Television rights

Wednesday, December 30, 2009

Wednesday this day is! And Singapore Idol was over when? Monday? Whatshisname won? Why, another male Singapore Idol, I never saw it coming! I did hear whatshername was dreadfully flat in her singing, but who gives a damn anyways? Those 2 would be gone faster than you can say "Singaporeidolisawasteoftime!"

My dad said I was living in a time capsule, ignorant of the world around me, and completely drawn into Thrillville. My character was running around the theme park like some duck, when my mother started putting her two cents in.

"Still playing your wii game, I see!"

"My life's too short." I replied, curtly.

"Then what are we? Ancient?"

"Never implied, nor intended to. I just realized, each morning I wake up, that my days grow shorter. And I have to game as much as possible before I put another foot into the coffin."

The word 'coffin' commenced the habitual family debate about television rights and so on. My mom won and quickly did she unplug my wii and insert into the dvd player her KOREAN DRAMA. 'Shit' I thought, 'This will take days.'

I turned to my dad, who had by then exhausted any means to fight for HIS favorite Channel 5 show, The Mentalist. "You do know that mom's not going to let you watch your favorite show either, right?"

DAD: 0 | MOM: 03 | RAIN: 03
