In my blog index, a section only I, as the blog owner, can see, are several “draft” posts. Most are just a title, something to remind me of an idea for a possible entry. Place holders of sorts. One of these draft entries says just “TV Guide.” It’s been sitting there for months, taunting me, challenging me to flesh it out. The idea – which seemed so fruitful when I saved it into the index – is to take the bits and pieces of my cat-related activities and distill them resemble television listings.
Today, for some reason, the post finally took shape. Somehow I managed to transform my mundane life into talk shows, comedy, drama, and even a little education. Cable channels, broadcast channels and community access – my “TV life” has it all. So sit down, grab your remote, and choose a show.
