Hello again,
Tomorrow is supposed to be a massive snowfall (4-6 inches.) Public transportation may be shut down due to the 'severe conditions.' Bah those crazy Brits. I'm hoping I get snowed in so I can stay in and lounge around. Actually I take that back because as much as daytime TV in the U.S. really sucks and is depressing, it's even worse in England. Imagine, if you will, old (and I mean very old and dated) episodes of Sally Jesse Raphael, Rikki Lake with a peppering of Jerry Springer. No joke! I nearly forgot about Sally Jesse's big red glasses and shoulder pads (back in the eighties.) Those were the days when episodes like *gasp* 'I hate my moms boyfriend' and 'Teen moms...Who's the Daddy?' were big time news. How did we get to a place where taking a paternity test on TV no longer sparks our interest? Shame on us. Shame Shame.
Also there are countless episodes of 'Friends' on TV. I mean in 2009 it's just not that funny anymore. Monica's OCD and Rachel's 'woe is me' attitude doesn't cut it. Needless to say, I miss American TV. Send me updates if you have them I'm dying to hear how the Kardashians are doing.
London Snow
Sorry Sally. Your time is up.
Ahhhh, yes i remember the days of quality British programming when we had just 4 channels, and then everything changed with the onset of the "cable tv" model... what country did that come from again?????... hmmmm ... never mind dear, you'll pick up the accents soon enough and be able to understand all the cool british shows :O) ... Oh and the impending snow storm!!... Brace yourself England! it is actually quite ridiculous!
