Logging

TV:  Aborted attempt to continue with Girls

There is nothing on TV.  At lunchtime, when I'm eating, I like to turn something on and take a break from the computer, but there is really nothing.  So I tried this week to pick up again with Girls on the episode when she goes home.  Over the course of five days, I've turned the episode off 5 times.  I find the show to be unwatchable, but thought it deserved a second chance basically because of all the shop-talk amongst the chattering classes.  Why does the show make me cringe so?  My only feeling while watching is just "get me out of here."  In that respect, it resembles my experience trying to watch torture porn movies - they just don't interest me.

In some sense, I find relief in this, and hopefully will find myself in no more debates about the show.  My repulsion is primal and similar to the smell of bad milk.  I don't feel no need to debate or explain why I don't want to drink bad milk or why it is bad.
