Television Watching On Hiatus

Silk Willow — Sun, 19 Nov 2006 06:40:39 +0000

This site is on hiatus right now given so much going on for your author, yours truly, and not enough time to spare for serious television watching that would provide me ammunition for some decent and credible reviews. So I apologize for the inconvenience and the lack of posts here but I’ll be back at some point. For now, please join me at The Digerati Life, where I’ve been hanging around and regularly posting.

Give Me A New Reality Show I Can Sink My Teeth On

It looks like this blog is going to be a casualty of my progressively taxing schedule given that I am in the midst of a hectic and uncooperative software release (read: my job) at this time. My TV watching is paying the price and I’m not necessarily miffed by that, since there is nothing too interesting in the networks and fall lineup thus far. As just another starstruck fan of people making fools of themselves in talent shows or maybe just an admirer of rags-to-riches, making-of-a-star themed shows celebrating people who are honestly talented, deserving and personable, I patiently await the rekindling of American Idol and spectacles of this nature. The reality show is only as good as its guests, contestants or players and without more unusual personalities with the gleam of the X-factor supporting them, I am inclined to pass over the couch for now.

Not to worry. I don’t see a silence in this place for too long for as soon as some rousing (or truly ridiculous) new program comes along, I will be back. Till then, I’ll be hanging out at My Left Brain.

Ridiculous Heat

We’re in the middle of a heat wave right now. Yesterday, the temps broke all records. It sucks to see the yard roasting away after having spent mucho dinero on it. We can’t even watch television. And I need to shear the cat’s coat at some point. This is crazy but the only thing crazier is hearing how New York has had no power in a week with this kind of heat. That makes me feel just a bit more appreciative of the aging lines we have conducting power erratically into our neighborhood. Yes, I’ll take the power surges and flickering lights anytime over no power for a week in the middle of the worst heat wave we’ve ever experienced in July.

Gee I’m just so tickled how my $500 a month utility bill makes sure I only have to wait 2 hours each time for service to be restored. And service interruption only occurs between the hottest hours of 4 pm to 9 pm three times in a day. Yes we are so lucky indeed.

My First Attempt At This

If you can believe this, I have been in the technical field for 15 years and have made a decent living in it, yet haven’t been in touch with the latest web trends. So I’m trying to do some catch up now by trying this out. Hope I’m not too boring.

I am trying out new templates as well to see how it works. Let’s see…
