Boiling blood

Anyone who knows me, knows I LOVE KU Basketball. I love it so much that I decided to stay home and watch the game instead of going to dinner at A Passage to India. It would have been a free meal and a meal outside of my home, two things that rarely happen for me. Yet, I like it so much that I decided to fore go the dinner and eat something here. However, everyone in the CW Kansas viewing area missed the first 19minutes of the game, basically the entire first half. The stupid CW Kansas must have had some kind of technical difficulty and therefore was running (out of all programming in the entire world) WWE Friday Night Smackdown!! OMG, I would rather do a presentation naked under fluorescent lighting to an auditorium of thousands than watch five minutes of that show. I was dying! Alex mentioned that the WWE mayhem isn't much different than Days of Our Lives... Isn't he funny? How ridiculous is that? :) Days of Our Lives is high art.. Fine acting.. Oscar quality really.
The really sad thing is that I was reduced to the level of person that I used to hate when I worked at Ch. 3. I actually called the CW to complain/ask what was going on. Of course, the line was busy b/c I can guarantee you that literally hundreds of people were trying to do the same thing. I will never forget the night that one of the Ch. 3 weather radar maps blocked the score on a NBA playoff game. For about one straight hour, every time I picked up the phone, someone would cuss at me. I have NEVER had any group of people call me such names or yell at me so much. I now understand.....
It's halftime, so (breathe in, breathe out) I will look forward to the second half...

That is so frustrating! I would have called the station, too. What a bummer. Good thing we creamed the other team. Did you catch the awesome football game last night? Holy lordy, I can't believe we are 10-0! Rock Chalk!

I love that you compared your hatred for watching WWE to NOT ONLY giving a presentation naked, but doing so "under flourescent lighting"! hahaha.

Welcome to Kelly's world!!!
