celebrity crack detox.
it's not going to be easy and it's not going to be pretty.
but i must do it. i must stop my addiction to celebrity crack. after listening to a recent program on bbc, i decided that i agree with one of the callers: there are more important matters on which to educate myself than brangelina and jessica simpson and the rest of the lot. i seriously know way too much about celebrity. i've admitted the problem. there.
now the hard part, for the next month, every time i feel like clicking onto popsugar or the daily dish! or any number of the embarrassingly-high number of gossip sites i have bookmarked, i am instead opting to become erudite in a topic i actually need to know. hopefully, this will make me a more well-rounded individual.
because knowing where ashley/catherine + michael/denise + charlie vacations certainly isn't doing me — or the world — any favors.

i'm just getting into the whole celebrity-gossip scene, and already it's a problem. i find myself clicking over to the superficial or dlisted before i even visit pitchfork- and that is just unheard of!

I know! I feel so shallow when I get sucked into that stuff ... but I do, over and over again. Why? I believe strongly that it's terrible that all our heroes are entertainers, and I hate that I am such a voyeur.
It's such narcotic, light reading ... but I've lately picked up a few unread "real" novels, in hopes of retraining my mind ;-)
