Just when you thought it couldn't get better, Apple came along and improved iTunes. How, you may ask?
They put Shark Week up for sale.
That's right, more than just songs and the usual ABC Family drivel (although the first season of 'Wildfire' was admittedly quite good, if a little 'Seventh Heaven' for my tastes), iTunes has begun selling educational television for portable viewing. Moms around the world are grateful, because now their kids can watch the Discovery channel on the way to and from places instead of having to talk in the car.
Wait, this wasn't supposed to be a cynical diatribe. The previous irritation can be explained away by one thing: jealousy. Yours truly does not have an iPod with video capabilities. Oh, I know, I know--I have a ginormous screen on my laptop--which, strangely enough, is on the floor instead of my lap while I get some serious cramps of the trapezius muscle from typing in a prone position for no apparent reason--that allows me to watch things like the entire second season of 'Veronica Mars.' I also have cable, which enables me to watch the Discovery Channel to my heart's content. But come on, people--this is Shark Week. Shark Week is a once-a-year occurence and I missed the 2006 installment because I didn't know it was happening. How can I pass this up?
And yet I must. Because I, dear reader, blew my spare cash on beads. Piles and piles of beads. Including a ruby in the rough, a large polished chunk of Sleeping Beauty turquoise, strands of watermelon tourmaline, citrine, faceted garnet, blue topaz, jade, green garnet chunks, peridot chips, carnelian disks, turquoise chips and rounds, and some lime colored turquoise that is to die for. And lots of silver to make it all pretty. Ladies and gentlemen, Lush Grammar, jewelry by Kathryn Hunter, is kicking into high gear. Real business cards, license and all. It's going to be awesome. And hopefully profitable.
So, yeah. That's why no Shark Week. At least not yet. And no Johnny Bravo.
That is all.
