In All Things TV
I can’t wait til I’m old.
It’s going to be great. I’ll spend all my time watching reality TV, which by then will be on some sort of virtual reality headset where you can interact with program (it’ll be like Choose Your Own Adventure, only with young, attractive people screaming at each other). I plan to completely stop exercising (because at that point who cares?) and begin writing gay romance novels under the pen name “Gaston Lamont.”
For all of you who just can’t wait to get old, here’s a taste of what it’s like*. Using this Web site you can write to the studios of your favorite shows, telling them why they should cave to the demands of the WGA and end the strike. It’s all set up beforehand, so you don’t have to buy a stamp or anything.
*If you didn’t know, old people love writing letters. Usually, it’s handwritten or done on typewriter (smudged with corrective fluid).
Ok, I just wrote like twelve. I feel ancient and crotchety.
You know, that’s something I miss about my old job: the crazy old people letters. There was one lady in Queens who wrote to us every six weeks about her deep affection for Nicole Kidman. It was sweet, if weird. We stopped getting the letters about a year and a half ago, and Former Coworker Ryan and I decided she must have died.
And Dan, if you start writing gay romance novels as Gaston Lamont now, I will totally read them. Hell, I know people at Penguin. They’ll publish anything.
