If I were Catholic, I'd have to confess this...

I sat here. On the couch. For an entire hour. It's an hour I can never get back. Wasted. 60 minutes.

I sat here, cringing and snickering, rolling my eyes and making nasty faces. It was like watching a train wreck...I didn't want to watch the carnage, but I couldn't avert my eyes.

I sat here, an otherwise intelligent, witty, talented and motivated human being, and watched...

Tommy Lee Goes to College.

Throughout this reality television program about the former drummer of '80s heavy metal hair band Motley Crue and ex-husband of Pamela "Bouncing Baywatch Babe" Anderson, the following people were mocked:

- Blonde co-ed tutors
- Band geeks
- Nerdy professors in bow ties
- Intelligent overweight co-eds
- Marching band instructors
- The chancelor of a Big 12 university (Univ. of Nebraska)
- An overly tattooed, pierced, nicotine addicted, drug addled, washed up, mediocre 40-something who still guffaws at a horticulture instructor who talks about one plant species' "hairy buds"

And this viewing came two short days after watching the Roast of Pamela Anderson on Comedy Central. This much of Tommy and Pam within one week can't be healthy. I think I might need a methodone program and a round of strong antibiotics, just from watching.

I know you must think much less of me. I'll try to make it up to you.

Don't feel bad. Had I not been working I would've watched it too out of sheer curiosity. I have guilty pleasures of that nature. For example, I LOVED Sorority Life on MTV. *hangs head in shame*

Amy, I am dissapointed in you. But in your defense, if you're watching "regular" TV anymore, you're pretty much stuck with this kind of trash (or one of those stupid, predictable CSI/Law&Order clones).

But here's my nomination for "Worst... Show... Ever"

What could be more exploitive than a bunch of teens kidnapped with their parents' consent, abused and brainwashed, their travails made into a public spectacle.

Hair

This has become the age-old question...Why do men hate short hair on women? I've been thinking about this a lot because my current style, an angled bob, requires a bunch of fussing every morning to get it to do anything. My favorite haircut of all time, as far as ease of care, was my pixie cut. I loved that I could wash it, gel it, and be done. No blow drying or flattening or curling. Just gel and go. Very sporty. I thought it looked cute. My husband has another opinion. The longer the better is his motto. Thing is, my hair becomes an unruly, tangled, nappy mop when it gets long. If I had all the time in the world and Jennifer Aniston's budget, I'd be more than happy to grow it long and have others style it every day. In real life, I guess I'd rather go for comfort and convenience. And if you ask me, I think the pixie is dang cute. I suspect heterosexual men aren't hot on short hair, in general, because it's too much like their own hair. No matter how much jewel

Looking Forward

I just discovered this blog was still around (and miraculously, I remembered the password). I think I might kick the tires and take it out for a spin.  Our world has been in lockdown for a year, suffering a pandemic that has killed nearly 550,000 in the United States and 2.7 million globally. We've worn masks, maintained physical distance of at least 6 feet from others, washed and sanitized our hands, worked and schooled from home, dealt with (of all things) a toilet paper shortage, and given up most of our favorite activities (restaurant dining, movie theaters, live performances, family gatherings, and so on). We've endured people's stupidity, ignorance, racism, xenophobia, selfishness, indifference. We've also celebrated the "essential worker," those who put their lives at risk to make ours safer: grocery store employees, delivery drivers, healthcare professionals, educators ... all those whose jobs help ensure continuity of our country's infrastructure
