reality tv

Man, whoever tought of the idea of reality tv is a tv genious. They can be cheaper than most drama (where actor/treses get paid per episode, etc) or contest show (winner get paid every episode) where in a reality tv, only the winner had to be paid and they appeared for an entire season. Plus the part when viewer vote, they can charge callers for the vote. Imagine if 1 mil vote at 25c ea, for last couple of eps. No wonder lots of tv start to produce reality tv and there's so many of them, ranging from rudiculous to great. My personal fav atm is so you think you can dance, man seeing them dance made me wanna dance too and all time fav - amazing race.
Still i wish producer could select what reality tv to air or make, some of them is really stupid with only aim to entertain and show exagerated emotion to viewer or show determination for the wrong purpose (Greed for wealth). I wish they could make show than can teach us more of something, like amazing race - background history of countries. But, even amazing race start to lose its educational value. Alot of the challenges is for the sake of challenges unlike their first few season.
well better stop journal, if not i could rant and rant until tommorow

just my 4c. reading

Today i re-read my copy of Dresden Files. Why? I'm not sure, i accidentally pick it among my other collection, and start reading. And Bam! i realize that i had finished a quarter of the book. I think i know why i like it so much. Harry Dresden, in a way is like Peter parker! We,reader, can read his tought and he's pretty gutsy, chatty and jokes in mist of danger. Not many main char convey his tought as much as dresden or parker in a way. They both are also interestingly have problem with their life and not very well received by the their community (parker-bugle, dresden-white council). I think i will be re-reading the rest of the book within this week.
