Ever since I decided to break Stan Lee from his Alcatraz escapes, he’s started to cop an attitude. After two months of living here, he decided to redirect his aggressions towards poor little Aloon, my betta fish.
For the past few nights I’ve lost sleep rescuing the little finned friend from the evil clutches of Mr. Lee. I’ve moved the tank, covered the tank. I’ve splashed Stan with the fish water to show him he does not want what’s in there. I’ve squirted him, shouted no and removed him from the room- including stating I’d remove his head from his body should he continue these attempts.
When I returned from work today I found the top of the tank trapping Aloon in the corner as it was dropped inside and my Buddha statue was on the floor along with multiple things I had placed in hopes of protecting the fish. FINALLY I just took the tank and placed it inside the bird cage. I have a fish in a bird cage and you know what? It works. Stan Lee gave up and now he’s back to the sweet little curious fur ball that I fell in love with. Aloon is behind bars for his own protection and I’m feeling a little guilty about that- but he’s SAFE. Now I wonder where Stan is will direct his aggressions now.
Tonight has been Reality TV night. I flipped between Wife Swap (two minutes and I was finished). America’s Next Top Model- Oh come on Tyra, what are you going for??? I saw two model potentials and the rest were obviously for possible shock value. I guess I was shocked that they were abled to be captured on film. American Idol was also airing (which I’m currently watching) and I have to say that’s the show has been on for 1.5 hours and I truly can’t stand the female night because they truly lack the talent that the guys brought to the stage last night.
There were a few stand out guys who I actually felt embarrassed for because they were better than that show. Tonight I’ve seen one person who truly shows she has what it takes to make it- and OMG please leave the show on your own because you can make it with out them. Two people total actually (one guy and one girl) really can make it big without the Idol, and that show will prove to be an embarrassment on their resume later on. (think Star Search) My apologies for not knowing their names, but I look at it this way: “They don’t know my name…” Granted I’m not on television, but I have a hard enough time remembering my work badge in the morning.
I’ve never watched American Idol prior to this season so I’m unfamiliar with their dynamics, rules and how it runs- I just see the bubble gum morons it churns out and I’m disgusted with how it further poisons the industry with the lack of originality and forgettable personalities. Then again, 95% of today’s music is like that.
Oh! There was also a commercial for The Moment of Truth… “Woman tells her husband that truthfully she’d get back with her ex boyfriend if he asked.” Wow, the woman looks like she’s in her early twenties, she looks like she’s been married shorter than the time time I’ve been celibate… bleach blond twit looking thing who looked like she got married because she was bored. In today’s marriages, especially new ones, it’s difficult to come across a couple who have high morals and values- so the statement of “Watch the year’s most shocking episode”- and considering this is what… the third or fourth episode… they had one pure little beauty queen, a gambler who had no qualms stating his toxicities- and it’s only February… can we please take the two or three shows that keep this station afloat and move them to other networks while we take the rest of the people and just line them up in front of a firing squad? I’d tune in to see that.
