So being at home over break has led me to make some very questionable TV choices. The other night I watched a rerun of that Richard Branson Rebel Billionaire show on FX. This show is stupid and shitty, but I still ended up watching it. The only cool thing about it is at the end when he has to choose between two people and send one of them home. I guess the premise of the show is that they fly to a different place each week so they all meet outside the airplane and then Richard Branson gives his little speech (he does have a cool accent) and then presents the two with envelopes that they open, and only one has a ticket in it and that person gets on the plane and the other has to stand on the tarmac while the plane flies off. That is seriously cool.

Then the other night I got SUCKED INTO a marathon of that show Airline on A&E. I seriously mean sucked in. They had it set up so as soon as a show ended they had like a ten second bumper talking about how the regular time of the show had changed and then the next episode started. I couldn't turn it off! Starting at 1030 I watched like 5 episodes in a row and I finally made myself turn it off around 1. It had an evil hold on me. It's a good show though, it you want to see crazy people go to an airport. This one woman, who was obviously foreign, left her bag full of like 6 tubs of I Can't Beleive It's Not Butter unattended and the airport cops came and confiscated it. And then the airline worker had to escort the woman down to lost and found to get back her 6 tubs of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. That woman loves her butter substitutes, that is for sure.

So far I have been good about avoiding The Real World even though it has been on MTV like ten million times. I have not watched it that much this season so I am trying not to get sucked into reruns. I did see, however, the episode where one of the roommates didn't want to work the Easter Seals walk because she had a "phobia" of disabled children. SERIOUSLY, I am not making this shit up. I wish the disabled children had knocked her down and kicked her ass, that would have been awesome, but they did not and then she was all like "I have learned so much" but you know she hasn't and she's going to cross the street the next time she sees a toddler in a wheelchair. Whore.

I asked Santa Claus to bring me new episodes of My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss for Christmas.
