Just a quick rant about cable television programming. I'm not one to put my nose in the air and haughtily sniff that I never watch TV. Ours is on a lot - actually quite often we have two going at the same time (because dead cowboy shows make me crazy as does this very odd car-makeover show that always ends with the surprised owner bursting into tears over his newly renovated GTO or whatever). Whatever.
Anyway, back to the subject of this particular rant. I am often awake in the pre-dawn hours and if I want to snag an hour or two more of sleep I will head to the couch and turn on the tube with the sound off - instant snooze! So, did you know, though, that on one of those home decorating channels there is a show called Million Dollar Homes, or Million Dollar Rooms, something like that? It is so incredibly bad in every way. I had to turn the sound up so I could try to figure it out. The host is an idiot, but that's beside the point. The Million Dollar Rooms were so hideously ugly I figured it had to be a joke. It was garish gone wild, and this toothy goon-host gushed all over the owners, most of whom looked pretty garish themselves -- tucked, plumped, dyed and bedazzled. Sad and captivating all at once.
Just another chapter for my forthcoming book, "There Oughtta Be A Law..." --cds
