slippery slope

i can't believe i'm addicted to a tv show. first it was lost and now it's heroes. what has become of me?

i have never been one to make plans around tv shows. usually, i have no idea what time or day different shows are on. in college, i went without a tv for most of my four years and didn't miss it at all - i know i was better off without it.

not that i think tv is bad, but when it takes priority over going out and interacting with real people or takes priority over talking to a friend on the phone that one hasn't talked to in a while, i think there's something amiss. i suppose people make a social event out of it, and that's trying to combine the two worlds - "Lost night" and whatnot. somehow, it's not quite the same tho, when the friend interaction involves staring at a screen together.

i know - millions and millions of viewers nation and worldwide tune in every night. and there's the huge industry tied to it. but somehow, i'm still not that comfortable turning into a couch potato. there's much more out there to see, do and learn. keep the addiction away!

ah, sigh. perhaps i should just resign to it. i am old now. i am a working person again. the power may be too strong to fight. a sad state of affairs. at least i can finally be a part of the water cooler chats.

and more importantly, who do you think is gonna die in the next episode of Heroes?
