And now, I'm home, and I'm watching American Telly via Channel 5 and frankly it's as gripping as it is apalling.

However, Trading Spouses is rather terrific. I love that show, in spite/because of featuring some terrible examples of humanity. Although the Goergia Dad today who has traded places with the New York dad is such a sweetie

Vaginal Thrush? What the hell is that? Could I have it? I have no idea. How do you check for that sort of thing?

*checks mirror for a flush in his cheeks. Checks throat and tongue for spots. Looks in the whites of his eyes. Seeing nothing, sits back down.*

Do you drink tea or soup for it, or just lay down under covers and starve it out? Come on! Obviously you know what it is. It's so cruel of you not to explain it. I could be dying right now of vaginal thrush and never know it. Then where would I be?

Well, dead for one thing. Never gets you anywhere, being dead. 'Cept looking at the roots of flowers.

I'm terrible at gardening.

*Fidgets and worries*

Everyone seeming airbrushed.

That's because they are. Puffed and stuffed and fluffed
to within an inch of their lives. I flee screaming to
BBC America and my weekly Eastenders package when I can't
take it anymore ;)

fox is probably the worst of the american channels, though - i don't even watch it except for the animated stuff. i really don't enjoy watching people get uncomfortable as in trading spouses. plus, you have to understand, here it's all about the extremes - people watch tv to feel better about themselves (like in trading spouses or the swan or any of that junk, ie, 'I'm not that bad/I'd never do anything like that'), or to escape from reality. appearances are brittle and artificial here for that reason. this is my theory, at any rate
