Blogging while TV watching*

Tyra Banks is a crazy person. You can see it in her eyes. Well, and notice it every time she talks. And what is with her giant forehead?

I saw, like, 14 seconds of "The Hills" today, albeit while watching "The Soup". It made we want to stab things.

"The Stepfather"? Didn't they just do this Creepy Suburbia movie except it was called "Disturbia"?

I am suspicious of commercials advertising any food as "Flame-grilled". Isnt' that what grilling is? I mean you could cook it on a flat grill which isn't really a grill. It's a griddle. Then you don't really call it grilled do you? It's cooked. Stop being redundant.

I often wonder how many people actually order the crap shown on late night infomercials. I mean really. And why do they have to be on at that time. If there's any group of people in the world who need good television programming it is the people who, for whatever reason, are awake at 4am.

Another deplorable tract of unwatchable tv is 3-4pm and pretty much all day Saturday (except adult swim, of course).

If you've never watched "Dirty Jobs" you should. I really enjoy the entrepreneurs, the odd jobs that you never knew about. Obviously there's a lot of dirty, grossness too. And Mike Rowe is a fantastic host; funny, personable, smart too (throwing out poetry or Dante off the cuff), and not a bad looker to boot. One of my coworkers is madly taken with him.

Now that I have cable again I can say that my tv watching habits consist mostly of documentaries and cartoons, and the Daily Show. And Pawn Stars. That show's pretty addictive too.

The other nice thing about cable is that unlike watching dvd's you get to the point where there's nothing good on anymore which tells you that it's time for bed. Good night.
