Why Hate TV?
I just finished watching the season premiere of Ugly Betty and experienced a whack of emotions from cheering “You go, Claire!” to wanting to curl up in a ball and sob. Ugly Betty is a damn good show. TV like that can't be hated.
Yes, it's over the top, totally unreal and... and... and... but I live reality every day. When I watch TV, I want to escape. Ugly Betty allows me to escape but is good television because it still reminds me that these characters are people and what they feel relates to what I feel.
And what I feel right now is super-sad from longing to be back home. With fewer than two weeks to go, I'm done being here. Just get me on the plane. Now.
