12 Wasted Hours


Yesterday, there was an America's Next Top Model marathon. Not feeling very well, I was taking it easy. I sat down to knit, and I watched the first show not realizing it was a marathon. I don't know why I like this program. I suspect that if there was something else on, at least at first, I would have stopped watching. But unfortunately I was hooked.

I could care less about the personal drama between the contestants. That when I go and do a chore around the house, go to the bathroom or even take Joey walking. I teach at a community college. I can watch that sort of thing between roommates any time I like...and I don't like. I think what I find interesting is that it isn't always the prettiest girl that wins. It's usually the individual with personality that comes out through her pictures.

I was really cheering for the plus-size girl. Not only was she beautiful, but she had a strong bubbly personality. I'm afraid those people who were stuck in the skinny paradigm wore her down. Aside from her, I think the right girl won.

But I couldn't help myself, I watched all 12 hours. I feel as though I need to redeem myself. I think today I had better do some reading.
