Great season finale last night of the Bachelor. For those that didn’t watch, the bachelor (who I must say I was thoroughly impressed with as bachelors go) chose the kindergarten teach who happens to live just blocks from him in Nashville and they’d never met till the show taped in France. She seemed to be about the only one of the girls who was actually emotionally stable. Moana (who he didn’t pick) was sobbing uncontrollably in the car but couldn’t even come up with one connection the two of them had. She seemed completely fake to me with her ‘he looks into my eyes and sees straight into my soul’ right out of her can-o-romantic-lines. UGH!

And then tonight there’s more great tv. If you haven’t watched the show Related on the WB you MUST check it out. It is one of my absolute favorite chick shows. All about 4 sisters and it’s funny, touching, stylish, romantic. What more could you ask for in an hour of entertainment?! Then there’s American Idol again and I’m torn between tivo’ing Boston Legal or Law and Order – SVU. I’m leaning toward SVU ‘cuz it looks like the William Shatner character cheats on his new bride at their wedding reception. Not really a story-line I’m interested in seeing I guess.

And I am so NOT a Barbara Walters fan but I have to tune in tomorrow night. She’s interviewing Matthew McConaughey and Patrick Dempsey. She’s also interviewing George Clooney and maybe a few others but I’m about as much of a George Clooney fan as I am of Barbara Walters. I’ll be able to fastforward through probably half the show which is always nice. :)

Some disturbing news on the television actually right now. Has anyone else been wondering why there seems to be an abundance of jail breaks in the past 3 or 4 months?! I mean it seems like they always get caught so I’m not sure what they’re thinking but for some reason or another they happen alot lately and this one is way too close for comfort. And how on earth does someone who SHOOTS a cop go ANYWHERE without just a ton of police officers making absolutely sure he doesn’t get away and goes to prison if not worse for the rest of his life. Someone if not a number of officers have got to be just sick about this right now.Fortunately I live about a half hour from Grand Rapids but I’m heading into the office for a bit right now to get some packages sent out and the area they’re searching is just a 10 minute drive from there. I’d imagine they’re pretty confident that he’s still in the immediate 5 or 6 blocks they’re searching and hopefully they find him very soon. I’ll keep ya posted ‘cuz I know I hate it when you hear something on the news and then never find out what ended up happening. Sounds like right now the police are focusing on a food store and have guns drawn and alot of screaming going on according to a reporter. I HAVE to get into work but it’s tough to stop watching. If you want to check on the story before I get a chance to update you can find it here.
