Spike TV (formerly TNN, formerly The Nashville Network), normally my source for 4 hours of Star Trek per day on this boring trip to CFB Greenwood, is now on my shit list. Up until today, they've shown two hours of high quality late-seasons Next Generation at 3pm, then again at 9pm. Today? Two hours of V.I.P. -- that dubious vehicle for Pamela Anderson, Canadian yet somehow still evil. Like Stockwell Day.

So now I'm even MORE bored than normal. ARGH! Can anyone amuse me?

(I wrote that two hours ago. I just checked, and V.I.P. is STILL on -- that's four hours so far, that I'm aware of! Are they having a Thanksgiving Boobathon? It is to cry.)

I used to love VIP!!! TNG not so much, but I do like Star Trek Voyager. Pamela Anderson is hilarious though - you like her because she's canadian, hate her because she's so fake. But - she is dying of Hep C so I guess I'll choose to like her and let her live out the rest of her life free of judgement. LOL

Is she really? Wow. I clearly am not watching enough Entertainment Tonight -- I had no idea. Actually, I think I'm pretty disconnected from all celebrities who aren't in my gender / age / type of interest... so shallow, that's me!

How did you not know about Pam Anderson's Hep C fiasco? We really haven't been spending enough time together. I'm full of this ridiculous pop culture knowledge!

I have this off coworker (the VERY religious one I have mentioned to some in the past right here in this very journal) who has NO pop culture references. It's so weird. You'll say something like "that's weirder than Michael Jackson" and he'll say "who's Michael Jackson?" It's not quite that bad, but I'm exagerating only 10% or so...

Turkey Day

Remember, its Turkey day here, so most stations are doing 'special' programming. Bravo is doing a west wing marathon down here, which totally rocks, except I've seen almost all of them so far, I've been doing my TiVoing of WW every day.

You could start the Burning Man 2004 planning ;)

a) I wish I got US Bravo in this hotel room!
b) Good idea. I have to get planning, so that Vinny doesn't i) tell me I can't go or ii) think he's getting away with not going.

V.I.Crap

Cam, I've noticed the same thing about TNN/Spike, when ever there is a holiday or special day coming up Spike ALWAYS has a VIP marathon. Every holiday is 24hrs of the crap (mind you I call it crap now but used to watch it on said marathons back in the day). So don't feel bad, its not just you that they are out to get, its everyone.
