SIDENOTE: the bachelor bad ... and other things that take up my life

You never want to seem ungrateful for all the cool things you get to do, but I'm ready for summer to wind down.  It's really such hard work between all the beaches, travel, weddings, birthdays, roadtrips, etc.  More importantly, I can't wait for college football season to start and to have a Sunday to myself.  Of course there are plenty of engagement parties, bridal showers and bachelorette fiestas to attend before next summer's eight weddings ... but let's take it one month at a time.

• Remember when I told you I almost signed the lease on an apartment because it had the perfect address (and nothing more).  Well it's official - I'm living at that perfect address, only across the street.  Walk in closet, and what my brother and I deemed a beving room (bedroom that doubles as a living room).  I got the keys yesterday and move in in the next week.  Oh, and my neighbor has an LSU mat outside his door.  We probably won't get along once I order a Penn State one to match.
• The BlogHer conference was a great learning experience.  Become a blogger, make business cards, send yourself to the conference and grab lots of free shit.  
• So I watched The Bachelor Pad last night since I had requests from readers to provide commentary and a recap. It's a big commitment to have to take notes during an hour, sometimes two hours, long show - but I figured I'd watch episode one and then decide if I could do it.  Not. Impressed.  Not impressed at all. I'll give it another try - since there seems to be a bunch of girls professing love for men on the first day and that never works out well. But a few things to note:
• I love how C Harrison passed the torch to Melissa because he's over the bunch of morons that are about to live in this house.  And should a pregnant woman be exposed to these kind of STDs and stunts?
• How all of a sudden is Jessie the most popular bachelorette ever?
• Who invited the 65 year old divorcée from a season when most of the current viewers were in middle school?
• Weatherman seems to think he's going to be hooking up in the house.  I seem to think his forecast is way off.
• Another Bachelor private concert by a washed up band?  Lifesize Twister board? Come on guys ... you could do better.  Learn from MTV what a real challenge looks like, or at least get some Justin Bieber up in the joint.
• Craig M. and Jessie's dance scene (read: I'm going to dance with you but you're so creepy I'm sure as hell not going to make out with you).  Second.hand.embarrassment.

Alright.  Things will hopefully be a little slower and I've got some photos and posts coming your way.  In the meantime, leave your Bachelor Pad comments below.  Did you enjoy? Does it have potential?  Did you just reclaim your Monday night back?
