2:30 am on a monday

2:30 am on a Monday has some fascinating television. I’m flipping between Jerry Springer’s security guy’s talk show, a VH1 dating show, a cop movie starring Ja Rule, and Ghostbusters 2, the latter of the four inspiring me to throw some more creative resources behind writing a screenplay I’m 97% sure I will abandon in the near future. Anyway, I just saw a commercial for Afrin nasal spray. Somebody with a giant teddy bear head and a woman’s body is walking down the street. The narrator goes on about “Is this how you feel? All stuffed up?” and what not. When the bear-lady stops at the intersection, she shoots up some nasal spray and her head returns to normal. When this happens, a little something catches my eye: the fine print in the corner says “dramatization”. Hmm. Really? So, Afrin doesn’t turn my teddy bear head back to a human head? Or it just doesn’t do it that quickly? Exactly what liability are they freeing themselves from with that disclaimer?

Regardless, all this Ghostbusters 2 watching and what not has stopped me from actually finishing what I planned on posting here tonight. So here’s the deal: I’ll put something up here by/before Friday.

Now it’s 2:40. You ever watch television, change channels during a commercial, and then forget what you were originally watching? That just happened to me. Then I found out I’d been watching “Real Chance of Love”. Then I got really depressed. I’m going to bed.

TV in the middle of the day carries about the same amount of luster as it does at 2:30 a.m. I watched 3 hours of Jon & Kate Plus 8 yesterday.
