The Bachelor: On the Wings of BS

-
Missed most of the first hour b/c we were messing around with a video, but one of the highlights we caught was the one on one girl going, "It was so beautiful to hear the sound of the grasshoppers..." Dan said, "Doesn't she mean crickets?" There has been an unbelieavel amount of bad music on this show--including Chicago and "On the Wings of Love." We're about to find out the big secret that's not a secret wherein one of the girls was supposedly flirting with one of the producers. Who cares? these women are pretty aggressive. I wonder how much time they actually have with him one-on-one...Like, it seems from the editing that it's only ever fifteen seconds. Vienna has admitted that she almost married her pastor's son and then married someone else and got unmarried. He gave it to Olivia, who must have confessed something great. Vienna is pissed off. He gave it to her because she asked him not to kiss her and htat's why he likes her. She did let him feel her up and touch her chastity belt with his tongue, but that's IT!

Oh, an explosion just went off (in his pants and in the sky) as he is being cock-blocked by the one girl who won't let him do more than kiss her forehead.

In case you weren't sure, the reason that Michelle is here is the reason that he is here and she's here for the same reasons (?).

Okay, so they kicked off this person because she had a conversation with someone from the production crew. This show makes women look completely stupid. I wish one of them would go, "This is ridiculous! Are you all serious!' Why are they all crying? Is this show sponsored by Maybelline? How puritanical are these women? It's not like she had sex with him and who cares even if she did--they're all unattached.

The term "right reasons" has been said more than 200 times.

Chia will accept this rose, so will Temple ?, Ella (someone's mom?), Felicia (never saw her before), Cory (soon to be gone), they must have told him to pick only the girls with strange names, Jessica (who again?), Ashley H. (bad long hair and hung out with him in a bikin), Michelle (voted most likely to stab him in the heart), and finally...........................................................................Katherine. So bug eyes and the teacher are going home. Ladies, say your good byes. One of the Ashley's got sent home. She's not sure why she's being sent back to Pittsburgh. Christina is disappointed and able to almost cry about it. She has either a tatooo or a day-old bar stamp on her wrist (or maybe it was a suicide attempt). I am so happy that all of the blondes managed to stay in the game. Like, almost all of them are blond. He feels very lucky and very blssed to have possibly one or two real blonds on the show.

That's it. Sorry I couldn't give it more time--it's just not interesting enough.

Candyman: Race, Class, Sexuality, Gender, and Disability

-
Candyman hits on almost all of the sections we discussed over the last six weeks. Let's start from the most obvious and move from there.   Race: A large part of Candyman confronts the anger and rage of the Black community after years and years and years and years of systemic racism. Candyman is an embodiment of all of the men who have suffered at the hands of whites (white police man, the white community, white systems that have set them up to fail such as the housing projects of Cabrini-Green). The monster of Candyman is a tornado of retribution, a hive of bees swirling angrily and containing the men who have been lynched or tortured by whites, starting with the original death of a Black male painter who dared to fall in love with a white woman whose portrait he painted. This monster, like the original, can be summoned by anyone who dares to say his name out loud in front of a mirror five times. Until the very end, the only people who do this are white--and every one of them is

Short story by Lauren Groff, "At the Round Earth's Imagined Corners"

You have to maintain a much more focused attention when reading a good short story versus a novel, because if you skim, you might miss something.  For this reason, I find it a little more difficult on my brain to read short stories.  But if you're going to write in the form, you should read in the form (and others--I have yet to memorize a poem as was suggested in my workshop last week), so I've been trying. Lauren Groff has a story called "At the Round Earth's Imagined Corners" in Best American Short Stories, 2014. You might have read her novel The Monsters of Templeton, or her other short story from a previous Best of collection, "Delicate Edible Birds" (also the name of her book of short stories), I have a vague recollection that that story was about World War II or possibly World War I and a dinner party where the people invited are living it up . I seem to also remember a line about the crunching of tiny bird bones. The Monsters of Templeton

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
