i'm in madison this weekend for my sister's college graduation. it was a whirlwind weekend - lots of food, friends, and relatives - and an excellent time was had by all (or at least that's what we can gather from the lack of leftovers). tonight i wanted to take a quick break from the action - watch a bit of TV before heading downtown to hang out with my sister's friends. i fixed myself a bowl of cereal and got in perfect lounging position on the couch. i clicked on the TV using the remote , only to find out that our satellite was NOT working. (later i found out this was because the whole system had been screwed up when we watched 'hot fuzz' on the DVD player on our other TV the night before.)
out of the 950 channels we are supposed to get, only 1 channel worked on the TV: CBS. at first i wasn't too upset. maybe 'csi' or 'criminal minds' or even a rerun of 'two and a half men' was on. but then i saw fringe and cowboy hats and heard twangy music. it was the american country music awards - LIVE from las vegas. ugh. i immediately uprooted myself from the TV to the computer. i have a decent tolerance for pain, but everyone has a limit. mine is easily reached when carrie underwood steps onto a stage with a sequined microphone.
