I don't think "loved" is necessarily the category I would put ellen in, but since I don't have an "obsessed" blog (yet... I just registered that on blogger real quick) I'll mention her here. Let me explain:
Tuesday- Arrived home from work and watched the ellen show, which I dvr every day. About 2 years ago I was sick for a week and discovered how great it was, and have been watching ever since. It pains me to think of the 6 seasons I missed out on. When it was over I watched some old stand-up and then a few episodes of the old ellen sitcom, both found at the library.
I also finished Portia's book. It took me over a month to read it, even though I'm sure I could have devoured it in a day. It's not often I find a book I want to stretch out as long as possible, and when I returned it (overdue) I was sad to let it go. I love Portia nearly as much as I love ellen (she was my favorite in Arrested Development) and especially since I've read her book and seen her a few times on the show.
Wednesday- As I drive to work I pop some ellen spoken word into the cd player. When I come home, I have time to watch most of that day's episode but then have to get to date night with the bf, so I listen to more spoken word while I drive there, and when I arrive he is frustrated because his initial plan to download ellen episodes from the internets isn't working as well as he thought it would. I have confidence he'll make it work somehow. I spend at least 30 minutes talking to him about ellen's latest episodes and Portia's book.
Thursday- Today. Walked out to my car this morning to drive to work and forgot about the spoken word cd still in the car. Turning on the car and hearing ellen (instead of all the war/protesting/politics that have been on npr lately) surprised me and made me smile. Got home from work and watched the rest of yesterday's ellen and have today's on pause so I could write this.
Obsessed? Obviously. But she makes me smile and laugh. Who doesn't like to smile and laugh? I think I'll watch Finding Nemo tomorrow.
