Rich people are better than us


You know what? I absolutely am getting up at 5am to watch the royal wedding. I know it's anti-feminist and anti-Republican (er, the Australian version therof), I'm going in with my eyes open, and I just don't care. I want to see the pretty horses and the fancy hats and the dress and tiara. I've always been fond-ish of the Royal Wales family; my mum kind of looks like Princess Di and my brother kind of looks like Wills. And an excuse for cake and champagne pre-dawn is never passed up. Especially 5am champagne that you had to *get up* for, not *stay up* for... mmm... sleeping. I might actually get a couple of those Dunkin Donuts commemorative donuts. And then I'll get a whole dozen more of the regular ones. Who am I kidding?

Now, what coverage should I watch? CNN probably won't turn off the scroll- which I truly hate- but might have some actual news and better close ups. Style Channel has a dangerously high chance of a Giuliana Ranic appearance, but will have better dress commentary. Is PBS doing anything? What about my beloved NPR? Do I get BBC America? Must check.
