I need to stop reading the news on Thursday’s. Serena and I are normally a day behind on our television watching, which means, we normally watch American Idol on Wednesday and Thursdays… and every week, the media has ruined everything! I had no idea American Idol was still so darn noteworthy.
Part of my daily routine is checking in on the various news agencies around the world… and every Thursday I forget to guard myself from the truth… and every Thursday these news agencies run front page headlines on the newest Idol castoff. Maddening! Have you no shame?!?
Listen… I admit it… I dig American Idol. However, when you know who’s going to be sent home it is an incredible boring show. Some weeks, when Serena and I are busy, we don’t get around to watching American Idol until Thursday night, so we watch the performances and the results back to back. This is about three hours worth of American Idol… now… imagine watching those three hours knowing who gets sent home… and pretending you don’t know because you don’t want to ruin the anticipation for the person sitting next to you. Every week!
ARG!
Okay, so I have this outlook task that reminds me to read the news every morning. Today, I tweaked it. It will no longer generate a “Read the news” task on Thursday… and just to be safe… I programmed another task that says, “DON’T READ THE NEWS TODAY” that only regenerates on Thursday’s. I think I am ready… next week will be different. I hope.
