Put down the remote and back away slowly. We're already three days into the 2004 "TV-Turnoff Week" and there's no time to lose!
This is the 10th year that millions of people nationwide have pledged to avoid television for an entire week, no peeking, no TiVo. There's still time to catch up, just don't watch twice as much TV for a couple of days.
In the beginning television seemed harmless. It saved us the trouble of making our own entertainment, a real labor-saver for those of us without our own recording studios or ready access to dynamite. We considered TV to be just another appliance, like an oven that played show tunes, but soon it was telling us what to wear and eat and buy, how to cast our vote, and what sorts of people were really attractive (answer: not us).

So, like, do you have an official Groupie Club, or is the position of Head Fangirl still open?
(Of course, Teresa has more-than-fangirl status, so although she is your true bestest fangirl, I'm hoping for a few crumbs. )

I prefer to let each of you think you could be my Head Fangirl so you'll compete against each other for my attention.

I'm into the self-delusional parody game, too. (Excuse me while I go doodle in my spiral notebook. )

Generally I start with my hands on his hips, working my way around... wait a minute. What was the question?

I think I'd better lay off "American Idol," people are starting to notice its automatic inclusion whenever I talk about mind-sapping television...
