Sammi came back. The house is much louder and smells of smoke. The cats seem very happy.

The TV is back on. Seth and I mostly used the TV for Venture Brothers and the odd movie. I'm not used to having it constantly on anymore. :/ We were watching a VH1 special on Britney Spears. It reminded me of this poem:


Poem

Lana Turner has collapsed!
I was trotting along and suddenly
it started raining and snowing
and you said it was hailing
but hailing hits you on the head
hard so it was really snowing and
raining and I was in such a hurry
to meet you but the traffic
was acting exactly like the sky
and suddenly I see a headline
LANA TURNER HAS COLLAPSED!
there is no snow in Hollywood
there is no rain in California
I have been to lots of parties
and acted perfectly disgraceful
but I never actually collapsed
oh Lana Turner we love you get up

--Frank O'Hara

Are you old enough to even remember when VH1 used to be a music channel and not just a silly reality-show/celebrity/"I Love The . . ." network? Everyone always bitches about how MTV never shows videos anymore, and that's true, but they've always had some non-video content, and anyway there's always MTV2 for videos if you wanna pay for it. But once upon a time VH1 was almost nothing but videos. Not that I don't love "I Love The . . .", but it'd be nice to have some real music content once in awhile. They should just consolidate with E!. Call themselves "EH1!" and crossbreed their programming to make the ultimate crap network.
