on the TV thing. I guess it depends on what you happen to be watching. Occasionally I am informed and uplifted. Last night was not a case in point.
We watched 'American Idol' which I happen to enjoy most of the time. It can be interesting to see how the contestants respond from week to week. Last night for example, Jennifer did a spectacular job on a Barry Manilow song. I had not liked her that much to this point.
Fantasia and Latoya and George were not quite up to their usual standard. And that John Stevens kid has no business still competing at this level, but hey, what do I know. America voted.

So was I informed and uplifted? Well, it was a semi-enjoyable waste of an hour of our time. If I think of it in terms of what I could (or should) have done then maybe it was a total waste of time. On the other hand I also defragged my hard drives, so all was not lost!
