Daytime TV: What the hell else am I supposed to do?

Ok, so first of all, yes, I know that I didn't post anything yesterday. I'm a failure. Whatever.

The days are just endless, friends. I'm not working right now, thank God, so all I have to do all day is pack and clean. Which is a bitch, don't get me wrong, but I get to sleep in, and walk to the coffee shop, and write on my blog, obviously, and watch daytime TV including but not limited to: a blow-by-blow (HA!) account of Paris' time in jail, an E! True Hollywood story about AJ from the Backstreet Boys, reruns of Dharma and Greg, the occasional made for TV Lifetime movie, and my most recent secret shame- Army Wives. It's awful, and sooooooo addictive. It's Desperate Housewives meets JAG meets MASH meets Grey's Anatomy (some of the wives work at the hospital on base)... what's not to like? It started off with a surrogate baby scandal involving the actress some of you (meaning me and some guys living in the basement of the science building) might recognize from the movie "Quest of the Delta Knights", which was itself featured on MST3K in Season 7...

Ahem. The point is, if you are looking for a way to waste a perfectly good afternoon and kinda hate yourself after, Army Wives is there to please.

My other recent discovery is the show "Girlfriends". Now, you may be thinking to yourself "Hala, isn't Girlfriends a show about black women in LA? And isn't it on the CW, a network known for crappy "urban" programming that even members of the demographic on display don't watch?" To which I would say, "Yes, and yes, but seriously, watch this show". It's better than "Sex in the City", friends (also, not sure where this "friends" thing is coming from- i think I must be channelling John McCain...), and twice as relateable to those of us that don't blow $400 on a pair of shoes A WEEK (or ever). I love me some Sex in the City, you all know that, but this show has filled that aching void, and has done it while being funnier and more accessible. The only down side is that they have only come out with season 1 on DVD so far, so I am being left hanging. AND SERIOUSLY HANGING: at the end of the last episode of season 1 one "girlfriend" had apparently slept with another one's man. WHAT WILL HAPPEN????!?!?!?!?

Ok, I probably need to be getting on of the house more, but since I have like $7 until my loan disbersment in 6 weeks, TV is pretty much it for me. I don't make fun of your friends.

And finally, June 24th is my 25th Birthday. Cash is always a lovely gift.
