“And if they hate, let ’em hate and watch the money pile up”

This past weekend, Philanthro Seattle trekked up to Ellensburg to get our inner hillbilly on, and float along the Yakima River. It involved plenty of booze, slightly to moderately soaked banh mi sandwiches, a gnarly foot gash resulting in stitches, and ample evidence that none of us know how to correctly calculate the current, distance, and time it takes to reach a designated drop off point.
Boyfriend and I share a lot in common, but what we watch on TV isn’t one of them. Quite honestly, the only times Boyfriend has ever insisted on the channel is during football season. All other times, he has no trouble relinquishing the control over to me… to which he gets the raw end of the deal, since I admittedly watch a lot of “bad television”, like Hawaii Five-O, or Cougar Town, or endless reruns of Friends. He suffers through them because he knows it could be far worse – I could really be into The Bachelor, or the Kardashians, or anything on the CW. It’s pretty rare that we find a show we both equally enjoy, but we’ve managed to find two:
And I’ve realized the reason we’ve found common ground with these two is that we enjoy shows where the protagonist intellectually (and often, emotionally) obliterates everyone else. This would explain why we both love and miss Ari so much. I would recommend checking both shows out if you haven’t gotten into them already. And also, disregard the reviews on The Newsroom and give it a chance (it has its flaws but the repartee is so damn good).
I’m currently working on a few projects that may or may not distract from “regular” posting, but if you felt so inclined to follow up on my most exciting life, check me out on all the other social media platforms!
