Random Musings Of A Xinher

Guess who got her haircut today?
It’s a little shorter than I wanted it but it’ll grow out.
The stylist asked me if I wanted her to style it and I said no, because the non-styled route is pretty much what my hair will look like all the time.

Due to my obsession with admiration of Peter Wingfield, I might actually break down and go see Catwoman.

Man, I am going to be in some serious trouble if this obsession admiration hits Christopher Walken proportions.

For the past 4 days, someone has knocked on my front door around 5pm every night. And for the past 4 days, I have ignored the knock.

I know it seems strange but I don’t like to answer my door unless I know who’s on the other end of it. Plus, sometimes, I’d rather not talk to whomever’s at my front door. Since I can’t go to my front door and look through the peephole without the person on the other end knowing about it, I just don’t bother.

It’s too bad I can’t have caller id for my door.

You know, I’m pretty sure television doesn’t need to be dumbed down anymore than it already is, yet shit like this makes it on the air.

UPN is premiering a new show tonight called Amish In The City.

The idea is that 5 Amish youngsters, participating in rumspringa, get to experience it all with a camera in their face 24/7, while also living with 6 non-Amish youngsters.

I am so very bothered by this but can’t really explain why. Perhaps because I have a lot of respect for the Amish people and this just feels very exploitative (is that a word?). I mean, do these Amish young’uns really know what they’re getting into, being on a reality tv show? On the other hand, no one they know is going to see the show, so I guess it doesn’t matter.


eta: Upon Googling Rumspringa, I found a bunch of links to a documentary called Devil’s Playground and a bunch of articles about how up-in-arms a lot of people are about this series. Glad to know it’s not just me.
