a lazy monday observation

So after one of the busiest weeks of my life I decided I was going to spend Monday doing exactly . . . nothing.  For those of you who don't already know, Monday is the one day each week that I take off, so this week I thought it was important to not move. At all.  And there's something I've learned that I'd like to share with you.

Unless you are the most secure person alive, you should never, ever watch daytime TV.  Never ever.  Daytime TV makes you feel fat as you're bombarded with Dexitrim commercials.  Daytime makes you feel useless as you take in 16 variations on the DeVry pitch.  Daytime TV makes you distrust whole concepts of a love life or mental sanity as you watch three minutes of any soap opera on the air.  "I'll MAKE him love me, if it's the last thing I do!" 

Yeah, I'm not going to try that again anytime soon . . .

this is an amazing tv show...

"Heroes". . . ok, I hardly ever watch TV, but the premise of this show was so up my artistic alley (origin story, epic scope, etc.) that I had to check this out.  After the first two episodes I ready to pronounce this the coolest TV show any has ever even tried to produce.  The narrative reveal at the end of each episode literally has had me on my feet, pumping my fists into the air, just exalting in mad skills of the writers, directors and producers.  It's that good (but definitely not for the kiddies).  I didn't know TV had this in it . . .

Any of you seen it?  Tell me what you think by hitting the "Comments" button below. 

UPDATE:  This is probably the most violent show I've seen on network TV.  Not a show for the family.
