I'm watching this cooking show, or whatever you should call it, and now I know why people around me are so confused. Today they're at a vegan restaurant that serves salmon and turkey?!

Born in the 80
Mood:  quizzical
Topic: Tv
Once again, I'm stuck in front of the telly. They're debating people born in 1980's, and how lazy they are and how they've had everything handed to them. That's so wrong! I'd say that the people born in the 70's, and people like us, are more lazy! The 20 year olds I've met, and seen on tv and in magazines etc are ambitious, and some even own their companies even though they're still in high school. They are into politics and they care about getting good grades. Am I wrong?

Where have all the tv-doctors gone?

I went with my friend F to the big hospital today, and as usual I went home disappointed. No Joel, Lukas or Travis in sight. If there were, the visits to the doctor might be bearable, but as it is now... All I get is an old Finnish man or an old Norweigan man or some other old man that doesn't even bother to find out what's wrong with you. Not even someone amusing like Dr. House. Damn you, non-tv-doctors!

Healthy Americans?

Topic: Tv
Once again I got stuck watching Oprah. Today they were discussing food, and healthy food for teenagers/kids. Apparently, 80 % of American schools (we're talking 12 years old here) have vending machines. I don't know what it's like nowadays, but back in the day we weren't even allowed to bring chips or soda or candy to school. And when the physician suggested that peanutbutter and jelly (on white bread of course) or pretzels were good lunch options, I just wanted to hit the little man in the tv (I have an anger problem, I know) ...and when he suggested that the kids, if they didn't want to eat their apple au naturel, could dip it in peanutbutter I just had to turn off the tv!

I'm starting to understand why no one cares about politics any more, at least not here in Sweden. I ended up watching a live broadcast from a debate today, and there's absolutely no action!! There's a guy with a lisp talking and the rest of the room talking among themselves or just doodling on a piece of paper. The most amusing thing all day was a guy called Anti...and he was actually for the suggestion, not against it. The topic in itself was interesting though, and kinda important. They were supposed to vote on gay marriages (when they were done doodling, they passed the law...bill...thingy).

Where are all the girls?
Mood:  quizzical
Topic: Tv
I watched a tv-show where comedians compete against each other tonight and as usual the girls were much funnier. They have a wider range. The male comedians here in Sweden are old and tired and most of then have been doing the same jokes all their lives. But still the men get all the attention, and the title as Sweden's second sexiest (the no. one spot is always taken by an old rude outdated fancy actor). Why aren't the girls on the sexiest lists? Female comedians just aren't that sexy? Why don't they get even half the attention the men get? Why aren't there more female comedians on Swedish tv??

Religion or just a bad excuse?

I got stuck in front of the telly again this morning. They were debating religion (Islam) and how much religion could be integrated into Swedish schools. According to the law, Swedish school are supposed to be free of religion, but still people have the right to practice their religion. One of the schools (a Swedish school somewhere in the country side) present had basically adapted the entire school to their few religious students. There was a room for prayer, halal food in the cafeteria and the kids had to wear full-length clothes when going to the pool. The kids even got separate showers (a luxery only very allergic kids had, back in our day).

But the most discussed topic of the day was the skipping class. The religious kids got to pick and choose what classes they didn't want to have. Sex ed. of course. But music, and math, why did they have to skip that? One of the students even admitted, they'd asked him what classes to get rid of and he just skipped the ones he didn't like. This does give the kids a big disadvantage when they later finish school. They don't get a complete education, or a diploma. They're not even allowed to go to high school. They can never be a part of the Swedish society completely.

How come all of the few actual videos that they still actually show on MTV are at least a couple of years old?

Dear Santa, all I want for Christmas is ZTV (and some other stuff too).

Last night

Topic: Tv

I actually finished the book last night. It only took me six months, and I barely have an idea of what it's about...but I did it. Yay me!

And that's even while watching good looking people being doctors and nurses. How come everyone on tv looks fairly good, and I'm not talking about George Clooney, but the people on reality-tv? Wearing Scrubs. When I have to go and see a physician it's always an old man with a big gut and a weird accent!
