Being sick sucks. I've been feeling sous-les-temps for the better part of a week, and it sucks. I've been drudging through the majority of my classes, skipping those I find less worthy, and spending the rest of the day how I please. Having little energy, "how I please" usually involves food and television. Any combination of food and television usually involves Rachael Ray in some capacity.
I love Rachael Ray. Every day, this woman makes an indelible impression on the legacy of cooking shows, and food in general - I myself own several of her cookbooks. I have yet to use them, but I own them and that is what counts. Rachael Ray has made cooking fashionable, and that is always a good thing. Who doesn't love a delicious and easy 30-minute meal?
Lately, Ms. Ray has gone a bit overboard. Rach launched The Rachael Ray Show, an Oprah-like show where Rachael interviews celebrities and discusses weighty issues (Mena Suvari and teenage plastic surgery on the episode I witnessed) and follows up with a quick and easy 15-minute-meal. What reason does she have to do this? I was satisfied having Rachael teach me how to cook quickly and eat on a budget. It seems now that I have to deal with her doling out life advice as well.
This is Rachael's world. We just live in it.

wow. joe is in love with rachel ray. i'm pretty sure he'd leave me for her, but i do like her as well. so i guess joe, her and i would be good friends. even if the bitch stole my man. anyway, i digress. i read angry amazon reviews on one of her cookbooks once, because peole said the 30 minute meals actually took longer. that kind of made me laugh.
but i second the opera-weirdness motion. cooking was enough.. i can do without the interviews.
ya, that was sort of the point of posting. then i realized that only 3 people would see it, none of them being from OCU housing.. heh.
