MAKEUP

i don’t watch a lot of t.v.. once i became a television producer, t.v. became dull and predictable but there are a few shows i do take the time out to watch when i’m not working. watching episodic shows does not happen often for me so i usually make it a feast chock full of snacks and fresh squeezed juice while my dinner is cooking in the oven. like most people, on the weekends, i eat, sleep, shop and watch dvr’d episodes of hoarders while screaming wildly at the t.v.: “this woman is as crazy as a bat! why does her husband have a hunch back from sleeping in the car and there are mushed up cats all over her house???!!!” i’ll throw my hands up in disbelief and sometimes a carrot and chunks of hummus that i’ve been snacking on will be dislodged from my fingers and go flying across the room, my dog going in for the scavenge before i can pick it up. my screaming is rhetorical but it makes me feel better. my s.o., as calmly as he always does, will look up from his 800 page book of the week and just gives me a serious side eye if i’m doing this while at his house. after the episode goes off, i’m often too nauseous to eat so i’ll go in the kitchen and clean the dishes with a lot of soap and bleach until i can barely breath from the fumes. i admit, i need an intervention for my hoarders addiction.
