On the Box

OK, a few days later than planned, but have been busy and stuff, so I thought I'd get around to talking about TV since I've just watched a load of high-class rubbish. Been up since 3am this morning with work but don't think I'll go for a nap now, I'm always too wide awake when I get in and if I go to bed now it'll just muck up my system.

So I had a nice leftovers lunch and watched a quality programme on LivingTV2 called "Amish in the City". Basic premise follows the typical reality-TV-strangers-living-in-a-house-together thing, but in this show half the group are precocious LA brats and the other half are Amish teenagers on their traditional break where they experience the outside world. It's gripping stuff! The LA teens come across as selfish and narcissistic, but the Amish are starting to give them a run for their money in terms of bitching, and it's kind of obvious that they have in fact been out of their communities for a while. Unfortunately I already know how it all ends up as I looked it up on the internet, but it's still good fun.

Today's photo is just a reminder of another programme I like, "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy". I watched it once with my dad, who was very funny as he totally did not get the concept behind it, and kept asking questions like "why are they all gay?" and then "what's being gay got to do with it anyway?". My dad doesn't really do television apart from the news and the odd documentary thing, and anyway he'd no way take advice on what to wear from anyone in the picture shown, apart from maybe the bloke on the left who is wearing a shirt and blazer.

Having a quiet weekend I think, the usual gym and stuff, in fact I'm a bit tired now so might just go and have a quick nap...
