This week, I ended up watching a lot of TV I can't believe I watched. My cousins (and NOT my step-brother's cousins) were on "The Family Feud." I thought that show went off the air when Richard Dawson died, but apparently there've been a lot of hosts since then - I think the order goes: Dawson, Richard Karn, Spike Lee, Justin Bieber, John O'Hurley (don't quote me on that). Once I spotted someone I recognized and then realized I'd never met the others, I went for a run.
I watched "America's Got Talent." There was a guy named Doogie who was trying to do stand-up comedy in front of the worst crowd I've ever seen. I've done stand-up. This made my stomach clench. I had nightmares. That's why I write jokes for others now and that's why I ended up watching the dreadful "Last Comic Standing." I know some of those guys and I have to see if anything I wrote makes it on the air.
If you watched the last episode (and why would you?) you actually got to see that most elusive of creatures - someone Steve dated exactly once [speaking of myself in the third person somehow makes it hurt less]. Looks like she pulled herself together, or at least wasn't drunk during the audition for once. She would do anything to be on television; she was on MTV's "Road Rules: Australia" in the last millenium. There's footage of her on the internet, trying different types of feminine hygiene products while driving through a car wash.
Class act, all the way, that one.
And I didn't even know her with the bad red hair dye:

I've been writing my training schedule for the fall marathon. It's taking forever and I'm only up to August, so it's slowly dawning on me that I have a long, long time to prepare. I think I scheduled an easy day somewhere in July.

Well ... don't be coy. Did you Bust That Punk?
Ah think you know what Ah'm talkin' 'bout!
hey, i have a GREAT training program for a fall marathon I could send to you :)
I was horrified about that girl sailing around the world before she even left.
I can't believe the parents wanted her to do this.
And.....
Great new show on Spike TV. "1000 ways to die".
Best show on TV
You have lead an interesting life, SQ.
So, I know it isn't crayola red, but at least I am not grandma gray. :)
I think THEEEE worst part of us keeping our patients hostage for at least 5 days in the hospital is the horrendous TV they get to watch at 2am when they can't sleep because really, who gets sleep in a unit when the monitors are going off all the time and every conceivable machine decides to go alarming as soon as it somehow detects that a patient is about to enter the restorative deep phase of their sleep?
@RBR: I haven't led an interesting life (unusual, perhaps); if you didn't notice, I spent my time watching TV.
