Lifetime.

I woke up yesterday wondering what time it was, having unpacked nothing due to a constant state of illness. Thus, i had no clock. I turned on my TV and at that moment discovered that i could tell you approximately what time of the morning it was judging by what was playing on Lifetime.

This made me want to shoot myself in the face.

By the way, it was 10:00 because an episode of the Golden Girls had just ended and Frasier was about to begin. I do like Frasier. And the Nanny. Which is why i have grown to know Lifetime's programming. Ew. And what's even worse is that any bit of the Golden Girls i catch just further convinces me that i will unfortunately depressingly grow up to be just like Dorothy Spornak. There's even an episode where she gets to be on Jeopardy, a life goal of hers. This is why i don't watch Golden Girls.

You cannot even begin to comprehend how awful this situation is. I had no reason to wake up at any particular time, which was lovely, but always makes me feel a bit useless. I used to be able to tell time almost to the minute when i worked at the farm; i don't know, maybe the sun's shadows or something, but now i can tell time immediately upon waking judging from television. and not even a good television station. no. LIFETIME. Home of excrutiatingly titled movies like "My husband left me, i have since misplaced my child, another person is trying to kill me, and i am going to cry a lot". I mean, really, if it was BBCAmerica that i knew so well, i would almost be ok with myself. Almost.

Telling time through Lifetime led me to the realization that if i do not do something productive immediately, my life will be a downward spiral from this point on. And when i say immediately, i mean 30 hours later, which is now. This is why i have decided to set up a blog for the summer. It may just be filled with crazy things that happen to me, because crazy things do. But it may also delineate my attempts to figure out what i want to do with myself. Or it may be recount stories that have occured this semester, that i just haven't gotten around to recording.

Whatever it is. it will mean less Lifetime. and more life time.
