Dinner last night was souvlaki, salad, and chips from the nearby cheap-ish Greek joint. David had the same thing but with felafel instead of souvlaki. (Same, same, but different.)
I'm still keeping company with Crunch at his house. We have access to cable television, which means that I've seen about thirty episodes of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit in the last week. I love me some L&O:SVU. That, and Sex & the City. I'm a sucker for that show, too. The rest I can take or leave.
What else have we been up to? Seriously, not much. Television is a time suck, yo. A major time suck. I haven't even been to the studio except once, on Saturday, for about three hours.
How do people who have televisions ever get anything done?! I mean, the internet is bad enough. The internet plus television is deadly. Soul-sucking. And yet, here I sit watching Brad Pitt on Inside the Actors' Studio (pretentiousness squared, then filmed) while I type up a blog entry.
I'm feeling very cynical these days. I'm feeling very, very cynical and it's a bit ouroboros-y. (Like Lily Tomlin says, "No matter how cynical you get, you can never keep up.") Can I blame this on television?

chica!!! I insist you paw up that remote immediately and press the OFF button!!! then stand up and walk out if the room where the tv lives. take deep breath. do something, anything else. negative headspace will begin to clear! I promise.
whenever I overindulge in tv or internet I feel like shit about myself after a while, and like any other addiction it's seems impossible to stop! I lived for a decade or more without a tv (and this was before the internet even), and I remember those days fondly. there was a whole lot more star gazing and pond swimming and rain dancing going on. more SPACE. xo
I agree completely! Dave and I haven't had a TV in almost 15 years. But this housesitting gig...man! I don't know why anyone needs 300 channels!! I'm waking up with a cable hangover almost every morning. Cable binge in progress!! Ugh. (x_x)
