Today kicks off the start of my four-and-a-half days of Thanksgiving vacation, which I've been so looking forward to. After a half-day at work, I came home with visions of grandeur. I wanted to start the heavy duty cleaning and organizing I hope to get done on my days off. But what did I do? I plopped down on the couch and haven't moved much at all.
I started to watch the Denver Real World, but I had to turn it off partway through. I think, after never missing a season since it started eons ago, that I'm over the Real World. I think I'm too old to be engrossed in their early-20s drama. This season starts off with at least four of the castmates making out, having known each other less than 12 hours! I was repulsed. I just couldn't do it. I had a feeling this would happen before I even started watching. I didn't tune into the third season of Laguna Beach for similar reasons. They're in high school, live uber-privileged lives and I was not compelled to watch. I don't remember getting the Maturity Memo, but it's a strange feeling.
And even though I didn't get started on the housework as planned, I did get started on the wedding album that I hope to give my mom and Brent's parents for Christmas. I'm creating an album using MyPublisher. I've been working on it for essentially 7 hours and I think I'm 60% done. It's fun but hard work. I'm excited to see how they turn out, that is if I I don't go blind from all the hours at the computer.

Enjoy your days off! See you next Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteI used to watch every season of the Real World, too. Even though, with every season, it's gotten progressively worse. I saw a bit of the Key West one last season, and then made a conscious decision to stop watching it altogether.
ReplyDeleteI think this is indicative of our ages now. If we can't even BE on the show, because we're too old, we shouldn't be watching it.
Scratch that. No one should be watching it anymore - it's just not the same since about season 4. And yet, I held on for all those years. Remember the days when names like Pedro and Puck meant something? Now, they churn and burn through so many seasons, there's no point in trying to get to know the new casts.
What's even weirder to think about it, is that the cast members probably were in diapers when the show first started in NY. Granted, I was about 10, but still. I was aware at 10.
Anyway, Happy T-giving!
