in other words...they had an hour of free airtime

what has happened to television? there used to be shows with writers and actors. now, there are reality and "talent" shows. reality shows are shows set in reality with guided scripted, easy ways around paying talent properly because the shows are technically not scripted. we see adults who are encouraged to act like feral children.

talent shows are really freak shows. tonight's fare including some fool putting hooks in his eyes and a contender for a darwin award who jumped from a 30ft platform into a pool with 12in of water.

this leaves me wondering...where is nero playing his fiddle and how long will it take for rome to burn?

The Cherry Popping Post

This is the first post of my new blog. Honestly I have no idea where I'm going with this thing. Part of me wants to blog about all the crap I watch on television. Another would just love to blog about crappy employers and provide a place where people would be able to check a potential employer's reputation based on feedback of current and former employees. And yet another part of me just wants to talk about my life. Of course there's all the time I spend involved in theatre that could be talked about. Can't forget mental illness, debunking the myths and stereotypes is near and dear to me. But who knows!

How about just something for fun today?

My new favorite obsession...hulu. I can watch Buffy and Monk all day at work. Provides a great escape from the stress of my day. Just tune in, slap on some headphones and go.
