mondays rock.

contrary to popular slumdog feelings about the start of a fresh new week, i happen to love me some monday. especially the part which exists between eight o'clock post meridiem and midnight. and here, my friends, is why. let the drooling begin.


8:00-10:00 PM
THE BACHELOR
catfights, crying, backstabbing, cheesy sappy professions of love, terrible art direction, and un-realistic reality tv make this a 2-hour time slot that i almost insist on DVR'ing and watching once it's over because watching it live is just torturous. commercial breaks are too much to handle.









9:00-10:00 PM
24
now, you see that there is an obvious sceduling conflict between Jack Bauer and Bachelor Jake. please don't feel sorry for me -- i have this down to a science. 24 takes priority over all things monday. despite some recent absurd storylines (like, ohhh, let's see . . . last week, Renee stabbed Jack in the gut. a wound that would have killed most people within minutes. but not Jack! he slapped a band-aid on it and kept on marching through the night. i cringed a wee bit at this part because honestly, that's really pushing the believability level even for 24, but whatever. i'll let that one slide), i have followed Bauer through every world-saving event since college and am not giving up on the writers now. plus, Jack is hot.


10:00-11:00 PM
KELL ON EARTH
dear God, i love this. even though Kelly Cutrone literally makes me DRIP in sweat every time i watch her. it's a great nervous energy not unlike the feeling you have when you know you're about to be fired. which is exactly how i feel through every.single.second of this show. anxiety would be an insult to my emotions. and i usually want to take a shower when it's over - or just sit in a puddle and cry. this chick is intense. and i love it when she screams at the interns who haven't a CLUE what they're supposed to be doing. it's just awesome.



so. happy monday to you.
