For the past few weeks every Tuesday, I've headed over to my friend, Brooke's, flat to indulge in some terrible but much needed American entertainment: The Bachelor. We watch and then discuss Who will Chris choose? We will usually have scones, cinnamon cake and blueberries or pasta salad (something to nibble on), but we will always have tea.
It's hard keeping up on American TV shows over here. We usually have to watch something a day or two later than everybody else (if we can find a site to watch it on). Even then it is difficult finding people to talk to about it because it's usually "old news" to people in the states or due to the time change, they're still sleeping! And it's not like Aaron wants to watch the Bachelor with me...
The Golden Globes, the Oscars, all these award shows, we watch clips of the day after so we know what everyone is talking about. I woke up this morning and our cousin and his girlfriend had gotten engaged (congrats!!) and the internet was in a roar about a white and gold dress (yes, clearly it is white and gold). Basically, what I'm trying to say is that Aaron and I have come to expect that we are usually a little behind when it comes to current trends or exciting news.
But that's okay. Because for those two hours on Tuesday, I've really come to enjoy indulging in a little piece of terrible but wonderful American entertainment while sipping my British tea... and having someone to discuss it with afterwards. It's the little things : )
