« My New Addiction | All Posts | When I'm Not Laughing You'll Know Why »

Jermajesty?

I've recovered. Only they say people tend to replace one addiction with another. So i've replaced the Lempsip with Celebrity Big Brother. The other night I had insomnia and discovered it was on at 3 in the morning. There I was, watching live footage of Jermaine Jackson sleeping. I'd hit a new low.

I didn't change the channel though. I just kept watching - because i could sense something was going to happen. Maybe someone would fall out of bed. Or cough. But nothing happened. And as I sat there, I realized this is what it's come to. Watching a reality show of people sleeping who I don't care about, will never meet, and actually despise. I might as well been injecting myself with heroin while I'm at it.
But at least now i have insomnia to look forward to.

Soon I'll be back in NY and thankfully, released from this spell. Although a friend has threatened to e mail me weekly updates. What kind of friend is that?

Wondering: how is it possible that no one in that house has said anything about the fact that Jermaine has named his son Jermajesty...

Glad to hear that you're up and about, although probably not looking too attractive with a red nose.

I think that the poor child with that name has got off relatively lightly, as in celebrity world the offspring do tend to be named after the first or last thing the parents saw that day!

Like you I have been desparately sad and have found myself waiting for someone to snore, or pick their nose on Big Brother at strange times of the day; we all live in this world where we are being or watching someone else all the time so is it surprising that we find ourselves with a bowl of cereal in the morning staring blankly at a TV screen?
