600 Channels of Nothing

All day at home with a sick wife watching television has been educational.

Some custom cakes cost more than my car, and the people who make them are wizards.

There was a show where a company made a castle out of balloons - big enough to drive a golf cart through - which was truly amazing.

There is a show about parents who needed family councilors when THEY were growing up, screwing up their kids with $32,000 6th birthday parties & whatnot.

Plus a movie about a little girl who was struck down by lightning, having murdered a little boy (with her shoe for his gold medal.

Television: one more thing I could pretty much go without for the rest of my life.
