Today was such a Monday. The fact that I was really sick all day and have a job where it's very easy to call in sick didn't help my "I don't want to do anything productive all day" attitude. I don't even have to call in. I just have to email. But I really was sick, promise.
My day began with a few hours of Law and Oder: Criminal Intent. I don't know what is so thrilling about that show but I love it. The whole thing really is dramatic irony though. In almost every single episode, we see the victim(s) get murdered so we know who the killers are. I guess the great part is waiting to see how the detectives figure it out. The best part, though, is when you, the viewer, know who the killer(s) is/are (because you just saw it) and the detectives/district attorneys know who the killer(s) is/are because they always figure out everyone's schemes, and then we all have to wait for them to fit their investigation within the legality of that darned Constitution and Bill of Rights in order for the show to progress. Seems that way, anyway.
By the way, while I was watching I was hunting for purple shoes to wear on my wedding and for a black cardigan to match my bridesmaid dresses. (Whoda thought finding a black cardigan was that hard? Isn't it just a staple piece of clothing? Any normal person would think so but I will assure you it is difficult). Oh and convincing myself that I should probably do homework but shrugging it off and saying that I'll do it later and if not it will somehow magically get done by itself.
Anyway, after I was all done with Law and Order since my mom has canceled all new recordings of it on the DVR, I sunk to a very low point. I watched a movie, a Lifetime Movie (no, that's not even the low part! I know, you're thinking, "How can what it was about make it any worse than it already is!"), about people starring in a Bachelor-type reality TV show.
Pause.
A movie (err, Lifetime Movie) about a reality TV show? Can we really stand to watch 2 hours of that? The one hour a week is bad enough (although almost all of us secretly enjoy it). And now that I've done it, I can safely say that the only thing dumber than watching reality TV is watching a bad movie about people making reality TV.
BUT! Here comes the redemption part.
It had THE Bradley Cooper in it. (Yum!) So I guess I can't be judged too harshly.
After that my mom and I watched One Fine Day, which I must say proves that I do have good taste in movies and further proves my good taste in actors (THE George Clooney. Better yet, the YOUNG George Clooney). I love that movie. It's so wonderful. One of my favorite, feel good classics. I think next I'll watch You've Got Mail and really mix things up!
Now, still procrastinating homework (but waiting for itunes to download so I can put the audio version of Confessions of an English Opium-Eater on my iPod to listen to it before my quiz tomorrow and be at least somewhat productive today....) while Travis stresses over his Stats test and we're sitting in my incredibly hot upstairs.
Whew. What a day!
