Vintage teens
Okay, I'm watching educational access television in Philadelphia, and I'm quite surprised to find out that there are actually teenagers in Pennsylvania who are dorky enough to participate in square dance competitions at the Pennsylvania Farm Show. And that these competitions are televised, although the cinematography leaves something to be desired: I just watched as the camera panned across about four couples' feet to zoom in on an empty square of dirt for a minute or so before jumping back to the caller.
You can learn a lot from educational access television. For example, did you know that there's a form of dancing similar to square dancing, except that the calls are more like ballroom dance steps, and the caller is called a cuer? And that "Winter Wonderland" was written by a Pennsylvania native? Well, now you do, thanks to educational access television and the Vintage Reader.
And now, thank God, it's time for House, which I keep trying to watch but keep missing. I really, really miss my ReplayTV. I also miss ACTUAL cable TV. And, you know, my husband, and my cat, and my house, and my car, and my coffee, and, well, my LIFE.
