Inconcievable!

For the first time in a few years, I did not attend a 24 hour game day.

It 's not that I didn't want to go, but I woke up Saturday morning and decided that I wanted to clean up the apartment. It's nowhere near done, but I did get a lot done. I also made plans with Heather for the night time, so by the time I was worn out on the cleaning, it was time to get ready and go to her place.

I've decided that her and I can't watch movies unless it's in the theatre. Everytime we've tried to watch one at her place or mine, we just end up talking through the whole damn thing. I was trying hard not to talk this time, as it was a Woody Allen movie I hadn't seen. It just didn't work though.

Then after that, it was mindless TV. The show "Next" on MTV. All friggin' night. If you've never seen this show, they take a man or woman, and then five potential dates for said contestant. The five potentials sit on a bus. I have guessed that they have a gas leak in said bus, because the people act so stupid while on the bus. So, one at a time the potentials come out of the bus, and do some sort of crazy thing with the contestant. At anytime the contestant can say "Next" for them to go away. For any reason. Usually, this leads to some witty banter between the two people. Such as "You're ugly anyway!" Now the potential gets a dollar for every minute they were on the date. If the contestant decides they like one of the potentials, they can give them an option. They say "We've been on this date for (insert amount of time) minutes. Now you can take the money equal to the amount of time, or you can go on a second date with me." Now here is the part that drives me insane. We've been watching this date, for the past ten minutes or even less. When the question is postulated, they give us a flashback of the date! I've been watching for the past five minutes, I don't need to be reminded. Is this how bad the memories of America has become.

But this show is like a train wreck of stupidity. It's so dumb, you can't help but watch. Plus, you can almost tell that the whole damn thing is scripted. I'm not sure on that, but I've got a hunch. Also everyone that is on the show is so damn arrogant. I want to be on the show so I can say "Honey, I'm slightly overweight, and not that attractive, plus I snore...oh, and I...um...drink...a lot."

Anyway, watched that for a good three hours or more. Yes, it sucks you in. Beware the show "Next".

No 24 hours of games for this kid though. Maybe next time.
