Yes, this is entirely pointless.

Does anyone else watch Court TV? Like during the daytime?

See, I watch it most nights because their night programming is a lot of forensic-related programming. During the day they have trial footage, which I try to avoid because sweet Lord, is it boring. This morning I turned on the TV while I was getting ready and it was on Court TV because that was what I was watching last night. They were airing the trial of that novelist that's accused of throwing his wife down a flight of stairs and oh, my God. I almost went back to sleep.

If I were on that jury, I think I might die. This morning's footage included the testimony of the forensic meteorologist (!), who went into this longwinded explanation of how the windchill factor affects the temperature. I can't imagine what the jury was thinking. I think I'd be drawing on my legal pad, making little comics of the meteorologist being eaten by weasels or something.

Watching this trial made me really glad that I've never been selected for jury duty. It was this Onion article come to life.

It could have been worse I guess. It could have been their umpteenth analysis of the Scott Peterson case (Could sentient toasters have committed this crime?) or their latest thought-provoking poll (Are celebrities treated differently? Well, are they?!).

Suffice to say, I was very early for class this morning.

That guy used to write a column for the Duke newspaper (I always thought his picture was max creepy!). It was huge news in sleepy ol' Durham when it happened.

I haven't paid much attention to him, so I just spent a minute flipping through "The Many Faces of Michael Peterson" on courttv.com and wow, what a freak. I don't think they have one normal-looking photo of him.

And what is it with that last name and murder trials lately.

your explanation of the boredom surrounding what you were watching describes how i feel about all television, which is why i don't have cable or even an antenna. the funny thing is that i work in cable advertising...

The thing is, I like television. I just think that we think too much is worthy of televising.

I haven't liked tv since Northern Exposure was canceled.
The rear end on your icon makes me feel funny, but then again so does Lolita.
That's my favorite of your icons.

It makes you feel funny? Hee. My favorite is my current default--it reminds me the most of myself. Messy hair and no manners.

yes, it makes me feel funny in that "I'm glad I decided not to become a teacher/my god that 15 year old is sexy" kind of way.
your default icon is cool too.
