Tired
I have realized that I am out of step with our culture a little bit. I love TV, I love movies, I love music, but I really, truly do not care about Celebrities.
I do not get the fascination with Jon and Kate (and I liked their show before it became all about their marriage instead of their kids).
I feel a little bit of "oh, that's too bad" about the recent death of Farrah Fawcett, but mostly because I know she was very sick and suffered greatly. Cancer sucks.
And man alive am I already sick to death of the eulogizing of Michael Jackson- yes, he was a pop star. Yes, his music was HUGE during my formative years. It is strange to think that he's dead. He was also a child molester- at the very least, he behaved inappropriately enough that he kept being accused of it- and I have a hard time understanding the torrents of grief about his passing. He was weird and creepy, and hadn't been relevant on the music scene for a long time. I feel sorry for his kids, of course- because they've had definitely a weird and probably traumatic life already, and now they have to deal with this upheaval. But that's as far as I can go.
I just...don't care and don't want to hear about it anymore. I want my entertainment websites to tempt me with spoilers and casting announcements. The rest of it? I don't care.
