1. Downton Abbey: I can not thank Allison enough for introducing me to this lovely British early 20th century based show. If you love Jane Austen, give it a look.

2. Documentaries: My brother Jeff is the ultimate nerd and I have made fun of him many times in the last 6 months for choosing to watch documentaries....pretty much daily. (This is the result of having access to Netflix. It's a gift...and a curse) Imagine how I am eating my words now when the other day, a documentary about Egypt came on while I was hanging out with Jeff, and I watched the whole thing. Yes. It was shameful, but at the same time awesome. Since then I have watched another one about Egypt (don't blame me, blame my semester abroad for my obsession with anything about Egypt or the Middle East) and also one about Ben and Jerry's ice cream and how it came to be. In case you have not had a chance to watch these, let me share my new-found knowledge:

Egypt: They found a new shaft in the Great Pyramid of Khufu. They spent days designing a robot to go through the shaft so that they could see what was behind the blocked end of the passage way. They drilled a hole through it aaaannnnnddddd..............found another blocked passage way. They were all extremely excited about it, while I was frustrated after watching an hour and a half to find out what was behind it to find nothing. Oh well. Still interesting.

Ben and Jerry's: Basically they were 2 guys that had no direction (Ben teaching art after dropping out of college and Jerry being rejected from med school twice) and so they decided to start their own company. This one really was interesting too if any of you have 45 minutes to kill and a Netflix account.

3. The Bachelor: Now don't judge me. This is my guilty pleasure show. I have loved it for the last 3 years and I am not about to give it up. I mean, come on, how can you not enjoy the crazies that decide to go on this show? If they decide to go on national television, i reserve the right to watch them while on my couch in my sweats and critique every action and word that comes out of their mouth. Also on that topic, I think Ben is a tool and he is going to choose Courtney, who is a woman tool, and they will not make it to After the Final Rose. Also, how weird was the vow thing with her this week?? Right??? Super weird. And the fact that he didn't think it was weird makes him weird.
