TV = HAPPY


Yes... this is the TV review section...

I love television. Television serves as a mervelous reminder of how capitalism works. Everything you see on TV is there because we, the people, demanded it.
Consequently, tv shows compete not only with each other for ratings and ad dollars, they're competing with movies... AND WINNING!
Every week when 'LOST' comes on, I feel like I'm watching a really great movie but with no crying babies or jabbering teenagers to ruin the experience.
But I digress...
I have watched a total of 3 full episodes (at most) of "American Idol", so I may not know what I'm talking about... but is it just me or does EVERY (with only occasional exceptions) singer ALWAYS perform either R&B songs?
I realize that R&B helps showcase your vocal range, but criminy are these people dullards... ENOUGH with the extended vibrato already!
Besides, there's LOTS of other music out there to show off your range... or could it be that my suspicions are correct: Most people have mind-numblingly dull tastes in everything.

LOL! You're blog entries are so entertaining to read, ^_^
But you haven't updated for a while (not that I have a right to complain considering my update record). Hope all is well! ::glomps::

So I am a bit jealous. While I watched "Lost" last week my 1 1/2 year old came tumbling down the stairs to join me. Ahhh, the freedom of being kid-free.

Your problem isn't the presence of a child... it's the presence of STAIRS!
Get rid of the stairs, damn you...
Oh wait - you live in Colorado... I guess everything needs stairs since everything is elevated...
