TV Wars

My computer has been in the shop for two weeks. There may be some technical term I should use instead of "in the shop" when discussing computers but I am not aware of it. At any rate, I am sitting on the couch with my husband while he watches some sort of American Pawn Storage Auction Picker Wars show, as he is frequently inclined. This is usually my cue to retreat to the office and play with the computer. Since that's not an option, I'm still on the couch with my nook color, typing a post with one finger. So this won't be long. There are a lot of things I don't understand about these shows. The appeal of buying and selling junk. Driving across the country trying to make a $20 profit on a rusty doorknob. Why these shows are on the History Channel. Why this man, having barns piled to the rafters with questionable treasures, is being affirmed for his life choices while his cosmic twin on TLC is the focus of a hoarding intervention. "That guy is on the wrong show," I helpfully point out to Jack. We both miss the computer.
