Howya

Howdy!

This is by no means my first attempt at blogging, but hopefully it will be more regular and outlive the others..which have died slow, painful, slightly self-involved deaths.

For various reasons too boring and long-winded to go into, the career and social aspects of my life are sporadic and patchy. I once tried writing a blog about the city I live in, but realised pretty sharpish I don't actually spend enough time *living it* to do it justice.

But what's the one thing that's a constant in my life? What eats up more of my time than anything else (Bejeweled taking the head-hanging 2nd place of shame)? The TV.

I will make questionable, urging noises at anyone who will listen to go and watch The Wire. I get grumpy if I miss an episode of Neighbours. I cry genuine tears at the now far-too-blatant plays for sympathy on The X Factor. I have wanted to crawl inside the television and live inside the world of Mad Men in all its perfect, pristine glory. I have watched 3 episodes of Jeremy Kyle in one day.

I will never be as vitriolically brilliant as Charlie Brooker. I enjoy trash too much. I actively watch My Super Sweet 16, and only for partly masochistic reasons.

I know I'm probably supposed to be angry and edgy....but I just like TV. Sorry...!
