September 01, 2005 | Our band, INXS

Mystery Squash


I watched reality tv. I'm a bit ashamed to admit it because I HATE reality tv, with a passion. I don't watch the major network channels because I can't even stand the commercials for reality tv. I will watch those charming Charmin bear commercials 10 times in a row, but if I have to see what's coming up next on Fear Factor I will SCREAM.

So, when K! graciously invited me over to watch Rock Star: INXS with her and some friends, I accepted. She had explained the premise to me, and it didn't sound that bad, also I didn't really have anything else to do that night. Through the magic of Tivo, we watched the Tuesday episode and the Wednesday episode back to back. All the while, making fun of the contestants. It actually wasn't that bad. I told myself that it was because I watched it with friends. It wasn't something I was going to watch at home, by myself. One, it wouldn't be as much fun to make fun of people. And Two, I don't have Tivo.

Last night was my 3rd week of watching Rock Star. Not only did I yell "TIVO!!" every time a commercial came on, so we could fast forward and get back to the good stuff. I was INCENSED that JD (he's such a smarmy bastard) didn't get kicked off the show last night! I fear that these are signs that I am becoming, or perhaps am already, hooked on this show.

So now, there's only one thing that can be done. Someone needs to knock me unconscious and only wake me up when they can tell me who was finally deemed the new lead singer for our band, INXS.

Actually, I think I'll be okay. As long as I don't start watching it by myself. If I do, I may be asking one of you to whack me over the head with something heavy.

I'm with Owen. Where have I been? Long journal entries? Comments? Lovin' it!



Never watch TV but I'd be lost without the Internet. I've been dropping by the ugly green chair since 2002, and have linked you since sometime in early 04 and thought, sheesh, I really should say hello.



we're all humans, and humans do crazy, silly stuff. I don't like reality TV either, but I too have watched some of them and, you know...sometimes you want to learn and sometimes you just want mindless entertainment.



Oh dear.



I've been watching A&E's "Intervention" all summer, and I despise reality TV. I think maybe everyone has one reality show that is for them.



I recommend "Hell's Kitchen".
