Oh TV, why have you forsaken me?

This writer's strike is seriously pissing me off. There hasn't been anything good on TV for like 3 months now. Some of the writer's union's demands are reasonable, but others are the usual union bullshit where they want to control the whole industry, and frankly it's disgusting. Thousands of makeup artists, cameramen, stage hands, and other entertainment workers - the non-famous people who really need the steady paychecks - are out of work because the writers want bullshit like the right to engage in sympathy strikes without penalty, or the right to unionize reality TV writers (HAH! Best oxymoron I've ever heard of). Thanks a lot jerks. Go back to writing Lost and Battlestar Galactica.

I can't stand reality TV. Who gives a shit about Hulk Hogan's family, or who some C-list star picks to be his latest girlfriend. And what is with all the shows about families with large numbers of kids? Last time I checked, getting knocked up wasn't some kind of special skill.

I don't like to watch a ton of TV, but I'm really anxious for Lost to return and make a steady schedule for the remaining 48 episodes, so I'll be happy when the strike is resolved. Classes have started up again, so I'm pretty busy for the most part. I am working on my 2007 music year-end wrap-up, it's just taking longer than I expected. I apparently bought 55 albums that were released in 2007, so it's a lot to organize. But it is coming.
