Ran-Dump Tuesday
Song of the Moment – Honestly by Annie Lennox from her Bare album (Or, as David and I like to call it, “Welcome to Dumpsville, Population: You!”)
Have you ever started filling out a survey only to find that your answers are even boring you? SNORE! The high school survey…yeah….hmmm…. High school in Iowa is downright dull, even if you are the most popular person in the entire history of the school (which I was!) So, on that survey, I politely demur.
And the theatre survey? Yeah…you know what; I don’t come here to think!
You ever notice that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line??? That’s amazing! I’m a genius!
OK, I just got a call from David asking me who some guy on TV was. Ummm, yeah. David should know I do not watch TV unless I am over at his house. The stupid thing is; some neuron somewhere deep in my brain had the information he was looking for, but it was buried. He knows I read books and watch plays and listen to music, but I don’t watch TV – why did he ask me?!?!? Shouldn’t someone who watches TV as much as he and his roommates have this information more accessible, like in the front of their brain? Instead of going to the socially backwards TV-tard for the answer??? I watch TV so little, I’m lucky I know what a remote is. Yeah, and David used to call me up just before I went to bed and ask me who was some actress who played the maid in some 1940s melodrama with Paulette Goddard and Charles Boyer …. ARGH!!!!! So, I’d stay up all night trying to remember… Thank God for the freakin’ internet. (Eva Puig, by the way, in Hold Back the Dawn, And the TV name David was looking for: Bill O’Reilly, and I wouldn’t watch his bullshit program even if someone rigged A Clockwork Orange type torture for me with him playing 24/7, so why do I remember his name!?!)

Chill Pill, Killer Bill.
It has nothing to do with you watching TV or not. I knew Bill O'Reilly has been in the news lately and that you are aware of who he is. I just couldn't produce his name and needed it quickly. I never accused you of watching him - forgive me for considering you "up" on things and able to retain 2 or 3 of the names in the news. It's not like I called to ask, "Who played that bit part on the new episode of Hot Properties last Friday?" I know better than that.
And, make no mistake, Mr TV Snob, you enjoy TV when the programming is good. Like Weeds and Lost. I wouldn't say you don't watch TV; you actually don't watch your TV.
So are you coming over tonight to watch Little Britain? I've got like 4 episodes. You totally gotta see it.
