tv

it is the essence of bullsugar, and far from the best, but the mostly superficial crust of human emotional mucous and the card or video games played when you are sick at home and looking for distraction... on another level, it is trashy candy, the junk food diet of the typical usa taste buds, the burgers, fries, tacos, jelly beans, marshmallow flush of the mind... and while i know the waste it can be, i can choose to enjoy and even appreciate the distractions and sweets and fried fats that bloat the body and head in the form of television programming...

i prefer to share the viewing experience, but even alone i can choose a few shows to suck in my brain, to absorb memory cells and motivate me to want to watch a continuing story... and over the past week i've tentatively chosen caprica and 24 (tentatively because i've only watched two episodes of the first on the internet and three of the second and might easily forget to find myself in front of a tv when these shows are on next, but i know i can find them online in the middle of the night or whenever i have a few hours to watch...

it would be nice to find a friend who shares the specific personality traits that interest me most (and if that could be someone who finds my specific personality traits most interesting and attractive to her, ah, what a wonderful life this could be) and i'm not even sure if the superficial pablum of television drama and comedy is any measure of compatibility (in so many ways it is not, and yet, it is a way to pass the time together and i'd like that), but i think i might watch some tv this year... oh really?...

yeah, the news is out of the bag, so how's your cat? :)
