because I just cannot shake the monkey on my back that is the entire Bachelor/Bachelorette franchise. They mess with people's lives (people who volunteer to be messed with, yes, but still) and yet I cannot turn away from the trainwreck.
OK. I just made a momentous decision: I am only going to let myself watch this show if I'm knitting at the time, so I can at least come out of it with something other than compromised moral principles.
Now. If you watched the first ep of Ali's season of The Bachelorette this Monday, you may have noticed the same thing I did: Many many of the men seemed to have Mom Issues. Dead moms, sick moms, moms who taught them manners, moms who were abandoned or mistreated by their dads.
I wonder why that is, or if it was just the particular selection of men who were featured on Monday. Will it come into play later? That Kasey guy is clearly a little off (and I thought that even before seeing the promo for next week)--he reminds me of the freaky intensity Jake had on Gillian's season.
I like the professional wrestler, personally. But my money's on Chris from Cape Cod.
I am a newly minted horrible person. Started watching the Bach (as we call it around here) last season. Could not look away. And now that you've clued me in, I'll be hulu-ing this season for sure. While I knit, naturally.

Moxie knits? Do you know about Ravelry.com?
It's like Ask Moxie for knitters.

I have returned to being a horrible person. I watched it 5 years ago and eventually kicked it like I was wearing The Patch. Jake got me back into it, and with Ali it's still a fricking sham. I only DVR it, refuse to watch it live. If I could pace a bet under an anonymous name in Vegas my money is on Roberto.

New injury cover old wounds, cover less, fix it, only the brave self-help is the only weapon. Love, there is always a hero and a supporting role, the protagonist is always tired, always supporting injury.

That looks just wicked diuoceils! Great way to use up that Butterscotch Sauce too, although her sauce recipe looks mighty tempting. Also good to know what to do when you don't have self rising flour, your cake turned out perfect.
