View From the Bushes

Tonight is another episode of The Apprentice. I'm not sure why I like this show so much. Perhaps it should be included as one of my many vices -- I'm not sure. It is nice, however, to see a reality show about something I can actually relate to. I have never been stranded on a desert island, forced to eat intestines, or relocated to a distant city to live with a group of 'stereotypes,' but I have had to deal with conceited idoits in a business setting on numerous occasions, so maybe that's it. If you assumed that (on occasion) I am one of those conceited idiots you would be correct.

Last week was a clip show, which is the bane of TV everywhere, particularly when you have seen the shows they're taking the clips from. On the other hand, if you are trying to get into the show, then reading the synopsis of the clip show (the link above) is a pretty good way to do it. Of course, Omarosa has been fired so the whole apocalyptic battle between pure evil and everyone else no longer takes center stage, but I have high hopes despite this.

In other news, I'm continuing to slog through the Ambrose, Lewis and Clark Biography. I guess slog might not be the right word; I don't want to give the impression that it's not enjoyable, only that it's been slow. Also one of my friends has been bugging me to read The Life of Pi for some time so I went ahead and ordered a used hardback copy from Half.com. At this rate, I may average a half a book a month... I'm pretty excited about that.
