ChapterZero

I started running again on Sunday night. Between sucking down cold air for the past couple of mornings and nights, and leaving my overhead fan on at night to avoid overheating, and thereby having a constant stream of air rushing over my neck, I’m dealing with a sore throat. So, I decided to spend the day at home — theoretically, I can do my work here just as well,and I’ll be in range of all my lozenges and fluids.

Anyhow, I started off my morning by checking out my blog roll backlog. Jam Donaldson did a post on the Black in America series on CNN on her Conversate is not a Word blog. At the time, I wanted to see this, but not having cable, I would have to youtube it, or otherwise stream it, and it’s just not that crucial to me. So I guess I’m a bad person too? I’ve seen several of these types of shows, and I don’t usually learn anything worthwhile, or hear any good suggestions, so I don’t think I’ve missed anything major.

On the humorous side, this was one of the comments on Jam’s post. Is this sarcasm, or is she serious?:

i haven’t watched it…but i did dvr it. i want to check out how we are being portrayed for the white folks.

it would be interesting if the next big program was called “being white in america.” now i know most sitcoms are predominately white, as are “reality” shows. but i want to know how they really live. gimme their secrets. let me see into their houses and their true thoughts and feelings. actually i want to tape them when they don’t know that they are being taped.
