U Can't Watch This

Stop! Cable Time!
HBO and Playboy, Showtime and MTV
I might like 'em more after my lobotomy
Now why did I ever pay for this junk?
I hooked up eighty channels and each one stunk
Just brainless blood and guts, and mindless T & A
It's awful, it's putrid, it's crummy, it's stupid, gonna throw my set away

Someone stupidly scheduled TV Turnoff Week for this week, when there are new episodes of American Idol, House and The Office. Lost is a crappy clips show this week, but if it weren't a crappy clips show it would be a repeat so that doesn't even enter into discussion. Anyway, in case you haven't guessed, I'm not playing along. But what I'm going to try to do is to get out of the house in the evenings this week. Yesterday I went to a reception honoring our student workers. Tonight... I'll come up with something. Even if it means taking my book and reading somewhere outside of my apartment, I'll do something in the evenings besides going to the library or the grocery store or sitting around my apartment watching The Teevee and/or surfing the Internet.

Then when I am done with that, I will come home and watch The Teevee and/or surf the Internet.

My Get Out Of The Apartment Activity for the day was to go get a cup of tea at a local coffeehouse and finish my book. In getting out of the house, I managed to indulge in a little eavesdropping... [Read More]
