I have finished my writing for the day. (Word Count, 40,358) It is cold outside and it’s Sunday afternoon. Hubby went off to put in a water filter system in the kitchen of our synagogue and I am home alone. I thought, oh well, maybe I’ll watch some television.

Bad idea.

Here’s what was on:

A biography of Ann Landers.

A movie about a single mom which two precocious kids. Oh yeah she’s a psychologist who works in a prison. (riiiight).

A show about two guys who like movies, and they film it in their bedroom reading emails that they get from people about movies. Huh?

Some guy slobbering into a microphone, “singing” lyrics that make no sense whatsoever.

A game show for kids where the questions are asked by a giant model of an Inca idol.

A program about going clothes shopping with a gay guy.

An old Burt Reynolds movie.

An espionage movie filmed in a depressing city in December. (there IS no other month in espionage movies.)

A cowboy and indian movie.

A Mel Brooks film. (…..saints preserve us!)

National Lampoon’s Vacation.

Golf.

Home Shopping Network, selling some pink earrings that you CANNOT live without!

Celebrity Home Tour. (I didn’t know the celebrity though…)

Little Women…… Thank God, SOME sanity Marmie!

Football. Kansas City playing someone else…. (does it really matter?)

Oh, here’s a good one, I can buy a counter top cooker to roast a side of beef in. It does everything my oven does except, well you know, it does it on top of the counter. For only 4 easy payments of 39.95 !

A program about people who come and transform your back yard into ShangriLa while you are out getting bread and milk at the corner market.

The Bachelor. (Gag me with a spoon…….quick.)

Some Japanese people swinging on a rope across a mud puddle trying to stick their velcro covered bodies onto a large board.
(I’m NOT making this stuff up!)

Cartoons. (Tom and Jerry)

And finally, last but not least, a Soap Opera. (On Sunday?…. yep, just in case you missed it last week I guess. (Marsha has amnesia…. Again….. I think…..)

I don’t know about you. But I would rather eat a bug than watch these programs. And bugs aren’t even kosher. . .

Well, maybe I’ll watch Little Women. But it’s the one with Susan Sarandon as the Mother. She seems about as maternal as a drill sargent.

Oh well. I think I will bundle up and go outside and play. Or work. Or eat bugs. But I’m NOT going to watch any more Television today….
