Well, I have a problem. I seem to have become hooked on reality television shows.
I blame it on the Writers' Strike. Since the few shows the family and I watch together had no new episodes, we were forced to find other avenues of entertainment. I mean, God forbid we should play a board game or go visit Mom or clean the house or something stupid like that.
That's just now how we roll.

And I was sad.
Enter American Idol.

(And yes, I said rock out. I'm allowed. I'm a child of the 70's, and we did that way back then.)
He sang with ZZ TOP tonight!!! For those of you who do not remember ZZ Top because you were in the pre-embryonic stage when they became popular, let me just say this; I pity you. The same goes for Graham Nash.
Not so much for George Michael.
Anyway.

We live vicariously through our television. It's really very sad.
I will now return to my regularly scheduled programming and fast from the reality for a while. Because after all, isn't that what television is all about, avoidance of reality?
I thought so.

I am generally not a tv watcher, but I am HOOKED on AI each year, try as I may to not start watching... I am also hooked on Lost. :)
Oh my word. If you're addicted I really need help. Around here it's AI. And now that that's over, Canadian Idol starts June 3rd. Then there's Dancing with the Stars, Amazing Race, and So You Think You Can Dance (once the stupid audition part is over, I really detest that part). Oh and can't forget Survivor (when it's not stupid). Never got into Big Brother, and totally hate the Bachelor/Bacheloretter, though. Maybe there is hope for me after all. ;v)
