I don't watch a lot of TV, especially one hour dramas. The only one hour shows that I follow are Charmed and Angel, which my husband tapes and we watch back later. I do try and catch some half hour and variety shows throughout the week, parts of David Letterman, Conan O'Brien and Jon Stewart's The Daily Show. If I'm up early enough I'll watch Dr. Phil, and it there's something interesting on, Oprah. My "junk TV" to relax is HGTV. I don't watch much news. When I remember or just happen to be sitting there, I watch The Simpsons, Insomniac, South Park, Malcolm, and Friends and Will & Grace.

We watched Friends during dinner tonight, then I came back in to watch Will & Grace, which, at the end of, I was dozing off on the couch. So the TV stayed on NBC, while I turned the sound off and took a nap. About an hour later I wake up, and am sitting there in a semi-comatose state trying to wake up and I look up at the TV. Hmm... must be ER, lotsa doctors. Like I said, I don't watch a lot of TV.

My husband is in the other room watching JFK be shot in slow motion over and over again. So a group of ER doctors are on the roof of the hospital wheeling a patient out to the Lifeflight chopper. One of the doctors is apparently having a panic attack because we suddenly get the grisly image of his arm being chopped off by the helicopter's blades, uggh, wasn't expecting that. Then the guy's OK again and obviously freaking out because he gets back on the elevator and goes down to the ambulance receiving area to get some air (and apparently away from the copter). OK, I can sympathize. The sound is still off on the TV...

Then we're back on the roof, the nurses wave bye to the helicopter as it takes off (uh-oh), then as they're wheeling the gurney back to the elevator it catches on something (double uh-oh) and then we realize the copter is slowly spinning out of control just above the roof, and now it's coming down onto the roof, crashing, the blades cutting out hunks of the roof, it's spinning all over the place, right up to the nurses cowering against the wall, one of them gets a hunk of something shot into her... Then, the helicopter plunges over the side of the building, and lands in frightening detail, on top of the doctor who just ran away from it and bursts into flames. Cut to a commercial break. Not a hallucination this time I guess...

OK, I'm awake now, went and told my husband, he's like "Oh yeah, they've been talking about that on ET all week", I try really hard not to watch ET (or Extra, or any of that garbage). Good grief, too much drama for a weekly basis. That's like a movie's worth of death and destruction and FX. When I wander back through a few minutes later, there are all the doctors and nurses, with flames behind them, blood pouring from huge open wounds... So I flip it over to HGTV, then go into the next room to work. I'd rather listen to House Hunters, I think.
