Television Hell
Please ask me any questions you might have about handling social or family situations. How do I get rid of a house guest? My mother keeps talking to me in baby talk...what do I do? That sort of thing. In the meantime, I'll fill this space with what's churning through my television.
So I have care of the boy tonight and I can hear him crying from his crib right this moment. He's learning to put himself back to sleep now when he wakes up, so this is progress. Jenny and I have been strengthening our backs over the past 7 months holding him and rocking back to full sleep after he awakens prematurely, and we've decided that he needs to do some of the work for himself. WAIT: He just stopped crying. Victory. I can get used to this. So now I have a few precious hours of television.
NFL Network, Live Wire is on right now with a bit about Marty Schottenheimer. My last memory of Marty was more like a feeling...feeling that he got screwed out of a job by San Diego know-it-all AJ Smith, who, in his brilliance, replaced him with ne'er-do-well Norv Turner. If you are going to fire a guy who has been successful, at least replace him with somebody who has done better. At this point, I believe it's clear that Norv wasn't a big upgrade. That's all I'm saying.
English Soccer League: Whoops! Wrong direction. Thank goodness I don't get that channel.
VH1, The Temptations. Biopic. I don't do biopics. Even the good ones are hard for me. I didn't see Ray, though I've heard from many that it was good. Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story was pretty funny, though. Where is Charm School when you need it?
CMT, Hulk Hogan Celebrity Wrestling. Ouch, though only theatrically. I wasn't aware of this show until just this moment. Another CMT reality dud. It looks really, really bad. A handy rule of thumb is to not watch any shows with washed up, overweight ex-wrestlers. That's some free advise for you.
Comedy Central, Larry the Cable Guy-Morning. Some of you may believe Larry the Cable Guy is a tired routine. You would be right, but I still like him in small doses. But if you think Larry is unattractive, please don't look at his audience. Camera pans through the crowd of this live performance remind one of plaster of Paris: Pasty-white and lumpy.
I think I'm just going to turn the set off and set my fantasy football roster. Have a nice Saturday night.

My wife picks up shifts sometimes on nights and weekends, and so I occasionally watch the boy by myself. For those of you fellas who perform similar duties from time to time, be careful not to call this "babysitting." So far, I've been too smart to make this mistake, but I've heard of it happening and I would not recommend it. To be certain, babysitting is care of children by non-parents, not non-mothers.
