Wicked Attitude

E! News Daily and The Daily 10 are the exact same show.  Are you appealing to those with ADHD who couldn’t pay full attention the first half hour with a “new” show with new scrawny whores spouting off the exact same stories?  I don’t purposely watch these shows.  I typically tune into them when I need background noise (or an apparent excuse to wear down the number of hours my new TV will function).  I just wanted to bring this to your attention in case you weren’t aware you’re airing the same show with two different names and thinking people don’t notice. 

Okay so I’m an admitted tightwad.  I have a pay as you go cell that I keep charged but never on me because no one needs to get ahold of me that bad.  All of the latest technology doesn’t really impress me much so I don’t understand lines where people get the first generation of new uber phone, TV, etc only to have the price lowered within 6-12 months by potentially hundreds of dollars.  I’ve never been overly impressed with the idea of HDTV and I knew eventually I’d break down and give in to the DH’s whimpering for one.  So we buy a 37″ LG 1080p HDTV and I’ll admit, it’s beautiful.  We knew after seeing the crappy analog feed from the cable company we’d have to break down and upgrade to the HD channels to take full advantage. 

One that we kind of laughed at was Food Network HD.  We thought “really?  Why would you need to see Food Network in HD??”  Now I know.  OMG.  I just watched Everyday Italian and am now watching Barefoot Contessa and I must say if I knew it wouldn’t leave a mark on the TV, I’d have licked the screen.  It feels like you can reach in and grab a brownie.  I may even try to.  But if you’re debating getting an HD TV, do your research, get nothing less than 1080p and make sure you get Food Network HD if you’re a foodie…you’ll be staring at food porn all day.

We recently had an incredibly long travel day with United Airlines.  Well it would’ve been a long travel day with any airline but I’m calling out United due to a bitch you’ll encounter when we’re on the San Francisco part of the story.  I should’ve known it was going to be a particularly stellar day when while on the flight from Hawaii to San Francisco we were seated behind a grotesque couple in their late 50’s who insisted on french kissing the first 20 minutes of the flight.  Yeah, picture that for a second.  Your mom or grandparents depending on your age going at it like a pubescent horndog and hair chewing child bride.  It was as horrific as it sounds.  As if that wasn’t bad enough…
