Ellen's show came back yesterday, and she talked about it. "The truth is I am that person that you see on TV," she said. "I am also a lot of other things. Sometimes I get sad; I get mad; I get anxious; I get frustrated; I get impatient and I am working on all of that. I am a work in progress, and I am especially working on the impatience thing. And it's not going well because it's not going fast enough, I'll tell you that."

First things first, you need to drink out of a water bottle to figure it out. For some people, it's straight up into the air. For others it's staring at the water in the bottle.

It's such an unconscious thing we do, and you never really think about where your eyes go during the process, but once it's brought to your attention, it's all you can think about!
