Jersey Shore is like a train wreck. It's terrible. And yet I can't help but keep my eyes glued to it.
WTF?!
I hate to admit it but I have become fixated on this show. Granted I hate drama in my own life, but I love watching others go through it, although some of this is far too scripted to be believable as "reality television." I mean, really. Two roommates write an anonymous note to a third roommate about Third's boyfriend sneaking around behind her back and screwing with other women. One and Two opt not to tell Three that they wrote it and all hell breaks loose in the house. Stupid, right? And yet I have to watch; I can't change the channel.
Part of it might be that watching this show makes me feel better about myself. By comparison, I have a pretty good life: friends I love, a good relationship with my boyfriend, etc. This is as close to drama as I feel like getting, thanks.
At any rate, there's not much else to do at home, so I might as well take advantage of the fact that my parents have cable here... with OnDemand. Oh yes, I'm set up in front of the tv and I have absolutely no plans of doing anything but this for the rest of the day. Lazy weekend. I love it.

BostonMed
My favorite summer-series TV show is over and I'm at a complete loss as to what to do with myself now.
Last night, the finale of BostonMed featured the first face transplant in New England (only the second in the country!) at Brigham and Women's Hospital, and I was all but glued to my television screen. Let me spell it out for you: R-I-V-I-T-E-D!
It was amazing.
That show is absolutely one of my favorite on television ever and I'm completely bummed that ABC only ran eight episodes. It was like Grey's Anatomy in real life...in Boston, no less! The day it premiered I had spent in Boston at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute with a friend, just a hop, skip and a jump away from Brigham. I was in awe, I won't lie.
My boyfriend always pokes fun at my Grey's Anatomy obsession, given (as he says) it's completely fake. I'll concede on that one; it is pretty hard to stomach at times. But BostonMed was reality TV in its rawest form. I was completely transfixed. It gave me something to look forward to when he wasn't around...and then it gave me an excuse to text/call him to ask what exactly was going on, medically speaking, because let's face it, I'm clueless.
I suppose I was aware that it would end eventually, but it I feel like I was ambushed. Doesn't ABC usually advertise season/series finales? It wasn't until about halfway through the episode last night that I realized another show was being advertised for the Thursday at 10 p.m. time slot and I realized the end was near.
Way to veil the truth, ABC. Thanks a lot for giving me something to love and unceremoniously taking it away. I appreciate it.
Now what?
