Summer can't come soon enough to save my sanity.

I just watched Entertainment Tonite and the continuing saga of the
multi-millionaire marriage, A Day in the life of Monica Lewinsky-hosted
by Tom Green, Martin Lawrence and his near death experience, and
something about a fictional movie about Jon-Benet Ramsey and a "real"
interview with John Ramsey, are the topics.

The edges of reality are blurred. Help.

Tom Green is bizarre- but funny.

Compared to this kind of shit- TooL seems like apple pie.

Any thoughts?

I just watched the same show with rubberneck/car wreck syndrome... Ya just
can't look away. I also watched the marry/multimillionarre special when it
came on. Well, not all of it--just the last 1/2 hour or so. I asked my
brother...when will this story die? He said, as soon as america
collectively grows a brain.
So, never, then.
*shrug*
I watched it too, so I'm partly to blame. Bad rash!

Yeah - Mike but the problem is .... I - was - reading a book at the
same time. TV sucks so bad that I rarely watch it, but I had 20 min.
of down time and while reading the book happened to see this shit.

My daughter leaves the tv on while she's on the computer- and she likes
me in the same room - she hates to be alone, so I am a captive audience
unless I want to hear rants of my being anti-social.

I got rid of the other tv in the house - I sold it to a guy who offered
me $40.00 for it, figuring I'd never go for it. Little did he know,
that in the year and a half I had it in my bedroom, it had only been
used a few times.

My thoughts. And this worked very well for me... I have grown and changed a
lot since this epiphany.

Walk up to your television. With both forearms grip it like you would a
loved one about to fall, pull it close to you like a weeping child. Turn
your torso so as the TV turns with you. Do this until the Television is
facing the wall. Unplug it and proceed to set some flowers on top of it.
Walk back to your sofa and enjoy a good book.

Liberation. You'll like this.

You don't have to get rid of your tv. Just be more selective about what
you watch. My recommendations include, the simpsons, futurama, the
sopranos, any decent standup comedy, most comedy central programming,
the hitler oh, wait, I mean history channel, and nature shows on PBS.
Most of the other stuff is just brain softener.
OBTool I predict that tool will someday have their own annual
christmas special on network tv. Then again, I predicted that Perot
would be president too.

Guiseppe-

Yea! Simpsons- I love Homer.

Yea! Sopranos, I'm glad a don't have a mother like Tony's - Oh wait - I
do.

These happen to be the two shows I try to watch if I'm bored. I also
like Sex in the City, when it's on.

Masterpiece Theatre pisses me off because everything is done in several
parts and on different nights, so I never get to watch the whole
performance from beginning to end -I Hate THat.

I think they rotate the series, maybe Sex in the City will be on again
after the Sopranos.

Everyone in my family is a Yankee fan except me- I lived near Fenway
for about 5 years and had season tickets. I even quit my job one
summer so I could go to all the games. Ahh, what a life.

Every baseball season there's bets on Yankees vs Red Sox - I also have
a brother in law who's a Red Sox fan. So it's two of us against 10.

I used to follow B-ball when I could go to the games - when I lived in
Buffalo and then moved to Boston. But I haven't paid attention to it
in years.

Football just doesn't do anything for me nor does hockey.

OBTooL; At the concert that I went to Maynard was in a good mood and
told us that he would change his underwear, so those of us that were
going to the next night's concert wouldn't be offended. He's such a
gentleman.

Whatever happenned to Carrie and Co. anyway?

I'm pretty amazed at how similar our viewing habits are, or maybe i
shouldn't be considering we're in a similar age group.. heh.. but I also


watch a bit of live sports - mostly Yankee games, and some football and NCaa
basketball, when its competitive, but that's it.

OBTooL: ABC once considered doing a pilot called "Maynard's rotting shorts",

The only sports I watch regularly are boxing, kickboxing, and Muay Thai.
I can't get into team sports on a regular basis. Sometimes I'll watch a
football or hockey game if my friends want to, but I prefer one on one,
fighting based sports.

Is that like 'Mai Tai' without the umbrella?

But what about the Thunder? Ya never know when the next Nomar will be
passing thru, or when J Popper might whip out his harp on a national anthem
or something.

I lived near Fenway for 2 years - in Warren Towers (Tower A) of the BU
campus my Frosh & Soph years. It was especially kewl when the BoSox won the
AL Pennant and fans rampaged thru Kenmore - i actually witnessed mounted
cops trampling unruly fans.. thats one to tell the grandkids.

I assume that means Basketball - so how does Buffalo tie in?

Yeah, well, i like it for the sport of it - strategy, brute strength, and
athleticism - not the grunts and smacks and trash talking. Show me the
monkey! (psst, btw not a racial slur; jesus i'm sick of PC)

Hay is for Horses,


I used to follow B-ball when I could go to the games - when I lived
in Buffalo and then moved to Boston. But I haven't paid
attention to it in years.

I assume that means Basketball - so how does Buffalo tie in?

My grandfather used to take me to Memorial Auditorium in Buffalo to see
the Buffalo Braves, I remember when Kareem-Abdul-Jabar was known as Lew
Alcindor. ( I grew up with mostly male relatives- I was the only girl
among among grandchildren so I got to "play with the guys" instead of
with dolls).

Maybe, that's why I grew up with the internal mantra of "I will not be
domesticated".

Boys always seemed to have more fun than girls.

JoAnn (who is suffering from gender confusion- just kidding- I checked
the necessary parts- I AM WOMAN)


OBTooL- I think Maynard must have gender confusion - he dresses up in
woman clothes - but he appears to be a ...BREEDER- Quel Horror!! I have
no clue if my spelling in the gallic language is correct.

JoAnn - signing off in a goofy mood- back to serious social worker mode.
