Archie to Marry Veronica?

I don't get it, WHY is this news? On every single news website, and TV news. Its on. I DON'T understand. I get that after 70 years this FICTIONAL character has made a choice. But I mean come on. And its also the fact that Im a Betty fan I think that I don't really like the news.
On another note, I'm re watching 90210 the original series, it makes me laugh how many stars have been in this show, and how they begin at such a young age.
In the past month Ive seen 3 movies:
Wolverine - Ok
Star Trek - Fantastic for what it was
Terminator - I liked it for a movie, not part of the series.
I got a promotion for lack of a better term at work. ... . but I will update on that later.

This is a quick update for now.....I promise for a real one soon.

Recipe number 1, Garlic Rice Pilaf

Recipe number 1, Garlic Rice Pilaf

1 cup of long grain brown rice
2 cups of water
2 tablespoons of oil *your choice but I use Olive Oil
1 heaping tablespoon of minced garlic
1 cup of minced veggies (peppers, celery, onion, carrot, anything that you want, I used the frozen spaghetti veggies.)
1 tablespoon of white wine.
1 tablespoon of parsley
Salt and Pepper to taste.

Make the rice by following the instructions on the box, I use a tablespoon of oil instead of butter.
In a saute pan saute the garlic first, use the remaining oil UNLESS using pre-cut packed in oil minced garlic.
When slightly browned add the parsley and saute.
Add the Saute the veggies with the garlic until soft, add your salt and pepper to taste.
Right before adding it to the rice add the tablespoon of white wine. Scraping all the brown bits off the pan and getting all the flavor from the pan.
Once the rice is cooked and almost all the water is gone add the veggies to the pot and stir.
Let it sit for another couple of minutes to get rid of the last remaining bit of water.
For pizazz when serving place some fresh parsley on top.
