So I'm on vacation and so far I've watched too much HGTV. When did I get so boring? I remember a few years ago thinking HGTV was the most boring channel on television but now I'm completely obsessed with it.
I saw this one episode of House Hunters from 2007 where this guy bought a new condo with 100% financing and two mortgages for his first place. I wonder how fucked he is right now.
Then I watch a show about remodeling and I'm all oooooh! Look at that flooring!
When I was a kid my birth father used to watch This Old House and take me along with him and my first stepmother when they toured the Parade of Homes. I thought I might leap to my death from the roof of one of those fancy houses just to get away from the torture. I never understood how the fuck they could be interested in this shit. And now - now I think that sounds fun. Eight-year-old me looks at Now me and says "What the fuck have you become?" Eight-year-old me had a foul fucking mouth.
Anyway, it's intriguing to me that I find these things so much more watchable now that I'm looking for a house. And at a party last weekend while others were playing cards I was standing in a remodeled kitchen, asking the host about his Caesar Stone countertops.
When I did I get so boring? What happened?
HAHAHAHAHAHA... well, it happens, Emily. We all get boring at one point in our lives :-(

ReplyDeleteI've been an addict for years, glad to hear you're enjoying the fix. If it were only as fun as it looks. My next place will be a simple box with a square of sand and rock as a yard, landscaping is such an ass-kicker.
