IT'S TUESDAY? I THOUGHT IT WAS MONDAY!

But first, here is a photo of film actress Mira Sorvino.  Mira Katherine Sorvino is the daughter of film and television actor Paul Sorvino.  Essentially, Mira Sorvino is second generation Hollywood royalty.
Gentle Reader, have you seen much episodes of the reality television game show The Bachelor and it's spin off The Bachelorette?  I'm not sure if anybody who qualifies to appear in the reality television game show The Bachelor /The Bachelorette actually qualifies to get married to anybody.  The Bachelor/The Bachelorette is an exercise in superficial emptiness   Not only does it depict love and romance in the most superficial sort of manner, but it encourages deception, lying and backstabbing as mandatory requirements for winning.  The most ruthless in deception, lying and backstabbing gets to marry either the Bachelor or the Bachelorette.  Yes, such behavior is great for winning a reality game show, but it's lousy for an actual wedding between an actual married couple where truth, honesty and loyalty is the most important.  Also, all of the Bachelors and all of the Bachelorettes are always white.  98% of the contestants are also white.  Ok, you might see a Hispanic-American here and there.  But such contestants are never taken seriously.  You'll never see an African-American Bachlor/Bachelorette with almost entirely African-American contestants in African-American related settings.  Also, catch phrases such as, "I think I'm really falling in love with the Bachelor/Bachelorette," or "I'm really interested in taking this to the next level," keeps getting thrown around every ten minutes or so.  I'm interested in seeing if such catch phrases were ever intended to be taken seriously or if it's only being said to stay in the competition. 














I didn't see much films starring Mira Sorvino beyond her performance as Linda Ash in the Woody Allen film Mighty Aphrodite.  She also had a role in a huge filmography that includes the film Quiz Show.  Either working minimum wage or seeking minimum wage employment tends to be time consuming.  Not that I'm complaining.  Minimum wage employment is fun and enjoyable.
