I'm addicted to crime shows. Not CSI type shows. I mean like Forensic Files, The New Detectives, FBI Files, those types of shows. You know, with the pathetic reenactment of real life crimes, generally grizzly murders and how they're solved? (I actually have a friend that played a corpse in one of these reenactment years ago - she was GREAT at it, a natural even)

Anyway, I don't know what it is about these shows but when they're on, I can't stop watching them. I'm usually alone when I watch them because Mr. Funky hates these shows. They also scare me to death. Every time the shows are over I swear I am going to end up being murdered by a home intruder that's been stalking me or when I'm working the late shift at the gas station in rural Tennessee. Or, or, or by being poisoned by my doctor husband that no one suspects because we have a perfect, loving marriage. No one is stalking me, that I know of, I don't live in Tennessee and my hubby's not a doctor, but still...

I also love how they always find the perp (you like my use of detective lingo don't you?). But it's the meticulous WAY they catch them that I love. A piece of fiber from the trunk of a 1987 Oldsmobile found in an abandoned barn. A shell casing from an 1850 Smith and Wesson lodged in the floorboard of Mrs. Johnsons house...blah blah blah. You know what I mean. It makes me want to be a forensic investigator. I would be great at it. Mr. Funky always tells me how anal I am (and NO I don't mean THAT kind of anal you sicko's). The only thing that might hinder my success in this field is that blood makes me nauseous, I don't know if I could look at dead bodies that may or may not be mutilated in some way, and ummm, yeah, never mind. I'll stick to my desk job!

by the way...did you know that these types of shows are watched more frequently by females in the 25 - 48 year old age range then men of any age...? Just a bit of trivia for you. Carry on designers.
