drop dream job for loser ross?
ok. enough is enough. I haven't been a fan of friends for the last 5 years, don't get me wrong, those first 5 years, I was in. I was MUST-SEE-TVing with the best of them. I was cancelling plans and parking my keester on the couch at 7:50pm. But I don't know what happened, I gave it up. cold turkey. I still watch the reruns, which is fun, b/c I have 5 years to catch up on at my leisure. I remember when all the reruns on tv were shows I had never heard of, shows I never wanted to watch the first time it was run. but now its filled with all these shows I actually want to see. thats a little scary for a recovering tv addict with 5 day a week reruns. i digress. so, i have to admit that i ran out to Harvard Square's Urban Outfitters and scooped up 2 huge green coffee cups on huge saucers, so that i could have that cool NYC apartment they lived in. In fact, I *just* boxed them up last month, to make room for new kitchen stuff. so, what i am trying to say is that I once loved the friends, now, i feel lukewarm. this was supposed to be an explanation of how I sat down to watch the last show of the series. So I was a bit behind on all the latest drama. ross has always pissed me off. big time. phoebe makes me nuts. joey is ok. i really liked chandler bing, monica and rachel characters. 50% is pretty good. i was definitely PO-ed when Rachel dumped Paris for ross the loser. he makes me nuts. and what is it with these shows having their cool leading woman run off to paris? sex and the city has Carrie dump her life to RUN to paris with a strange old man. Friends has Rachel dump her dream job in Paris to run back to NYC for ross. eeek. i feel like women have been set back 100 years. can women still vote in NYC? Someone better check on that. hours spent watching final show: 1, hours spent watching the show the last 5 years: 0.
