Wednesday Evening:
jenji spent a full minute watching a frenzied contestant on a television show make a desperate attempt to bounce six separate marbles into six separate thimbles.
The suspense gave me a stomach ache. Truly. Or was it the production value itself? I feel as though I've been injected with synthetic adrenaline via the remote. I feel violated. Yuck.
That's 60 seconds I'll never get back.

And you are so SMART, otherwise... seriously, watching that kind of crap just kills your brain cells. ;-)
Is that what it's come to? Marbles and thimbles?
But then again, a game show that uses dollar-store paraphernalia as props must have the lowest overhead ever.
(I must know: did the contestant succeed?)
I hate the length of time it takes for the DVR to wake up and take my request to change the channel seriously after turning on the TV. Whatever happens to be playing as the TV comes on gets cemented into my brain cells while I'm frantically pushing buttons to get back to safe HGTV (why doesn't the DVR allow you to set a default channel???). So just think: It could have been much worse.
We live in a grand and glorious age. Someday we'll look back and realize how good we had it when nimrods bouncing marbles in to thimbles was on TV. You'll see.
