Idiotic Craziness and Reality TV
Yes, you can see I was distracted half way through my post. I don't know. I could have just edited the other post after I came back from being hypnotized by the dang TV (stupid things are hypnotic, for me at least...my curious mind wanted me to watch the thing even though I know it's utter garbage). But no, I didn't. I thought it added 0.27% laugh factor to the blog. Oh wait. It didn't? Even just 0.27%? :(
Well yeah. It was a The Go-Go's cover, Our Lips Are Sealed. I give them some credit but I couldn't distinguish between the two of them during those close-up scenes. Or was my mind just playing a cruel trick on me? The video's stupidity was partly amusing. The voices were still annoying. Haylie Duff's voice was just a notch less annoying than Hilary's. Meh. This is not utter dissing. I still gave them some credit, you know. Look a few sentences back.
Anyway. I was just about to tell how my day went. I woke up at 7:30 and ate some left over mashed avocado from the one whole avocado I sliced open last night. It was as big as my face so there was plenty of it. I did some reading on General Science and Biology as review for the UPCAT. After that, I went online while simultaneously trying to watch the TV. I ate lunch and then tried reading my Bio book for the upcoming longtest whilst watching Blue Crush again. I somehow make it a point to watch the movie weekly.
By the end of the first disc I was able to finish 2 pages of my bio book, w00t. Then I decided not to watch it any further and tried seeing which shows I could watch on TV. There was nothing exceptional on HBO. I left it on some channel I forgot and read up to half of the chapter in the book. Then I came upon MTV, which was airing The Newlyweds. Well, let's just say I left it at that channel. I got more reading out of my book though since there was really nothing to watch on The Newlyweds. I enjoyed snickering at some stupidity though.
The next show caught me though. It was about a girl named Ashlee, from what the commentary said. (These are all reruns by the way, I assume). I was like, 'What the hell? Jessica Simpson has a sister?' Let's just say I was finally distracted and I watched the whole show. It was... interesting. It pained me to hear the demo songs she prepared for her record company's president. It left emotional and mental gashes on me. Fortunately, by the end of the show I was finished with everything I needed to read about Mendelian and Non-mendelian genetics.
It's good to know though that Ashlee refused to be a Hilary Duff, since that was what some record guy told her. She refused to be a Hilary Duff. She said, she doesn't want to be compared to her and to be like her. To quote her, "That's what they did to my sister. They fucking made her be like Britney Spears!" Oh. So you're sister was a victim of manipulative disaster by record labels? Oh, and if I may add... Ashlee is more, er... intellectually elevated, for lack of a more grounded, gentler term, than her older sister.
After that, to my joy there was finally something that I like and actually enjoy to watch on TV. $100 Taxi Ride was on NatGeo! Followed by Chasing Time. Ah, good times. By the time Chasing Time started, which was around 2:30 I decided to open a pack of cheese barrels. After that I followed up a request for leukemic blood sample (that I need for my research) at the Philippine Children's Medical Center. And then I decided to go online.
I went online again and surfed around forums, sent my forgotten research proposal to my research adviser through the YahooGroup, and then tried to see what Ashlee Simpson is really up to now, whether she was able to put out that album of hers. Apparently she was. And she dyed her hair black in the process as well. It was good to know too that she wants a separate name for her band. Not just Ashlee. Apparently, she wanted it so they could be introduced as Ashlee Simpson and the (insert band name).
I like reading through senseless blogs and pseudo-psychoanalyzing people who can't do it to theirselves. So I read the Ashlee and her band diary. While I was doing so, as if by fate or another cosmic joke, I turned my head to see what was on the TV and her music video came up. The singing was not as painful as it was during the show. I guess she improved (remember, the show aired was months late).
I don't approve of most "reality" tv shows, except for The Amazing Race and Queer Eye (if you consider that as one, though I really don't. I just mentioned it.) but I have an odd affinity for certain reality TV shows. They usually don't last beyong 2 weeks though. Sooo... you can expect me to make another post saying I watched The Ashlee Simpson Show again. This certain affinity probably stems out from boredom and a tolerance for crappy things. But the really crappy ones, I cannot stand. Like For Love or Money 2. For Love or Money, the first one, was already damaging and they released a second one. I only watched the last 3 episodes of the first one to know who'll win. I also watched the first episodes of American Idol because they were absolutely funny (the audition videos) and watched the first few episodes of the contest proper mainly because I was trying to monitor Camille Velasco and Jasmine Trias. But when JPL got voted out, I stopped watching. Heh. You may find him horrible but yeah, I supported him. Haha
Ah well. I am now suffering from back pains due to the stool I'm sitting on. My sister broke my computer chair months ago by sitting on it. Yeah. She sat on it and then 5 seconds after, the chair collapsed together with her. lol
Dinner's calling. After this I'd be reading The Iliad until the clock strikes 8:00. Then it's time for Queer Eye. Woohoo. I'm such a happy kid.
Conclusion so far:
I do like crappy reality tv shows after all not because of the true nature of the show but because they are stupidly entertaining. I like the beach so I naturally prefer the west coast over the east coast (But as a kid, I actually preferred the east coast because I wanted to be a Manhattan lawyer. Due to John Grisham novels and Ally McBeal episodes. Oh wow. Oh joy.) But then I realized, east coast can be as much fun. I mean, come on. It should be fun to be corporate Manhattan nuns. ;)
