Reality

Why do we get addicted to reality shows? (really dumb ones) Let me tell you how it happens in my house. When I am left alone because Dan is with a buddy playing video games, working on the computer, or at meetings, I end up settling on whatever grabs my attention. It doesn't take much these days.

My latest addiction: The Girls Next Door.

Now, I know the shows that some of you have mentioned so there is no judging allowed. This show is sad on so many levels. This is basically what you get:

- an 80 yr old man with 3 live-in girlfriends ranging from 20 to 26 yrs old (has a polygamy feel to it)
- so much drama ranging from forgetting dog's birthday cards to ill-fitting bunny costumes
- the blury-nudity special effect isn't all that effective
- Hugh Hefner wears pajams ALL THE TIME, and his nickname is "Puffin" (makes me gag)

I have seen so many episodes that I know the words to the theme song. No, I won't sing it for you. You know you all sang with Nick when you were watching the newlyweds.

I'm hooked.
