CJ's Thought of the Day...

Why Lipstick Jungle is a Ridiculously Stupid Show, and Why I Will Keep Watching it.

I will open up with my thought by telling you why I hate Lipstick Jungle. First of all, Thursday is my longest day. I am so tired by Thursday, that the thought of working all day and then teaching 4 dance classes makes me want to retire and move to Florida with all the cute old people. Not that I don't think I want to do that every other day, but Thursday I think of it most. So I get home at 9:30, and I should go to bed. But as with all nights I teach (every night), I am wide awake because I just danced for 4 hours. Lipstick Jungle is on at 10pm. How freakin inconvenient. Screw you NBC. So once I see it's on, then I have to continue to watch it for the very long hour that it is on. Dammmmmnit. Next, it's a sad sad sad try at trying to be Sex and the City. Ok, ummm, not sure if you got the memo, but nothing can ever be Sex and the City. I don't care if the same writer or creator whatever wrote it, it will never ever be Sex and the City. Ever. It's based on 3 women. All successful, all pretty, and all confused with love. Oh how original. So instead of 4 ugly or average looking woman, they replace them with 3 very beautiful ones and keep everything else the same. They are all annoying in their own way. One is a whiny fashion designer that has a billionare that gives her everything for a boyfriend, but is unhappy because he works too much. Ohhhh your poor thing. One is a Vice President of a company who cheats on her husband because her husband won't sleep with her, then feel bad and dumps him, then the kid files a sexual harassment case, drops it, and then she starts sleeping with him again. Real bright. The last one is kinda normal, has the usual marriage issues, but somehow makes them 10 million times annoying than they would be in real life. That's the show.

Why will I still watch this awful show? Because now I am hooked. Because as much as I dislike everything that happens on the show, it's still kinda of entertaining. Because I have NO SEX AND THE CITY anymore, and this weak show is the most I can come up with. Because I look forward to seeing the MacBook Air commercial, EVERY TIME there is a commercial break. (The Commercial) Yes I like the commercial too much. You know, the one where there is a fun song on, and they pull the laptop out of an interoffice mail envelope to prove just how tiny and "air-like" it is. Of course I could just as easily download the song and play with my own laptop while listening to it. But you know what? I like the simple yet amazing commercial.... so what?!?!?! Because I want to see if they all live happily after so I can hate the show more. Because I know that even if I didn't watch it, I would still be up watching some other stupid show. Even though I understand I blamed me not going to bed on the show, that may have been a fib. That's not the point.

The point is it's a ridiculously stupid show, but I will keep watching it.
