O.k. the suspense is over. I know the world was waiting for the latest news with bated breath about (not the economy) the state of our new TV.
Today the cable guy was here and installed the new cable box, set up the TV and made all the necessary adjustments that he thought were necessary. He was a very nice, friendly and helpful person. Explained a lot of things that probably a four year old would know but not to clear to us oldies.
Anyway, now we are in the hi-tech age. The TV works wonderfully.
This afternoon we happened to find the movie South Pacific on the TNT network and started to watch it. My wife and I both saw the movie before but we decided to see it again.
What a beautiful story! No one took off their clothes, nobody got pregnant, no sex, no strong language, no cursing. And it was still entertaining, now isn't that interesting?
It is a shame they can not make movies like that today. The closest one was Mamma Mia and because of the stupid movie going public it was not a great success. Otherwise, nothing but idiotic comedies that are not funny, horror movies that are not horrory and fiction that is more stupid than fiction.
And at the top of it those so called star performers get seven figure salaries for their so called acting.
I could probably count the real actors (actresses) on one hand, the rest are all garbage.

==============================
Today there was a lot of talk on the news of the executive compensation. As far as I know, everybody including executives are being paid to perform a certain job. The higher level one's job is the more money he makes. An executive of a finance related company supposed to do very important work while a dishwasher not so.
See what happens if they serve the food on dirty dishes at the restaurant. The dishwasher gets minimum wages and maybe a free meal. If he screws up he gets fired.
The high priced executive screws up and as a result the world economy collapses, he gets a bonus.
Why is it so important to hang on to someone who's work creates economic calamity. I would let him go to hell. Let him, or them be unemployed like the poor slob, our dishwasher.
My question is why such a person try to do good work when he knows that no matter what he does he gets rewarded.
They should get kicked out on their asses and become TV weathermen because that's another job where they have no clue about what's going on and they don't take any responsibility for whatever happens.
I got to go and enjoy my new TV.
