We Are Controlling Transmission ...
It's a little after 10.00, Tuesday night. Since both of my children are present in the house, they have taken over the family room. Normally, by this time -- hours before this time -- K has retreated to her room and I get not only the couch, but the remote. When both girls are here together, they never hang out in her room, but here. And since R is sleeping here tonight, and in the family room, I'm not getting it back so soon.
There is nothing on TV tonight, or, as I pointed out to my sister earlier, nothing on TV all summer. When the girls were down in the basement before, they noticed the mountain of old videotapes that I have begged them to work on this summer, and selected one for viewing. We are watching Spice World. For the uninitiated, this is the Spice Girls' movie of god-only-knows how long ago.
The two of them have particular affection for bad, tacky movies, so this qualifies in spades. This is how they watch such things: they comment on them continuously. Sometimes they pause the movie to laugh at a particularly awful moment or style or something. But they comment continuously. Continuously means that they do not stop. They chat throughout the entire movie.
I'm in New Jersey. Send help.
WATCHING SPICE WORLD :: ENTRY #1515
I thought it was only sailors who did that! ;o)
ReplyDeleteThe only escape is to go to bed.
ReplyDeleteI've seen SPICE WORLD......several times. My daughter owned that VHS tape when the Spice Girls were popular. hehehehehe. As a child, I remember going to the drive in to see HARD DAY'S NIGHT with parents. HAPPY VACATION! Travel safely and HAVE A GREAT TIME.
ReplyDeleteCommenting continuously is the only way to get through a movie like that.
ReplyDeleteI love that movie! I normally get really annoyed at people who comment continuously through movies, but when I watch things like Spice Girls, I do it, too. It's impossible to resist the urge ;).
