I finally caught the MTV Movie Awards. They were great. I enjoyed the opening number very much. And the take off of the summer blockbusters. I’m easily amuses it seems. If all the programming on MTV was of a similar caliber to that, well, then I think I’d be back. Not that they really want me. Just my money. I’m so out of their demographic. I’ll just watch the occasional Real World and Osbournes and be happy. I also have to question who the hell picked the girls to rush whatever Sorority they are doing on the next big MTV reality show. I’m sorry but every one in the commercials got hit repeatedly with the ugly stick. Is this what the proud Greek tradition is coming to? Ugly slutty girls? I mean, whatever happened to all those girls that were Dismissed? Couldn’t they make it to a call back or something? Stupid Commercials. I was watching live TV as opposed to “my stories” so I didn’t have the commercial skip. Actually, I’ve been watching less and less television of late, sticking to mainly DVD’s. I told the Tivo to stop trying and cancelled all my favorites out. I’m not even using the thing, which is sad. Like my Palm Pilot, I thought it was the greatest thing ever and now it’s just taking up space in the A/V cabinet. That’s not entirely true, it did catch the awards for me. I guess I’ll go whisper sweet nothings into it’s ears. I’d rather it didn’t develop a complex. My DVD player is a bit of a curmudgeon and doesn’t play well with others. Aside from the MD Deck it’s the oldest piece in there and also the most used so it likes to throw it’s weight about. The absense of television hasn’t opened up any dramatic blocks of time with which to better myself or anything, which I find annoying. I, in my naivety believed that I spent way too much time in front of the television when I could be out doing productive things. That’s not really the case. The list of projects that was too take up that time remains unfulfilled and I havn’t noticed any moments for reflection or anything. It’s a little bit frustrating actually because I don’t have a clue where my time goes. Suddenly it’s late and I’m tired and the alarm is going off to start the day over again. Granted I do a lot of driving and I do have a lovely social calendar. But that’s not any different than the norm. I am, or at least liked to consider myself such, a pop culture whore. So I try to keep myself current. Not by watching Extra or E! except for mocking fodder. The pulse that they are connected to couldn’t be monitored. It’s like getting your entertainment news from the AARP Monthly Mailer. Joan Rivers included. I’ll just have to go out less. And try harder to watch Jackass rather than act like one.
