Ted Lassoed My Heart (And I Don't Care Who Knows It)
The Super Bowl is coming up. Want to know how I know? My book club is choosing a date for our next meeting, and the organizer mentioned that we can't meet on February 7th because that is the day of the Super Bowl. My first thought was, 'wait, the Super Bowl is still a thing?' closely followed by my admission that, of course, it’s still a thing. Lots of people love sports and sports games. In case I'm not making it clear, I am not one of those people.

Something Borrowed and New
Perfectly shaped snowflakes are dancing through the mid-winter air softly caressing your perfectly shaped and rosed cheeks. Your elegantly tailored, blush embroidered dress trailing behind you. Something borrowed. Something blue. Something new. Followed shortly by an, "I do."

My Hero Academia
A specific “guilty-pleasure binge” would not describe my relationship with my favorite television shows. First of all, my personal relationship with TV has changed drastically since the Coronavirus pandemic began. I think a lot of us can remember a time when there was nothing left to do. Your house had been cleaned at least a dozen times. You’ve tried all of the new meal recipes you could manage without starting a kitchen fire. You’ve video chat all of your friends and family so much you didn’t care to see their faces for another minute; it was only a reminder of how you couldn’t be with them. So, as the biggest streaming platforms report, we all began to binge watch any and everything that could help us escape for even a moment. I won’t go over the stats because this article is about my guilty pleasure- not the Top 10 rankings on Netflix.

Kitchen Nightmares
For years, I saw Gordon Ramsay as a villain. On Hell’s Kitchen, a reality cooking show competition, he was and still is portrayed as a passionate, perfectionist chef with a fiery temper, directing expletive after expletive at some donkey (GR code for ignoramus). I remember watching the Hell’s Kitchen commercials and hearing all the bleeped out swearing thinking, “Oh, what a terrible man. Ugh! He’s so angry and foul.” He’d explode at these actual professional chefs he considered inadequate, often incompetent (who may not have been that bad, but he certainly reacted to them and their cooking that way). I just couldn’t see GR’s appeal, like who enjoys watching some volatile British man slandering and demeaning people who are earnestly trying their best.

Captain's Log: A Bunch of Our Ship Fell Off, and Nobody Likes Me
My childhood was spent primarily in jean overalls and oversized Starter jackets whilst riding a bicycle that I thought defied the speed of light. It was a time before smart phones became the most coveted possession. It was the dawn of reality television, online shopping, and music that defined teenage angst. It was a time to be daring, a time to push the limits of standards and practices of public broadcasting. Nightly news shows were the first time I ever acknowledged current events, though most of it went over my head. Sometimes I glanced at the television whenever my parents watched Seinfeld. I wondered how they could watch something so vapid. Fast forward to now, however, and I will tell you with a smile that Seinfeld is sitcom royalty.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer
I first saw most—if not all—of the episodes of Season One of Buffy the Vampire Slayer on television, presumably around the time they first aired. At the time, I was an elementary school student in Grade 2 or 1. From the very beginning I thought it was an exciting, thrilling, and enjoyable TV show. Other shows I liked at the time included Sailor Moon and ReBoot. Of course, Buffy the Vampire Slayer wasn’t animated and felt more sophisticated and grown-up. For whatever reasons, after my mother and I moved to another apartment building with her boyfriend, I did not continue watching any of those shows and only started watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer on DVD in my early teenage years.
