Hang low, thy honorless head.

here used to be a time, several years ago when I had risen above the plebeian desire for television and only watched DVDs. It allowed me to snobbishly dismiss all the lowly folks who still needed their fix of mindless channel surfing. "Did you see last night's episode of Matlock?" they'd ask, and with barely veiled superiority I'd reply "No, because I don't watch such trash."
Ah the heights I reached.
Tonight I write to expose myself and the shameful depths I've fallen to. Sally, in reprising the role of Eve in the Garden, picked a particularly fruity temptation from the Tree of (pretty much) Evil.
Every week now we watch Shear Genius, a show that profoundly destroys any semblance of respectability I gained from my once TV-less life.
I know the names of the contestants, and find myself giving critical attention to the various hair-dos they make every week. I'm familiar with the different sorts of "product" they use, and cringe when they eliminate someone in their "final cut."
It's shameful, I know. I can barely look in the mirror, except to make sure a dab of gel gives me the right amount of spikiness.
How far the mighty have fallen.

While rereading some of my old posts (I still crack me up) I stumbled on a comment by you and wondered what old Andrew was up to. Was he blogging again? Did he still own a Miata? Did he still live with that demonic cat? I clicked on your name and was pleasantly surprised to see a new look with fresh words. That was until I read this post...

Hey Brian - great to see you swing by. The miata is alive and kicking, and the site (only recently) returned from the dead. And yes, anyone who still reads the site has perfect reason to stop after revealing my sad TV habit.
Aww, come on - someone will read it. Google reads all this stuff.
Fancy comments are frowned upon - your WWW links will work though.

I had never thought of flinging feces, darn it, that would be much more entertaining than my usual method of arguing about politics, baseless accusations and bewildering metaphores.

I saw this as the daily photo, and it totally looked like a picture of outer space! But instead it's an egg on a car.
