TV

I do not watch TV, there is simply nothing on which even intrigues me in the slightest.  I will sit and work on my computer (which I have done far too much of this year, just to keep it up!) while Youngest Daughter watches any of the bevy of programs which do capture her attention.  Not in any order: The Voice, The Bachelor, Cake Boss (?), Big Bang Theory, and on and on the list goes.

She got me somewhat hooked on Alaska State Troopers, the show is so appalling in it s look as to what the population, or maybe just the seedy underbelly of Alaska looks like.  I have been to Alaska and marveled that there simply appears to be no one living in Alaska whom is not of the criminal ilk.  Sorry Sarah, I have to wonder about you as well.

And occassionally, Big Bang will have accidentally hired a writer whom is capable of more than Hollywood sexual innuindo culture and will be witty - but by and large that show is utter  - well, its not Scottish as my great-grandfather was prone to say ...  sorry Mike Meyers, you did not invent that phrase either!

But, I did watch The Batchelor this week.  I have no idea what YD sees in this show but she is rivetted to the TV with her box of kleenex and booing want-a-be farmer boy.  Sorry I grew up on a Danish farm, so if this is farmland USA's best product ... no wonder we get most of our agriculture from New Zealand and Chile!  Gees!  Personally young women of this country - you really need to discover what values are, so that you can spot a poser when you see one!  GEES!

Then I also watched The Voice.  YD is hooked on Russell Wilson of the Seahawks, Sam Hunt (?) and Blake Sheldon - and in that order.  Yes, she is sold out on country western  - uhm - music but not as much as she is in highly muscled quaterbacks - LOL.  Some people on that show actually had talent and you have to assume that they are either professional and trying to get ahead or might actually have talent.  But, the line up of "judges"?  Pompous posers, the lot of them.  Closest to what might be a normal person is Blake, but I know nothing about him and really do not care to either.  But, the other three - whom I also know nothing of - avoid at all cost!  BLEECH!

Thankfully I was gone almost all of yesterday so did not have to be subjected to anymore of her horror shows she watches ... except for Alaska State Troopers ... almost addictive, if you let it.
