Big Brother 5 = Freeek Show Maximum
May. 31st, 2004 02:48 pm( Big Brother 5 )
Having a tv in the house is a mixed blessing. On one hand, our living room suddenly has this big metallic grey box in the middle of it, emitting it's magnetic fields at us, distorting our brains, our attention, making us watch crap just because it's on. And forcing us to play lots and lots of videogames.
On the other hand, it's nice to have dinner and sit down in front of colorful images. It's nice to watch movies or reality tv shows less than 5 feet away from our eyes. It's nice to know we belong in the human race again.
I still have piles of books to read, and every determined cell in my body ready for writing that piece of erotique fiction. I'm still a firm believer in living a life outside the box.
But, for now, Kevin and I take hour-long visits to the park then head back home to stroke our lovely new possession.
