Post #1 The Bachelor
I wish I could post as wonderfully as Lincee on www.ihategreenbeans.com. I wish I could write a really funny Bachelor recap like she can. But I cannot. So I will try to give a little insight on last night's show.
Disclaimer: I don't know why I watch the Bachelor. At least once an episode I say out loud: "This is so stupid". But I watch anyway. Why is this? I don't know.
My thoughts on last night's episode:
1. Melissa is my pick. I think final two are her and Jillian. I like them both. She looks like Mandy Moore and she is super bubbly, but I am still holding out for Melissa.
2. Shannon puking, and then coming out, hugging Jason and getting a rose was SO. LAME. Ok, where is the Lysol? Call the intern and have him run to Walmart! We need to disinfect!
3. Megan is just not a good girl. She is like that girl in High School everyone knows who DRAMA JUST FOLLOWS. She creates it if it is not already there. She needed to go home last night, badly. But, hey, she is good TV.
4. The whole “be open and tell Jason your feelings” at the Rose ceremony was weird. Why are we having a Women Tell All in episode 3? It became weird. I love Chris Harrison, but I thought this was just dumb. But hey, made good TV.

5. Natalie's date was painful. I recapped the entire date for my husband later. I don't think he found it as funny as I did, but it was pretty funny. "I like bears." Favorite quote!
5. Overall, a hilarious episode. Loved it!

Why do I watch this? I keep asking myself.
Post #2 Obama
Obama. Now, as I was driving to work this morning, albeit in horrific traffic, I found myself secretly hoping people would stay home to watch the inauguration. Ryan laughed at me when I suggested this. I have only been at my current job for 5 months, so I don't know how certain holidays or events are handled. Will we gather around someone's computer? Will there be a TV in someone's office where I can watch the speeches? Then I remembered I can watch it online, and I felt satisfied. But little did I know that online was going to FAIL me.
I got to work and began streaming the LIVE MSNBC video to my computer and just let it play while I worked. I ran around to the printer and across the street and such as per usual. On one of my trips across the street I notice that the big screen in the Singles Classroom is set up with ABC. I stop for a few minutes to watch, then think, "I can watch this online". So I go to my desk, and watch. THEN, it stops. Just stops. So I grab what I am working on and high-tail it down to the Singles Classroom. As I step in, one of our beautitful secretaries says "He bobbled his oath". AND. I. MISSED. IT. I was less than enthused.
Despite missing one of the more memorable moments, the speech itself was quite inspiring. I enjoyed it. I thought he kept looking way far to the left and then way far to the right, which bothered me. Never looked straight ahead it seemed. But hey, lots of pressure, and he just messed up his oath. Or the Justice messed it up. I will find out tomorrow on the TODAY show. (My fave).
Enjoy your historic day. And let me know what you think the Bachelor!
Much love,
Allison
