what to watch today: Friday the 1st.

Happy New Year everyone!
It's 2010! I can't even believe it. If you're awake,
Enjoy the Rose Parade on the big screen TV that Santa brought you. :) It's just one of those traditions you gotta keep alive. I went to the Rose Parade the past 2 years... I think I'm probably fine with not doing that again for a while. It's usually freezing... and you get squished into the bleachers with strangers so tight it's definitely not comfortable. Although, my Dad really did enjoy seeing that Navy jet fly by.

TODAY:

NBC: 121st Tournament of Roses Parade at 11a

what to watch tonight: New Year's Eve 2010!

When I was 18 and had just moved to Southern California, I was starstuck as could be, and jumped at the opportunity to dance on Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve party. As a kid, watching the countdowns were the event of New Year's -- at least for a nerdy kid like myself -- so being about to be a part of one sounded pretty perfect. [Spoiler alert: Yes, the L.A. segments are pre-taped!] So on an early Saturday morning in December, my dorm roommate and I drove up to L.A. in our "party" outfits, and nervously waited for direction. They reminded us that "everyone" is on TV, and to keep smiling, and to keep having fun. But after a long 14 hour day of standing around watching Hall & Oates take their mark, I was pretty much over the whole TV taping thing. And naturally, it kind of ruined the experience of watching Dick Clark's Rockin' NYE. Now each year I can't help but judge the suckers who got roped into drinking those empty cups and counting down that 3 week early 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1-Happy New Year!! I suppose the up side of the experience was the fact that I ended up being sick on December 31, stuck at home in bed. It was an alright consulation knowing that my TV self was "at the hottest of hot L.A. clubs" living it up, TV dancing, and drinking fake TV champagne.

Here are the NYE parties in a box for tonight!

This week: New Year's Eve

It's almost 2010! And there's nothing new on TV... unless you check out PBS. (They've got new specials every night this week!) Oh, and those silly sports channels do too -- There are some games of all sorts. Football. Hockey. Pick your addiction. I'm going to take the week off from TiVo and put my record player and new fondue set to use. To the 1960's, I go. But if you don't feel like doing that.. Here's a lovely New Year's Eve episode of The Hills.



Happy New Year, NOT so guilty TV readers! Don't be like LC. Get a kiss at midnight.
