*click* I turned the tv on a man stood in an Iraqi hospital with a bundle of rags in his hands *click* I changed the channel a woman stood in a US hospital with a clipboard in her hands *click* I switched back the man was given a cardboard box but it was too small *click* the woman was asking another equally gorgeous doctor which of her two boyfriends she should choose *click* the man had started crying great heaving sobs *click* the woman was crying too but decorously *click* the man was given a bigger box and he laid his dead baby inside it and collapsed *click* I turned the tv off I don't know what happened to the woman I don't really care she was only acting and at least she had a choice |

fact and fiction sometimes so close we cannot differentiate thanks for reading and as per Dave Allen "May your God go with you"

That's why the Americans call the remote a clicker  I almost always watch two films at a time on TV...because I have a choice, too  Keep love in your heart ! SL

Sometimes I wonder why those who make the decisions to go to war are never in the front lines. I'm dyslexic. I scream Ho Dog instead of Oh God in the throes of passion.

The poor baby and the man.

Sometimes we haven't decided what we really want and we consider it really boring. Cheers

I am really into your wording...'Crying decorously', etc. Of course you see it on these shows all the time. It just never had meaning to me until you described it that way. I am sad for the man and the baby...aka--the REAL WORLD. Take What You Want. Leave What You Don't.

Fortunately for your muse, and probably for us, it was a hospital soap opera on the other channel and not, say, a Real Madrid soccer match. But at least here, in the USA, we have a coffin called "soccer apathy" that is more than big enough to contain David Beckham's fame. Back on point: What you've attempted in this piece is to be admired, from a writer's viewpoint. It's sure not easy, but you've come closer to pulling it off than I'd even dare try. ~ B.

I watched Bush address the nation....and I cried. . ...to much drama and I'm gone

was it Grey's Anatomy? they cry a lot on that show. And they have multiple boyfriends. Too bad the man couldn't just switch his life off as easy as we can. Peace.Love.Twilight.**N*M*N**CaptainPrincess

I never used to mind it that much, but then all the faffing about "ooh, which guy?" and "ooh, I don't know what to do with all this money" started to get to me. Last night was the last straw. You win a boxed set of "Scrubs" on dvd.

Is it okay to like Scrubs??? I think it is....it's more what I want my hospital to be like when/if I go to one... *breaks into JD type dream sequence*

You win a boxed set of "Scrubs" on dvd. And I know exactly which episode you're talking about, with the money. Sadly, I do watch Grey's...and the way she came about to that money...I cried...lol it was sad! Pulled at my little heart. Peace.Love.Twilight.**N*M*N**CaptainPrincess

could you make it a box set of The Tudors season one? I missed last season and the new season starts on the 30th...although, I mean come on, how hard is it to catch up? She still has her head I believe. And I know exactly which episode you're talking about, with the money. Sadly, I do watch Grey's...and the way she came about to that money...I cried...lol it was sad! Pulled at my little heart.

Glove up, nurse. They're all getting compulsory transplants.  by this ???...Never Give Up Hope...Your Dreams Are Out There....

I see you've erased all the men from your mind, only a woman has kept hold on you, even when you say you dont care ... is the nose now clean?
| ||
9/25/2008 1:22 pm |
But we should, just as we should also be able to determine what is important and what is trivial. thanks for reading and as per Dave Allen "May your God go with you"
| ||
9/25/2008 3:00 pm |
I was going to say read the book instead, but seeing the divergences between historical events and the soap royale that is The Tudors it would be pointless. It's not quite as bad as Braveheart, but then, not much is. I hope it's not like The Other Boleyn Girl...there's a book to avoid. And if you are going to watch the movie, don't even glance at the book. What's so bad about Braveheart? Peace.Love.Twilight.**N*M*N**CaptainPrincess
| ||
9/25/2008 11:25 pm |
watched grey's just now...she was worried about moving in with her boyfriend and possibly cheating on him...thought you would have definately enjoyed it! Peace.Love.Twilight.**N*M*N**CaptainPrincess

Sometimes it is so cruel when you realize that all that you can do to the world is nothing but merely stare. The different implications of the 8 "clicks" well present the cardiogram of "I" in front of the TV set that morning. (What I like best about Gray's Anatomy are how the interns' treat their patients, how keen they are to learn and face challenges. As for their complicated romantic relationship, that could never be nailed down, or there would never be any chance for the next season to come up. ) Agnes

hey bro waz up ? straight from the heart

9/27/2008 8:45 pm |
Ah the juxtaposition of drama vs drama...which is "real" and which is just a figment of our imagination...a man in a country far away--he is the "enemy"--showing his grief for our entertainment... The other is entertaining us with pretend grief.... Gad... (PS Evidently my blog (or maybe it's just me...not sure which) is, in the kind words of FF, "terminally corrupted" so I have had to change my handle....)

I watched on TV last night .... the first Night Formula1 Race here in Singapore Stopped watching the morning News ... just too depressing  It's nice to be insane when No one is looking

look at original radio broadcast of war of the worlds it caused mass panic A Spanish language version broadcast in 1949 in Ecuador resulted in fatalities.
| ||
9/30/2008 3:06 am |
Oh I've read so much on them already, I just want to see what the show is like. It's gotten good reviews over here. I hope it's not like The Other Boleyn Girl...there's a book to avoid. And if you are going to watch the movie, don't even glance at the book. What's so bad about Braveheart?
