HGTV: The First Big Sign I'm Past 30
I just realized something today. I spend entirely way too much time watching shows on HGTV named "Curb Appeal," "Divine Design," "Design Remix," "House Hunters," "Mission: Organization," and "Kitchen Trends." What happened to me?
The big three oh, that's what. It seemed that the moment I turned 30, I started watching HGTV. Whereas July of this same year, I pooh poohed HGTV as the biggest waste of cable bandwidth, after August 12th, I actually chose to watch it over "Girls Next Door," the reality show with some of Hugh Hefner's "wimmins."
This is all the more sad, given that one of my favorite shows is "Old School" and one of my favorite scenes is when the college guys ask Will what he's doing this weekend. He basically replies, "Oh you know, going to Home Depot and if we've got some time Bed Bath and Beyond." Of course, then, I laughed out loud and thought, "No way am I ever going that route." (Insert Gorilla noises here with a healthy amount of body scratching for effect)
But then today, when there was a small pause in "Divine Design" which allowed the TV to be blank and the screen to act as a partially effective mirror - I saw myself sitting on the couch holding my dog, watching an interior design show. Even worse, I actually thought to myself, "Wow, some of these design chicks are hot."
Now, some of the uninformed out there may think, "Well, I'm sure if you turn 30 and you own a house, you'd want to start to do stuff with it." Well, that'd be a little mroe understandable if true, but truth be told, I own no house. We rent a townhouse, to which 90% of the stuff I see on HGTV can't be applied. Damn this crazy real estate market (future blog warning).
Somewhere within my emasculated self, there really is a man. No serious.
Anyways, enough messing around. Gotta get back to the TV - "Design Remix" is coming on soon! Oooh and that chick is hot too... or at least I'm rationalizing she is.
