Psych Edition
We had a good run yesterday. We did 4 miles–slowest, faster, slow, fastest–in 13:20, 11:30, 12:20, 10:45. I was a little disappointed because I had wanted my fastest to be closer to 10, but the run felt good.
The success of Big Brother always amazes me. You have to be a brainless idiot to watch that show. Last night, while I was watching, I could feel my brains turning to mush. I was thinking that if this year’s abusive misogynist wins, he should have to donate half of his $500,000 winnings to NOW or a women’s shelter.
I try to imagine being locked up for months with a bunch of creepy strangers with no books. No Books! No newspapers, no computer, no TV. If I were on it would be called Big Brother: Psych Ward Edition. Well…since you are allowed to bring the Bible, it would be a good opportunity to bring the Old Testament, Talmud, the commentaries. Big Brother: Yeshiva Edition!
There’s no contest–I’d much rather be on The Amazing Race. I have recently concluded that Harriet would be the perfect partner. Let’s make a video and send it in!

No books? Why? I suppose that would certainly rule out a lot of otherwise-smart contestants and just leave the dregs to be on the show. I’ve been musing on how rigged Last Comic Standing is. Nevermind who’s the funniest; who’s got the weirdest-shaped body? That’s your winner. Even if their ennunciation is so bad you can’t understand the jokes.

I think being locked up for months with a bunch of creepy strangers is usually referred to as “prison”. Except even prisoners get books. Whatever. People who participate in those shows are so stupid it hurts.

I’d take those splits anyday, Crank. Great job.
Here is my tip for reality TV - if you are interested enough to care but curse yourself on the time spent after realizing how stupid, schedule yourself for only the final episode. Often you get the highlights of the whole season condensed down into 2 hours. I did this a few times on accident, and felt like I ‘enjoyed’ the whole season with a minimal commitment.

I think I was on reality tv. I worked as a nanny and the guy had video cameras in every room. He did manage to strip naked in front of me on the third day I worked for him, but out of the range of one of the many cameras. I think the show was called “Nanny and the Pervfessor”

I’ve never seen the Amazing Race, but I’m up for anything!
