Boo Who

Some girlfriends and I were emailing back and forth about The Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy. It's a great little tome written by a mom who was tired of panic guides and overly clinical parenting manuals. The topic of emotional sensitivity came up, and I suddenly remembered what happened to me a few days ago.

I cried watching the end of Rocky II. All I did was tune in to the station it was playing on - it was almost done - not like I'd watched the whole film all the way through...it was the fight scene where Rocky finally beats Apollo Creed and he's standing there in the ring with the microphone.."...and I just wanna say one thing...Yo Adrienne! I did it!" And I went boo hoo hoo hoo. Infact, I think I literally did that.

A good episode of Sex & The City can do it to me too. Yeah, the show did end, but HBO is smart enough to know that real fans of the show can watch episodes over and over and over. I freaking love that show. I could cry just thinking about the fact that it's over.

Out of Sight is on the Oxygen network right now. I could cry watching this. Clooney (George Clooney, DUH) is SO sexy, and it's such a bummer that his character Jack Foley and J.Lo's character (Karen Sisco) don't get to really be together. So what if he's a repeat offending convicted felon!

That Oxygen network - how silly. I hate that TV people are trying so hard to target programming at women. It seems desperate to me. SpikeTV is the men's version. It's like "Hey you modern, sensitive yet edgy person, here are some shows that will really appeal to you! And while we're at it, we've created some color schemes, graphics and voice-over personalities that will make you feel like you've found just the TV channel you've been looking for your whole life."
It's gotten to the point where entertainment execs are trying to make a tv station synonymous with your lifestyle. Barf.

Ok the sexy scene was just on when Karen Sisco is dreaming about walking in on Clooney in a bathtub and they totally make out and she gets in the tub with him. I don't feel like crying so much right now...
