du vin blanc and television
I'm sipping a delicious chilled gewurztraminer. It's crisp, slightly sweet, slightly spicy, with fruity, floral and musky notes. Mmmmm. I lived in a picturesque wine producing region - one of the most famous in this country - for a while and acquired a taste for the stuff. Il ne faut pas etre un grand cru; as long as it's pleasant my palate is satisfied.
On to television
There's an endless parade of reality shows on tv. The surreal life features z-list celebrities living in a house together. I'm using the term 'celebrity' very loosely considering that I don't recognize most of them who seem to be way past their watch-by date.
The real housewives of Orange county is a lot more entertaining. These women live in a wealthy gated community in southern California. Botoxed to the hilt, silicone keeping their breasts eternally perky (and several sizes larger than the originals) they are clutching a youth that has already slipped away.
I woudn't trade my life for theirs because I think that my life is really fabulous as it is especially with my natural Ds. But I'll be stranded on a deserted Island any day with Naveen Andrews from Lost. I am obsessed with that show. And did I say that Naveen is absolutely devine?
TV shows that I watch in no particular order:
- Lost
- Perry Mason
- Matlock
- American Idol
- the OC
- The Sopranos
- reruns of Friends
- Various shows on the food channel
- Nic @ nite when I can't sleep
- Infomercials when I really can't fall asleep
- Shopping channels when I'm wondering who on earth buys all those ugly clothes and jewelry.
- I know I watch other shows but I'm too lazy to think of them
- oh yeah, kenyamoto.com check it out if you haven't

Amazing how tv is such a big part of our lives. And isn't it funny how reality tv doesn't seem that real? Oh well, I'll check out kenyamoto--haven't been there yet.
that kenyamoto site is def. a clincher...
cheers...
@Gnd: Yup. You know they are acting a certain way so that they can extend their 15 minutes (or is it seconds?).
@kritik: I go to kenyamoto.com on fridays to get my weekly fix of Kenyan broadcasting.
First time on your blog. interesting selection i watch none of those shows apart from kenyamoto. google video has some nice tv clips including redcorner-stand up kenyan comedy. Am a big abc fan and fx on weekends.According to jim just blows my mind that guy is too funny. any woman who can appreciate his humor deserves some attension
@joe: Thanks for stopping by. I'm gonna check out the google video.
