Thinks.. is that something British?
I can't help myself just laughing a bit too hard at Katherine Tate's 'Am I bovvered?'
Brilliant I think, I can't even say why and looking at Johns expression when I am rolling on the floor laughing I am so alone in that sentiment :-)
Anyway, I feel I have developed a very high level of 'can't be bovvered' since I am in this country.
For instance television gives me a very high 'can't be bovvered' feel, Prison Break for instance, I am SURE it is a very good series even when it is shown on FIVE, it has everything, hunks of REAL men (always nice to look at), threatening situations and a clever plot. And that is maybe where the wheels fall off... It just needs too much of my attention and I can't be bothered. I like sitting on the couch with my laptop on my lap (I mean.. isn't that WHY it is called laptop? Do you know they advise to never keep it on your lap top because it closes off its ventilation bits? Crazy, then it shouldn't have become a laptop that is what I say, go and find a solution for your stuffed ventilation bits like the rest of us!)
Anyway.. I digress... see.. that is what happens all the time!
Watching Prison Break and because of laptop on lap I notice some eBay items have been sold so I need to relist them and send out 2nd chance offers (oops what did that prison guard say, and who is that girl, is this a 'like Lost' flashback or is this another brother? And why don't they alternate redheads and blonds with the dark guys a bit so I can keep up better with who is who) and of course there is no way I can follow what the poor scriptwriter meant to say.
Short attention span you see... sign of our times I suppose too many things going on at any given time. Which is probably why I like reality TV... I know it is so not allowed. One is supposed to only like 24 and House and even though I like those as well it needs quite a bit of attention span and I just can't be bovvered!
Reality tv is easy, not a lot happens, occasionally, when my attention is not on my laptop, an half funny or extraordinarily stupid remark can filter through to make me titter while doing a few other things.
So.. am I a TV addict? Or should we devise a new category of 'TV always on-addict'. Well.. thinking about it... Am I really that bovvered?
