For whatever reason, I like to whistle when I walk
around the building at work. It is not always a given
song, sometimes it is just notes strung together. My
melody started out that way this afternoon, when I
noted that it suddenly took a familiar tone. I did
not recognise it at first, but it became apparent
quickly. I was humming the theme to $25,000 Pyramid.
I have not seen that show in years. But, the theme
seems like it will be hanging around for a while,
judging by the number of times my brain has rolled
through it now.
Speaking of game shows, I am going to a focus group
soon on TV programming. There were two groups.
Evidently the first group gets to watch baseball, and
the second gets to watch network TV. Naturally, I
could not guarantee to be on time to get there for the
baseball one, so I get the network half of the
festivities. This didn’t really affect me until they
called back to confirm my presence and started asking
me questions like “do you watch Deal or no Deal?” How
about “How I Met Your Mother?” And what about “Two
and a Half Men?” As to be expected, I am now on full
alert for “CrapWatch 2008.” They will probably make
me watch those horrible shows, but fill them with
subliminal messages about how “Hillary Clinton would
make a great president” and how her “Pant suits and
cankles are not as grotesque in person as they are on
TV.” Oh, wait, isn’t her campaign pretty much done as
of today anyway? What a shame.
Smirkingly yours,
-Michael
