news and television
I turn on the television this morning, and for awhile there I thought "The world is going to end." The Lebanon and Israel situation is too complex to make a judgment call on. All I know is that the whole thing is fucking scary, as seen by how far both sides are willing to take matters.
On the home front, the Australian government gets more embarrassing.
Somber matters aside; while on the bus yesterday I overheard a conversation between three girls that were around 12-yr-old or so. Their topic of conversation; miscellaneous television series, in the time span of 20 minutes I learned all I needed to learn about The O.C., Prison Break and 24. This is extremely significant as I have never seen more than 5 minutes of the stated series. I do admit, I learned more about The O.C. than the latter two series as the girls were much more interested in the drama of good looking youths. Anyways, apparently, in The O.C. Summer is cool, Marissa is depressing, Seth is a dork, and Ryan can’t seem to decide what he wants, and that there was a girl called Anna (Anne?) who people seem to have differing opinions on. I comment on this because the conversation reminds me why I stopped watching T.V.
… Except I caught one episode of Smallville yesterday, and if the overheard conversation on the bus didn’t remind me on why I stopped watching T.V., the badly written angst on Smallville has reinforced my view.
Also, television makes me mad, just ask the boyfriend. I get more snarky and more vicious in my commentary.
