So last night I headed out to Chino to visit Scoots' to meet up with her, Bose, and Adidas (sorry Tarah, I had to go with all camp names on that one!). We played on the slackline and I was also SUPER close in bringing home Gorp, a little, loveable, black kitten. If you run over him Scooter, there will be hell to pay! Anyway, while we were there we watched the season finale of ER in the motor home. (It was closer to the slackline than running in the house all the time). The point to my story is that in the first 10 minutes of the show some women basically got her legs chopped off between two cars. It was way graphic. I could have gone without seeing that.
So when I leave and get back in my car, I start having little visions of me getting chopped up in my car. Bad enough I already think I'm going to die in my car one day. I swear when I'm alone driving, I'm like Alley McBeal and I visualize doing crazy stuff. Mainly its if I just turned the wheel really hard to the left. I can see my car flying through the air. There's also this one section of I-5 that I picture myself driving off cliffs. The moral of my story is... I might be safer with you in the car, but you just never know about your safety. Don't worry, when I picture myself dying in the car, I'm always alone.
I never watch ER, and I actually did last night..not in a mobile home though.....but the leg scene WAS kinda gross. My problem with watching shows is I always notice the convenience factor. Like the med student who got a front row spot when she got to the school, and how the foreign doctor was right there when the boy called to complain about the mom....AND how the husband of the leg lady was told about his wife's legs being cut off right as the doctors moved away and you could see here bandaged up stumps....it is interesting...

The first few seasons were great, though. Who can forget the episode that Quentin Tarantino directed?
I have never seen an episode of ER.

I think ER totally has its moments. Preachy yes, but at least a top show is trying to hit middle America and their tight ass views.
