Working from home has given me the option of watching day time television. The Olympics have been on constantly which is incredibly entertaining and dangerously distracting. During commercial breaks I strayed to a few other channels to check out what else was on and I've decided I haven't been missing much.
Except when it comes to the Spanish channel's telenovelas and we get THREE Spanish so at about one in the afternoon there are three telenovelas to enjoy.They are INCREDIBLE. The other day I flipped to the channel and there was a woman dressed in a very tight black cowboy outfit holding a chicken and a gun by a river. She said (in Spanish) "Hey, do you remember me?!?" "Do you remember me?!?" I was a little taken aback but she wasn't addressing me but a guy pinned down on the bank of the river by two other guys with knives. Then she took the chicken she was holding and threw it in the river. The chicken flapped for a few seconds struggling against the water, then sunk to its watery grave. The camera focused on the little bubbles coming up to the surface. The man looked up from the drowned chicken, squinted and asked Barbarita?? And she said YES! But I haven't been called Barbarita for a long time... Now that is television.
