We were upstairs last night trying to get James' new computer in some semblance of shape and didn't come back down until it was almost time for the news. So I just popped the television on and left it on NBC; after all, you can stand anything for fifteen minutes, right?

What was on was the most mind-bogglingly boring thing I'd ever seen, some new reality show called The Restaurant. I kept checking the wall clock for the entire fifteen minutes. Some guy named Rocco was never around and some waitress was getting reprimanded for not following someone around--maybe it was Rocco. Then at the end some guy who needed to shave had an argument with another guy. One of them was Rocco; I never figured out which.

I guess someone is watching these fool things, judging by news reports, ratings, and the conversation on rec.arts.tv that actually goes on between the slimy racial bigotry posts, but I can't imagine why.
