90 day fiancé. No idea why I even started watching this? The partners meet the other person online from another part of the world. This one ends up bad though.

I can't even look at this shows commercials without feeling like vomiting in my mouth.

Although I feel like some of the scenes are exaggerated or scripted. But I guess that's TLC for ya.

Our nickname for TLC is The Lowest Common denominator......the channel that brought us "Honey Boo Boo", and "Dance Moms", etc.

I've been binge-watching all three series of the BAFTA award winning mockumentary "This Country" on BBC i-player. It's really funny, and oddly enough, IMO  it unexpectedly does a better job than a real documentary of conveying the hopelessness of life for your average. none-too-bright  British young adult; not just those who live in the countryside. The ones in the city find more opportunities, maybe, but they're equally crappy opportunties; and the scenery is uglier.
To my surprise , i found myself developing quite a bit of sympathy for the thick-as-bricks cousins Kerry and Kurtan (written and played by the Cooper siblings, and based on their actual experience of life in a Cotwold village) . That didn't stop it being funny though.

I just heard that an USA version is in the pipeline, FFS.  I hope you Americans can manage to watch the original instead.


Here's a taster:

Nightly chick flicks with monkeygirl continue. Last night was Bridget Jones' Diary and tonight is Only You with Marisa Tormei and Roberty Downey Jr. This movie is 26 years old!!!  :o

Suffered through the newest Star Wars. What an utter piece of crap that film is!

I watched a Disney documentary on elephants. It was really well done and I never fail to be amazed at how smart and intuitive elephants are. The importance of family and the way they grieve and bond is pretty amazing.

I only have enough focus for short Youtube videos. And even those I'm starting to skip.

The news. The Premier is supposed to be saying when kids can return to school. There's no way they're going back before school ends the last week of June so I just want to hear it from the horses mouth, so to speak, and get on with my day.
