i don't watch much television

my wife works four 10 hour shifts each week, so she gets 3 days off. since i don't have a job, i figure it is only fair for her to have control of our television 90% of the time she is at home.

she watches terrible television. i have told you this before.

if i am in control of the tv and she is not interested in the show, she will yammer on and on. today, i was watching top gear. i love top gear. i love cars. she is not interested in cars and she has a hard time understanding people with thick accents, so she doesn't like top gear.

what does she do? she begins reading out loud from the computer a news story about an elderly couple in georgia dying in their home. when i turn up the tv, she reads louder and louder and louder. finally, i tell her to shut up and she gets pissed.

it is ridiculous.
