Every morning they call and ask for my husband, slaughtering his name. I tell them he’s asleep, which he is. That’s really stupid, though. Next time (probably tomorrow) I’ll just tell them that we don’t even have a television. Which is also true.

I confess to watching TV on the internet sometimes. Favorites in the past have included WLiiA and Spaced. Currently, I’m a bit obsessive about Heroes (oh, the shame!). Generally I find television to be stupid, and network dramas coma-inducing. And truthfully, I can’t say that Heroes is great art. It’s something to watch while we eat dinner and have a beer, and I try to clear my head from my depressing job. Still, it’s clearly better than 99.03% of what’s on TV, as far as I can tell (although, as noted, I don’t own one). The story is pretty tight, the character development is great especially considering how many of them there are, the acting is considerably above-average, and the interactions and emotions are pretty believable (although the biology, chemistry, and physics are not). They need a better rallying cry, though. I mean, “Save the cheerleader, save the world!” just isn’t the new “Who killed Laura Palmer?”

Luckily for me, all the episodes are on NBC’s website, so after a cliffhanger ending I don’t have to wait a week for the resolution. Unluckily, I’m almost done with Season Two, and then there’s no more until September! Augh!
