I find myself wanting to go rent something mindless and violent as an antidote. I iwll even sit and watch some insipid japanese based cartoon with my ten year old just becaseu I know noone in a frilly dress will be required to bear a tragic burden with a stiff upper lip for at least 30 minutes. Maybe SU is right; having a TV is not a good idea.

Just hope your wife never reads the "twilight" books by stephanie meyer.
