Still looking to keep myself busy here during Fall Break. Today the quest involved TV. And awesome English shows dubbed into non-awesome German shows. For instance 7th Heaven became Die himmlische Familie, or the Holy Family. The episode: Himmlische Frieden or Holy Peace. K- i know the show is about an old-school religious family trying to fit in today's world, but i think calling them THE holy family is maybe a bit much.
Also seen today was some terribly subtitled dating show to find a mate for Tila Tequila. Apparently the sex of her potential mate didn't matter either. So she was busy playing both teams. But the people that made it onto her "date me" show were pretty weak sauce, the dregs of both teams if you will. you know- the kind that say corny crap like :
"oh man, i think i am falling for her. it's a pretty big deal because i've never said those words aloud about anyone"- from Tila's girl date.
PARENTAL CAUTION HERE- Tila's next date was a little more to the point
"I've been so excited about going out with you that i haven't PUT MY HANDS ON MYSELF in two months to prepare"- the male waiter from Milan. WTF??? Who says that either?
Thanks to MTV, i saw a lifetime of junk in UNDER two minutes.
After less than 20 minutes of channel surfing, i finally settled on CNN UK Edition for 3 reasons:
1) it was in English
2) it was the only thing on, other than home shopping, that did NOT offend me
3) I may not care about what was actually on the news but at least everday it becomes something new, unlike the washed up/washed out dregs from Hollywood that get airtime here.
Thanks to 40 channls of the same unworthy things, I think i can successfully say that I am completely recovered from my Television Addiction.

Hello Kristy's sister! At first I clicked on the link from Kristy's website as I had already looked at the usual links from her website if she has dissapointedly not updated. I thought why not this one, I wonder who it was. Then I began reading and thought to myself 'why this is quite hilarious, who is this?' Then as I scrolled down I saw you and everything was happy and made sense. The world is once again at a state of equalibrium and I have now found my new slacking off website bog. Thank you!
