Dervish

Before Shrek hit the big screens, I could barely belief how much we were inundated with Shrek advertising, particularly in the supermarket. It was so bad, I swore never to buy anything with Shrek on the label (although most of it is junky food anyway). So I like Rudd’s proposal to ban cartoon and movie characters (like Shrek) to advertise crap ‘food’ to kids. It will certainly make the Happy Meal less Happy!

On another note, our television and DVD are on the blink. Yasmin decided to experiment with the DVD player, and now the tray won’t come out. In trying to fix the blasted thing, I accidentally snapped off the end of the jack that goes into the telly, so now you can’t watch the television unless you have an antennae (which we don’t, we are cable-reliant).

So, we missed Boston Legal and the constant murmur of Nick Jnr in the background during the day. I actually think it’s worth celebrating. I think the only show I will really miss is “Big Love” (to which I admit an addiction) but apart from that I am perfectly content not to watch the telly. Plus, the constant Nick Jnr channel is too tempting to put on to babysit Yasmin. Yippeeeee, the television is dead, long live no television.
