Since it has been so long since I have been able to just sit and watch a bit of television, I think about my reasons for not having satellite in the first place. All day the television sits on, not with me actually watching anything, but catching bits and pieces of whatever is on throughout the day.
Yesterday though I grabbed the remote, and started scanning through the guide. I came upon a familiar station, and an "ahhh" managed to fall from my mouth, followed by a long sigh, then the word "Lifetime." My daughter just looked at me and shook her head. Women and our obession with Lifetime television, she hasn't quite figured it out yet.
Today, with remote in hand, I turned the channel from the cartoons that the kids spend watching before heading off to school to my familiar station once again. I watched (on and off of course) a movie called "The Killer Within."
I happened to notice a small detail in the movie. The lawyer who's wife died (the rich lawyer I might add) had a lamp on his desk exactly like the one I have on mine. This goes to show how "real" television shows are not. This lamp I purchased at Wal-mart, although it is a nice looking lamp, I am sure that it was quite inexpensive. There is no way that the woman in that movie (that spends $600 on a bottle of perfume) would allow a $20 lamp from Wal-mart to sit anywhere in her home.
I really need to stop watching television again.

Having a toddler has mostly gotten me out of the TV habit, except for occassionally late at night while he is sleeping. I'm at a point now where if our TV magically disappeared, I wouldn't miss it.
Well because I am not working lately, I have more than enough spare time. I start classes tomorrow, so that will keep me a little bit busy, until I get back to work.
