i was at the computer sometime last week and the boyfriend was flipping through channels on the television. he stopped on an MTV commercial for The Real World season finale and the reunion episode. "We'll have to watch that" he said. "Yeah," i agreed. a couple minutes later, puzzled, he asked "Why?" we thunked a minute, and by our count, we'd only watched the premiere and half of one later episode of the season.

we don't care about the characters real life people and have no interest in the show and its plot, but we were mesmerized and minion-ized by the commercial. Yes, Master, we will watch... it was scary the way we fell in line without resisting, and i wonder how many of the other things i decided to watch due to evil electronic mojo. i wonder now especially about my decision to be sure to watch the premiere of the E! True Hollywood Story: Liza Minnelli on Sunday, July 21 (though that could be the Judy gene kicking in).
