May 26, 2003 // 12:24 a.m. // A day of television
I spent most of Saturday night watching this on ABC Family. My choice of television shows is slowly going downhill. Still, I must admit that by the time I was about three episodes deep in this marathon, I was silently screaming at America during the finale when they voted off Kira and then Monica (and not Natalie who I so couldn't stand) in American Idol-like style. I headed to the trendy coffee shop during the finale (after they were voted off) and let the VCR capture the thrilling conlusion to this show that had already taken three hours of my life away but that I couldn't leave not knowing who won. As much as I love the trendy coffee shop, I see the same thing there every week. A group of people who play chess and the bystanders who watch. The teen girls who are fresh from the pages of a fashion magazine, and as a result seem so out of place. The pink-haired pop-punk princess and her effeminate male friend discussing her relationship (to everyone in the room) in a volume three notches above everyone else's. Boys who stand at the door outside (people watching?) who are too cool to go inside but not cool enough to smoke the cigarettes likely in their pockets. After an hour of writing in my journal here, I took advantage of the warm weather and walked around the city. My only concern was finding my car if I left it. If I can't navigate myself out of a somewhat foreign neighborhood while in my car, how was I going to find it once I left it? I guess the first answer would be "don't leave it parked in front of a random house on a random street in the part of the neighborhood that always confuses you." I returned to my car before I could lose it. Did I also mention that I also watched the WB's Charmed, Gilmore Girls, two episodes of The Simpsons, pieces of the Indy 500 and Coca-Cola 600, a BYU broadcast on the dangers of cyber-porn, a local interview with a war vet that still thinks that people in protest of the war don't support American troops, the Powerpuff Girls movie in addition to my usual Sunday morning lineup of Sports Reporters and Outside The Lines? Like I said. With the exception of a few of the shows above, my television choices are really starting to slip.
