¡Maldita Time Change!

I still don't understand why the U.S. has to change the time twice a year. Sure there's the whole thing about energy savings and stuff which I feel is all a load of bull*!@#. Why does Indiana have to be the state that does things correctly for a change? Anyways, I thought that I wouldn't be affected by it hear in the DR, but alas, it has affected me. No, it didn't change my sleeping schedule or anything like that, it affected my TV schedule.

Every weekday night at 8 PM in the DR, my Doña and I watch a program on Telemundo called 12 Corazones, probably the best dating game show ever invented. Better than Love Connection, Blind Date, or any combination thereof. So the show lasts for an hour, and at 9 PM a Telenovela (read: cheesy soap opera....probably worse than a soap opera actually) at which I will usually retire to my room to read or watch a movie on my computer. So here's where the time change affects me. Since Telemundo is based in the States, and the States just moved an hour ahead, but the show airs at the same time in the States, the show now comes on an hour earlier here. Now this just completely messes up my whole nighttime schedule. Now I have to watch 12 Corazones with my Doña during dinner and don't just get to relax and drink café and comment on the show the whole time. This also means that I have to watch this stupid Telenovela.

If you want to know what I'm going to have to suffer through check out La Traición. It comes on at 7 PM on Telemundo in Chicago, CST. As much as I want to get into liking the Telenovelas I just can't get myself to. I've tried to imagine that they're a reality show on MTV and things like that, but I just can't get into them. I've come to the point where I can pretty much understand everything that is going on in them now....but still...nothing. This one especially bad because it is set in the like 1800s or early 1900s and they are covered up to their necks and never show any skin. If they showed skin every once in a while I might be able to put up with it, but they can't just give me a break now could they. Oh well...it's now the 11th of March and I plan on moving out at the beginning of April, at which time I will sadly no longer have access to cable television, although I will not have to watch the maldita telenovela either. I don't know which is worse.

OK...that's it for my venting for now. I should be appreciating the fact that I actually have a TV and cable here, but no, I'd rather complain about it. Adios!
