I've Been Watching Too Much "Friends" Lately
Even though I've said I'm going to try to not talk about the breakup anymore, it's kind of hard not to. We were together, more or less, for about six and a half years - that's longer than a lot of marriages I know (not talking shit, just making a point).
Last night I got too drunk for my own good. And I got angry, in the depressing way. And while I definitely think I have a right to be angry (I'm not giving details, it's between her and I, there's plenty of reality TV for everyone that wants to see some angry drama), there's better ways to handle it than I have. As in last night I unfriended her and most her family on Facebook. It was an awkwardly petty thing to do, but for some drunk reason seemed like a good idea. Anyways...
Like the title says, I've been watching the show Friends. I wasn't really able to get into it when I was younger and honestly I'm still not sure about the show. But it's the one show that somehow I can just watch and it doesn't bring up lots of sad memories of my ex.
First and foremost, I'm really enjoying looking at Jennifer Aniston - How Brad Pitt went from her to Angelina Jolie is still beyond me. But more entertaining than that is watching the show and seeing how fashion and technology have changed over the years. Like holy crap, how did we ever think what was fashionable in the 90's was actually fashionable!? I mean, it was still better than when we thought was fashionable in the 70's, but still... And the technology, holy crap; they were using beepers on this show! I'm not saying beepers don't have their place, but that place is with medical staff and special forces troops and the rest of us are so lucky to have the phones we do now.
There's also an episode in which Robin Williams and Billy Crystal make a cameo and I'm not going to lie, I teared up seeing Robin Williams on there. And there's an episode with young Ben Stiller - seeing that made me feel old. Actually, there's a lot of cameos on that show. Just like there was with ER. I thought tons of celebrity cameos in popular shows was more of a modern thing, but apparently I haven't been watching enough TV throughout my life.
Anyways, Hamlet still won't watch the show with me. Usually when I put Friends on, he leaves the living room, goes to the bedroom, and lays on the bed. I don't know if he actually doesn't like the show or he just still isn't used to the idea of it being only him and I on the couch. I'm going with the former as one way or another he's going to be stuck with the latter.
