who's trying to pretend she's 24 and single. Her fiancee is a dick and I hope they stay apart forever. Jo deserves better and I have no doubt she'll be a good wife to a man who wants an actual wife, and not a "live in stay at home mom" which is what her stupid asshole fiancee said he wanted. I also love Jeana but they hardly ever show her. And the other one, with the skin cancer? People, if you have been diagnosed with so many melanomas, why would you wear NOTHING but tiny little tank tops and expose as much skin to the sun as possible? Any doctor will tell you that SPF 100 is not going to completely protect you. So while I only dislike her a little, I have no sympathy for the whining if she wants to show off her fake boobs more than she wants to avoid skin cancer.

Top Chef and Next Network Food Star (or whatever it's called): Love them both. Was so relieved to finally see that whacko Steven go home. I loved Nathan from Network Food, but I also loved that Guy won. I would totally watch his show. Also I would totally watch Nathan all day and night if I knew where he lived. There I go with the stalking again.

You see now why I need some time with Scott? Hee.

And that's about it folks.
