Parks and Rec 6x01 is going to happen in London! A one hour premiere which happens largely in Europe, in London, with some of the best characters on TV! I cannot wait to see Leslie, Ron, Andy, April and Ben take on London and British culture. I am anticipating nothing but laughs and enjoyment and I cannot wait to see their take on British culture - the accent, the tea, famous monuments, the Queen, the traffic, the metric system and everything else. This is the show premiere I am looking most forward too of all.
Parks and Rec continues to bring me constant laughter and gives me a great to think about. So much in fact that I will be writing a term paper about Parks and Recreation looking at it from the viewpoint of feminist literary theory and how feminism is portrayed in the show.
And I am totally loving the fact of being able to use a show I like so much for a uni paper :)
And today I learned the lesson of not eating while watching my favorite TV shows. I was eating an orange and I laughed so hard when I saw Chris Traeger's excellent dancing skills in episode 3x10 (he's got dancing skills like a Nordic person (no Nordic person can dance)), I almost spit the orange out. This is a lesson I am relearning all the time with all my favorite shows.
But on the other hand, I am happy I have discovered shows that make me laugh so hard and grin so much. Humor, laughter and smiles are very important to me and it is nice to get such sheer enjoyment from TV.
And to add to this: My journey into the English language continues. One word which I have struggled with learning is the word 'reciprocate'. I am familiar with the word but my vocabulary understanding of it is still getting up to speed. I am still having a bit of trouble associating it with its meaning 'to respond'.
But thanks to Parks and Rec, I now fully get the meaning of it. In episode 3x07 'Harvest Festival' April says angrily that (paraphrased): "perhaps he (Lil' Sebastian) ran away because he tried to tell someone his true feelings and the person did not reciprocate".
A light bulb went on in my head. I finally gathered what the word meant. So now, thanks to Parks and Rec - I understand perfectly the word 'reciprocate'.
Ah, I do love it when TV teaches English :)
