Seriously, I haven’t watched TV in a month or two.  I can only think of two things I watched on TV this year, and that’s the Super Bowl and the Star Wars episode of Family Guy.

(this is gonna sound stupid) It was some kind of celebrity gossip show, and as I glanced over now and then I was just upset that the media gives those people no privacy at all.  Even if the celebrity seems dumb, they still deserve at least a little respect.  Ugh. </p> I don’t watch a lot of tv.  I can’t think of anything really meaningful.  However, the other day I was using the computer in the same room as a tv that someone in my family was watching.
