does this turn you on?
2003-08-17
well, what can i say? german television has reached a new low.
ok, so obviously it was another very interesting day in kathy-land. but i did actually do some things. i was almost disgustingly active.
today, however, a friend of my mum's came around because she wanted me to take some pics of some stuff she wanted to sell on ebay for her. my mum, lovely as she is, said i'd do that so i had to do it. it wasn't that bad but i hate actually having to take on decent clothes on sundays and having people around who want to have a little small talk with me and all. so i was hiding for as long as possible until my mum asked whether i had time to take the pics.
so yeah, that was my weekend. still not overly exciting, i know but hey...i did something. usually i just zone out in front of the tv.
i hope i needn't work overtime tomorrow... :/
after searching (and definitely not finding) many new superstars, watching complete strangers build and redecorate their own homes DIY-style and being able to take part in a competition during each single commercial break we now have something called "family date". i did see the previews these past few weeks but never really got what it was about as i didn't pay much attention.
today, though, i was zapping around and came across this...show. and i swear to elvis, it's the biggest pile of shit the country (and possibly the world) has ever seen.
ok, so from what i've got there is this girl and her parents can choose three guys, who will live with them for a few days. and then they "test-drive" the guys. like...they ask them stuff, make them do things and whatever. and in the end one guy gets chosen as the best partner for their daughter and the couple will be send off to some paradise island thing.
really, how sick is that? first of all...WHO THE FUCK LETS THEIR PARENTS CHOOSE THEIR PARTNERS???
and then it's also quite an idiotic theme because if it doesn't work out with the chosen guy, the girl will probably try it with the others anyway. not to mention the way they always go about it all. how much they all were crying and shit. like their whole life depended on it. they knew her for one or two days and then it's already the most desirable thing for them to get the parents' permission to be with her? who would fall for that shit?
ok, mtv dismissed is crap already but this show definitely wins the award for "show for people without any working braincells". *hands over prize*
it already started last night when my mum and i went on a hunt for food. i had been craving pizza since friday so we ordered something at 6.30 last night. the guy said it would take about an hour, so when we still hadn't got anything at 8.30 we called in to ask what had happened and they said the food was on its way. so i guess you can imagine what mood we were in after, at around 9, a guy came round to tell us they had fucked the order up and we had to order again. which we refused to do because we were pissed off. so we drove to our favourite french fries-restaurant which was closed. so we ended up at the BK drive-in. the coolest thing, though, was that i had to drive without shoes because i had only taken my flip flop-esque shoes with me which obviously didn't work and i couldn't be arsed to go back in to get another pair.
i don't want to work tomorrow, though. lately i'm finding it very hard to motivate myself again. ok, i keep telling me that i will see placebo and AFI soon and blah blah blah. but at the moment that doesn't seem to have any real connection to the fact that i don't want to work. last year around this time i was doing nothing. i was just lying around all day watching tv and occasionally doing things unemployed slackers do. i know i'd get sick of it pretty soon if that was the case now but i'd like to be in this situation for at least a week again. i know it's probably just a phase again, though. what annoys me, however, is that i don't have any real time off left this year. i have a few days off in september but then maja (i'm also quite pissed that i took off until the 3rd and now she's leaving on the 1st but let's not go there, eh?) will be here and the terremoto fest will be then and everything and then there'll be another day in october but i'll be in munich then. so there'll be no slackerishly lying around for me until christmas.
dum dums - you do something to me
