I have never been one to watch serial television. Sure, there was that semester in university when my friends and I scheduled our classes around Days of Our Lives. But Stefano and his antics got to be too much, and life resumed as it should. Since then, I have never been able to get hooked on shows where I had to watch the previous episode. I prefer the kind of tv where I can plop down and understand right away what's going on.
Until I stayed a couple weekends with Stacey and Trevor.
Trevor loves Coronation Street, and watches it every Sunday morning. For two weekends in a row, we watched Coronation Street. And once I moved into my own place, I craved that show. Now I have a mild addiction.
But that addiction has NOTHING on my new obsession.... The Hills.
What the hell is that show? I have googled it, looked it up on IMDb, and I still cannot figure it out. Is it a reality show? Are these people actors? What is "scripted reality"? Do people really live like this?
I have MTV now, and stumbled on it the other morning. Ironically, it was during a commercial break from Coronation Street last Sunday. I had heard of the show and seen the "characters" posing for People magazine. But I got drawn into the vapid mess. And I cannot get out!
Conversations go like this...
"So I feel like I lost a friend, you know?"
"Yeah."
"Like, I just don't know."
"Yeah."
"It's just so, like"
"Yeah."
All said with vacant stares and lipgloss.
Do people actually hold conversations like this or is someone pulling a colossal joke? I must do more research.
Umm, like, you know,

OMG...I Love Corrie too...Something terrible is going to happen to Charlie Stubs...whatever could it be? I even have a T Shirt that reads, "REAL MEN WATCH CORONATION STREET." Now, I did not buy the shirt, but I do wear it 8-)
ok, I'm addicted to The Hills, too, even though I know it's vapid airheadedness. Maybe it's because it is sooo awful, yet slickly packaged.
