The Feeds

BB Obsession

I have a new obsession. I can’t believe I’m actually telling people, but I’m truly hoping that admitting I have a problem will be the first step to curing it. Try not to judge.

I am addicted to…Big Brother.

I blame Kelly for it. A couple weeks ago when we went to UCLA for the last time, we watched Big Brother while we were in the hotel. I happened to catch it the following Tuesday, and it’s been a train wreck ever since. I just can’t look away. I sit there Sunday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, week after week, exclaiming how my IQ is rapidly dropping, and yet I’ve done nothing to stop it. In fact, the sickness is getting worse. After weeks of maintaining control, and staying away from the online live feeds, I succumbed to their brilliant stupidity last night. THREE HOURS I spent just watching them (and playing Mahjong on Pogo). I was appalled with myself when I realized how long I’d been sitting there watching them. I had dreams that I was in the Big Brother house last night, and when I woke up, the first thing I wanted to do was check the feeds and see if anyone was awake. I refrained, though, as I was already REALLY late for work. Thankfully, the live feeds don’t come through at work, so maybe I can get it off my mind.

I’m a little sickened by this obsession. There are so many other good causes I could be using my energy on, and yet this is what I choose to do.

And now if you’ll excuse me, I have Big Brother forums to read, so I don’t miss anything.

Britney? For Real?

I think of so many wonderful things to blog about while I’m sitting in my car driving around. And then when I get home and I’m in front of the computer, I draw a huge blank. I have no beautiful children to blog about like my idols Amy or Heather. I have no craft projects like eleventy-billion other bloggers. I don’t care about politics, don’t know enough about computers to write anything of interest. I really don’t have a whole lot of interesting things to say. I can talk about my intense love of the Wii, and how it’s turning me into more of a geek than I’m currently comfortable with. But do you care? Probably not.

So, today I’m going to talk about something that I really couldn’t care less about, but will hopefully get me some hits to my page, and then people will read the archives and love me and want to stay around to read more. (Hey, I can dream, can’t I?)

Britney Spears. Let’s talk about that trainwreck. Actually no. Let’s not. Let’s talk about the fact that our society has sunk to such a level that Britney losing custody of her kids was a headline story on CNN! CNN people! This is not TMZ. This is not E! Entertainment. This is supposed to be a serious news network. Serious being the key word. Why oh why is it important that she lost custody of her kids? Did no one else see this coming? Was this supposed to be some sort of revelation? Something to shock us? I don’t understand how we’ve come this far. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt adopt a kid every 15 minutes. It’s never been headline news. It’s been a big story (why? I don’t know) but it’s never interrupted the flow of life. Britney gets hers taken away, and they break into songs on the radio to report it. Are you kidding me? Is there really nothing better for people to talk about?

I’m disgusted.
