of course i watched the friends finale...i called missy and we were on the phone the whole time it was on (fitting, since we remember watching the first show together...or at least i remember it.)
i wanted to laugh, cry, be emotionally moved. i wasnt. it was boring and predictable. *sigh* for a show that has been at times so funny and sharp, last nights show was a huge letdown. probably the very worst thing they did was have ross and rachael stay together. think about it: most of the folks who can truely relate to the show are late 20's, early 30's and have lived in the real world and know that sometimes a couple can have chemistry, then they change and they're not a good couple anymore. thats life. thats ross and rachael. ross has gotten progressively more whiney and annoying, where rachael has gotten more independant and has grow up quite a bit (except for that whole 'having a baby then never spending any time with her' thing). anyway, i think realistically rachael would have left ross for paris. ross is her old life. even though they share emma, we havent seen them get closer through taking care of her. we've not even had a chance to see them cultivate that bond. they dont have any spark. its like rachael got scared and decided to stay with ross cos its the 'safe' thing to do. but i guess people do that in real life too...
eh, its over now though, thank god. it was time.
i've been busy at work and every time i get really busy at work its very important to me to be able to go home, lay in bed, and try to relax so i've been doing that and watching one of my favorite british shows, The Office. i bought the first two seasons on dvd (bought the whole series of The Vicar of Dibley too...have i mentioned lately how much i love my new paycheck?) anyway, watch either if you get the chance...both are hilarious.
i also bought some new cd's...sheryl crow's greatest hits (sometimes i dont like her at all, but for some reason i wanted this cd.) rolling stones 40 licks, and loretta lynns new cd, van lear rose. it was produced by jack white of the white stripes, so its very unmistakeably loretta, but its also got such a great gritty white stripes feel to it too. i love loretta (despite the fact that she's a big ol ragin republican, but i love some of you despite this too :-) )
new niece or nephew will be here in about a month! very exciting...SIL has felt really good up to this point, but she's starting to feel so much more run down. i guess nature does that to preggies so they're really ready to have the finished product and be done with the whole pregnancy thing...anyway, i'm very excited about it and i could have pitched a fit during ER last night cos it was so damn sad. i knew they'd have carters baby die or something horrible happen to him. anyway, i sure dont want to see sad baby stuff right now...
enough for now...i must go grade some papers since the semester is about over (who am i kidding, i'm gonna go watch a movie... :)
