Besides NOT (not! not!) drinking, I've been watching lots of TV. Ridiculous, copious mind numbing amounts of it. I mean, it's shameful how much time I spend, plugged into the boob toob. But, from what I figure, I owe myself boob time. DEFINITELY toob time. Imagine my dismay, after ONLY having access to what AFN deems entertainment, at 8:00, otherwise known as *prime time* . I mean, I can barely remember to go to the bathroom in between flipping through such gems as "Big Brother 5" "The Surreal Life" and "North Shore". Dear Lord, help me, because my opposable thumbs are just going to shrivel up and fall off if I don't (Yes, I'm using my outside voice now) PUT DOWN THE REMOTE AND BACK AWAY VERY, VERY, QUICKLY. Those loving e-mails? To my adoring husband? Have become detailed lists of what I watch and mini-plot summaries. Thank God he loves me, because I think I would (What's the correct terminology? Oh yeah) kick my own ass to the curb *cough cough*.
But humor me for some more minutes, if y'all will. I was watching the commercials. All of them. Because they fascinate me. Like a stripper's boobs fascinate freshly drunk frat boys (And yes, I have many friends who resemble that remark) . I was watching the one for McDonald's. With the two above mentioned frat boys sitting on a couch, getting ready to have a party. So they rapped a little bit, and then simultaneously (at least I can still spell. I'll always have that) whip out their cell phones to call their posse. Then....AND! FUCKING! THEN! they make a food run to McDonald's so that they can feed their hungry drunk starving horny friends (although not in that order) McDonald's. Am I the only slapping my forehead in disbelief here? Am I? Am I (Because if I am, I don't want to know) ? When was the last time y'all want to a party, frat, college, or otherwise, and were served McDonald's? When? Who the hell is their AD Agency? Apparently not the same person who came up with "Just do it." I'm just sayin' y'all.

Commercials are weird... Have you seen that old guy on the Six Flags commercials? He creeps me out...
I agree with Chad.
Especially as an Air Force wife... who spent the most of last year away from Gary.
Alex if you're not busy call me tonight. We'll do another girl chat... sounds like you need it..
Speaking of commercials though.. that MTV one where the old man falls over and pretends to have a heart attack and the family freaks out and then he starts laughing and says "I punked you. I punked all of you" is HILARIOUS!
Speaking of too much tv... My daughter can recite the lines to most of the 7th Heaven reruns!! Agghgh!
And speaking of commercials... My favorite, hands down has got to be the latest Dairy Queen Moo-lotta commercial where the blind-folded lady runs into the plate glass. Priceless!!!
The Six Flags commercial is just too creepy!
I'm very jealous. VERY jealous. All I have is AFN and if I see another "Shaping of America" Fact-o-mercial, I'm gonna scream!! I keep telling/begging my family to send us tapes of REAL commercials, but I think they think I'm joking. :S
BUT they are taping BB5 for me! I LOVE THAT SHOW!!
Hang in there, Alex. We've both been blessed with separations where we were able to be in contact quite a bit, but I know it doesn't always make it easier. Easier than it COULD BE, I guess, but still a hard thing nonetheless.
And I haven't enjoyed ANYTHING about the new "I'm Lovin' It" McDonald's commercials. I have a whole different tirade about that, but I suppose it's for another place and time.
Thinking about you daily.
Sit me down in front of a TV, and I will watch nearly anything. It's really quite sad. I think that TVs emit evil addictive waves. I don't even have to enjoy what I'm watching, but I'll watch it anyway (there is a dearth of good programming, but the Food Network never fails to entertain me. But at home we don't have cable, so I will watch anything on NBC. Anything. Like I said, it''s sad.)
