    found myself really energized by the engagement in is watching Real Housewives- any city. I started watching the show when I was younger with my mom and I got hooked. I talk about the show a lot; I leave hanging out with my roommates when it is on because I can’t watch it with other people talking. One day in early October the channel the show is on, Bravo, wasn’t working on our TV in Sunchase and it was all I could talk about for days until it was fixed. I usually watch the show by myself, unless I’m with my mom. The two seasons on right now are New Jersey on Sundays at 10 pm and Orange County on Mondays at 9 pm. I don’t use my phone or flip back and forth between channels in case I miss something in the episode. I get really annoyed if for some reason I can’t watch the show that particular night. After the show, usually the next day my mom and I will discuss what happened on the show the night before. If I am at home when the show is on then my mom and I will discuss the episode for a good 30 minutes afterward. Also, Andy Cohen, the producer of the real housewives franchise, has any real housewives on his show at 11 pm then I will watch that. Usually the guests will discuss the drama that is going on in the show, there is often a poll that the viewers vote in about some of the drama- like who do you think is right?- and you typically get a sneak peak of the next weeks episode. I am clearly Bravo and housewives obsessed. This diary entry about my engagement with…

    Once Louis CK has presented the audience with the comic idea, he attempts to generate further laughs through the technique of acting out. The transition from narrator to character makes the performance more entertaining as the story is being brought to life. A key moment is Louis CK’s impersonation of the conversation between the “Batman” and the “Desperate Housewife”.

    the longest he took to remember that I need to be picked up. It was early into the year of 6th grade- the first year of me not being at the same school as my sister. According to my dad, because he picked up our neighbor that day, he had three kids in the car. In his mind, this meant he had done his job and nothing was forgotten. Something was forgotten however; that something was me. I waited an hour, and then another, until eventually he remembered that I existed and came to retrieve me. The…

    As everyone was thrust to the side of the compartment, the wood began to splinter, causing a apprehensive uproar. “Surely it’s going to give way,” one voice said, waveringly. “Who cares… we’re all going to die anyways,” another retorted direly. Many doleful comments followed, but Elise couldn’t bear it anymore. Shoving her way to the spot closest to the splintering plank of wood, Elise took a shaky breath. Normally she was a very rational person, but as they say: desperate times call for…
