Just finished watching the second parter of Oprah's "Most Memorable Guests." James Frey was the guest. His book 'A Million Little Pieces' was/is one of my favorite books. I bought the book after it came out that he lied about half of it. I didn't care. I have never read a book that fast. I've even started to read it again. Out loud. To Jeremie. Romantic, right? Instead of reading poetry to my love, I read this guy's memoir of his drug addiction. In between James Frey's dreams of doing lines of cocaine and snorting glue, there is poetry in the middle of it all. Somehow.
Anyways....I thought it was awesome that Oprah apologized for the way she treated him on the show. He lied. He admitted it. But queen Oprah was going to make him feel more humiliated than he already did. I can't wait to see what her words do for that man's career.
So, May 25th is Oprah's last show. That got me thinking...who are we going to turn to? Who will tell us what to read, what to like, what to eat? And what to BUY!? Where will pregnant women go in hopes to go into labor without Oprah's Favorite Things show?? How will I know when it's that time of the month, because of the tears streaming down my face while watching a "I use to be fat makeover show" ? How will we live?
To be honest, I tivo Oprah everyday. And we will all miss her. But it was time for her to back out. It was like she saw me cringing every time she screamed out her guest's names...you know how she does. I got really annoyed with her eating habits. And how she hums while chewing. How many ways can you redo fried chicken? "Fried chicken!!! Fried chicken for everyone....You get fried chicken...and you and you!"...
Oh yeah, and the camping documentary because "I'm black and I've never been camping." And Gayle. Don't get me started on Gayle.
So goodbye Op. Thank God (I mean you - so easy to get you two confused) you started that other channel. I'll be watching.
