The Mess Known as The Bachelor

-
Hi, yes, I know that it has been weeks and weeks and that I haven't said anything about the big Bachelor debacle; have needed time to process it completely, I suppose. I feel negligent about not doing the real time blogging during the last three episodes, but I'm teaching that class Monday nights and so it wasn't feasible. AND the next class starts almost immediately following the one I'm teaching now and it's also on Mondays. BUT (how about if I just start capitalizing every first letter in each sentence?) we did move the time of the class so it runs now from 6:30-8 p.m. which means if I take a cab, I can be home by 8:15, thereby only missing the previous episodes recaps. How does that sound?

In any case, for those of you who don't waste their lives on reality television of this sort, what happened was that Jason (Ty's baby-daddy) asked Melissa (the Dallas cowboy cheerleader and the one I liked the best ) to marry him. She squealed and twirled in her banana yellow prom dress and said, Yes, ABSOLUTELY I will marry you!!! The delight lasted a mere five minutes in commercial breaks as we were told that the wrap up show After the Final Rose was so dramatic that it wasn't taped in front of a live studio audience. Part of me kind of hoped that someone had died. No such luck. Instead, it was Jason breaking up with Melissa because he was still in love with Molly of the large jaw and bobblehead. Melissa didn't handle it well, saying something like, "I hate you and I hate your fat face!"(If you can name the move that line comes from, you win $100). It's not like it was a total surprise, because when Jason said goodbye to Molly in the season finale (part 1), he ended up sobbing and vomiting over the side of a building. Then they brought out Molly who was poised and didn't comment on the fact that there was not one single person in the audience. I kind of feel like maybe she suspected something was up. Anyway, so Jason came out and asked her to go for coffee and she said okay. The following week, they aired After the After Finale Rose Ceremony (part 3) wherein Molly and Jason came back as a couple. I got confused because all of it is presented kind of as being in real time but it's not, so there's something like 6 weeks that have actually happened between shows so like Melissa and Jason's short relationship happened over Christmas but now Molly and Jason have been together for two years. I don't know. Anyway, the new Bachelorette will be Jillian, the Canadian we love because she pronounces again like "a-gain."

I'll try to be better about blogging but now that my work day starts later, it's harder to get to for some reason.

If you're referring to Waiting for Guffman, I always thought the quote was: "I hate you and your ASS face". Either way, it's still one of the best movies evah.

A couple of weeks ago, Lisa Marie and I found a yard sale and stopped to browse. As a result, she bought a cute little black dress that she wore to her opening of her awesome art film, Troupe de Fetishe which you can now see at the Crane Arts building in Fishtown. I bought two pair of shoes for $4 total. These are the boots. And these are the red Mary Jane heels. I seldom wear heels b/c I quite often fall over, but these have a thick heel, so I am able to wobble around in them almost seamlessly. Then the other day, Dan took me to Green Street and I found this coat/sweater. It's good for chilly weather, but won't be enough for cold winter snow. It works for now. Oh, and these are the two leather things I got Lisa Marie for her birthday (I can put them up now b/c her birthday was yesterday). I don't really know what they're for, but I got them at Jane in Princeton. Luke saw them while he was eating a bagel at Starbucks and asked me if he could squeeze his cream cheese in...

On the Streets Where You (and I) Live

Have done my usual walking around on the weekends--met up with Celia yesterday and we trekked to Circle Thrift and then over to my house so she could admire the cats and cat dustballs. She noticed right away that Emma Carol has crazy eyes. Like, she always looks like she's about to take off running or attack a fly or turn in spastic circles. There may be photos of her tomorrow. I should keep a meter of the things I typically see. Yesterday: Crazy homeless person: 1. This was a skinny Black woman who was waving plastic bags in the air in a stairwell on Broad St. near Circle Thrift. Celia guessed that she was either on crack or crystal meth. The woman kept swatting at imaginary things and organizing the bags and then flailig them every which way as though landing an unseen plane. Then she got up and walked across the busy street wearing men's bedroom slippers. Below, please note two men on Broad St. One is pointing to the homeless lady. Funny cats: 1. This particular cat had its ...

It’s all about the recaps. It’s a show made of recaps from previous shows. I purposefully skipped the first 40 minutes. These guys are all a bunch of idiots. They are turning on one another. Wes has not shown up, because he will probably come in at the very end for some kind of surprise. They are all trying to humiliate Jake because he is too perfect and too sweet (however, he just referred to himself in the third person; kind of irritating). I don’t remember any of these guys, to be honest. Who are these women in the audience? Oh, okay time for a short break because the show has been on now for three minutes. You know what, I’m going to go ahead and time the difference between the commercials and the actual airtime of the show. >Show returns at: 8:47 p.m. Don’t forget the 20 minutes of clapping in between the scenes. I can’t tell you how much hair mousse has been used in the making of this show. Dave is the crazy dude who has decided to grow a beard for the recap Juan is being atta...
