labri 2010

so i promise to write about what i learned this weekend at some point this weekend. i currently have no plans (how does that happen?) so i should have plenty of time to reflect. in the mean time, labri FINALLY has a website of FREE mp3s to download. OMG. my life is worth living once again.

seriously, check it out. your life will be forever changed.

i need to get back to neverland. stat.

so tony came over today and fixed our remote. yay! AND bible study was cancelled. so in an effort to avoid cleaning my room and packing for labri, i thought id catch myself up on all the TV i've been missing for the last two weeks. happy happy joy joy, right? WRONG!

i tried watching the bachelor - and had to turn it off after 3 minutes. i literally could not handle the pettiness, fakeness and hearing jake say "this journey...." one more time. this didn't surprise me though. i've literally tried 4 or 5 times to like the bachelor this season, i have after all been a faithful watcher since deanna dumped jason for jesse and then jason dumped melissa for molly and jillian but ended up with molly and then jillian somehow managed to end up with ed. and yes, i know, the relationship web of this show is ooc. anyways, this season i've tried. i mean really, i have. but every time i would turn it on i would just have to turn it off. and i told myself it would get better as more girls got eliminated, but it simply has not. my skin still crawled as i watched the first 5 minutes of the hometown date show.

ok. so i was coming to grips with the fact that i probably am going to have to put my bachelor days behind me. so i turn to an old trusted friend. PROJECT RUNWAY. yes. what could be caddy and unappealing about making pretty dresses? hahahaha. oh my ignorance. oh course, the episode is a partner challenge and the rudeness and back stabbing is out in full force. skin crawling commences again.

ok. then i decide to watch something on real tv....bc obviously dvr is failing, epically. good ole american idol is on. now ive never watched this show, ever. well maybe like twice, but i was in high school and i didnt know any better. again, 3 minutes in and i have to turn it off. and not bc simon is that mean or bc ellen isnt that funny but just from the PURE awkwardness of everyone. i just can't handle it. skin crawlingly awful. ughhhh, i shutter just thinking about it.

so now im half way through packing for labri and doing a few loads of much needed laundry. and i realize that i can no longer watch reality tv. can i even still be an effective KREW leader? or, am i really turning into "one of those people who thinks they are above trashy pop culture?" or, is the entertainment industry really that bad?

so ive come up with 3 solutions.

1. i need to start watching season 1 of LOST asap. some thoughtful story lines injected into my tv diet should be helpful.
2. i can always rely on the west wing. why do i ever even stray?
3. puzzles with sharon. a completely mindless and rewarding activity that provides future wall hangings for girl intern house.

i realize these are all completely nerdy solutions to my realization that reality tv and i are no longer in a relationship, but apparently i have no other choice.

ps sorry kate. i know this hurts your feelings.
