Shoulda Lived in the '20s

When I lived with Sara, I routinely got sucked into garbage television that was nevertheless entertaining, if not only to make fun of it.

Since moving in with Hilda, who only has basic cable, I don't have as many possible shows to get attached to and not much time to do so if I did. At least half the time I'm in front of the tube, I'm watching my "Golden Girls" DVDs. ... But last night, I could NOT tear myself away from "The Bachelor" as ridiculous as the show is. I hadn't watched any of this season's episodes until then and was completely glued.

If you watched it, you know why, and if not, maybe I've persuaded you to look it up online. :) Either way, I advise you to not watch next season because you WILL get attached. How are such stupid, fake shows so addicting?

I should've lived in the '20s before television. ...

P.S. I just saw a commercial for Humira, an arthritis medication, and it shows X-ray slides of what can happen if you don't treat arthritis. Having four crooked fingers (although it's barely noticeable), it really scared me. What if I have premature arthritis and wake up one morning with 10 crooked fingers? Another reason to stay away from the TV.
