Hotel Overshare

Wednesday, December 20, 2006

Ok, this is the month of short posts (and not very many) and for this I have many excuses/explanations none of which are worth going into and are boring like "Oooh I'm so in LOVE I need not share my thoughts with anyone but my LOVAH", and shit like "yes I am Christmas shopping" (not a one trip to the mall though - I win!), and "Yes, I am exhausted due to adrenal exhaustion stemming from me being so stressed out I was going to die and not sleeping for a year straight." Yes, you know boring.

But I do have a thought or two that I'd like to share.

Now, I don't know if this is solely because I live in the fine city of BAHSTAN (Boston) and this is what our local PBS stations choose to show, but has anyone noticed the INSANE amounts of weird adult contemporary light rock shows they keep playing? Especially during fundraising times?

I mean who the fuck is that guy with the trumpet? Didn't he work for Rosie or something? How is he at all something I want to pay for with my contribution dollars and why do they play him over and over and over again like people give a shit?

Oh and those Irish bitches? Leaping around in their drapey outfits lip synching and sounding like they've just did a HUGE hit of helium? What the fuck!?! It's *this close* to LARPing (look it up).

Since when did PBS become VH1 Geriatric? What's going on?

Am I the only one that remembers when PBS had really fascinating cutting edge shows about contemporary art and dance and music? And I guess they still show Frontline and Nova but BARELY compared to the Irish lassies.

Or is that when I lived in New York? Is this a Boston thing? Isn't WGBH like all old school PBS and cutting edge with producing stuff?

It's either cheesy snoozefest John Tesh bullshit or informercials for books and CDs.

Is it me or does ANYONE KNOW WHO THE FUCK DR. WAYNE DYER IS and has ANYONE BEEN ABLE TO ACTUALLY WATCH ONE OF THOSE FUCKING SHOWS ALL THE WAY THROUGH?

I swear to god it's like *this close* to Dianetics.

How the hell did he get an open invitation to PBS? Perhaps he willed it to happen with his magikal brain parts.

Sigh.... I miss the 70's.

  • I too remember watching cool artsy independent films on WGBH when I was a youngin'.

    You should check out Independent Lens, though. They have some pretty radical stuff for PBS Lite. It's probably on at 2am or something.

    I used to listen to a lot of public radio too until they turned into a slightly more stodgy version of The View.

    Hang in there (you know, like a cat clinging to a rope). The holidays are almost over.
