Go Heidi!! My youngest sister,  Heidi, submited a terribly embarrassing fan video to youtube in a competition to get to go backstage and hang with the Wondergirls during their concert and looky looky who’s standing amongst 5 asian women and still looks short!   Way to go sis!  I have a bit of a cofession to make,  at first it was pretty easy to ridicule the overseas bands that she was listening to. They all sounded like flock of seagulls with a cold. But lately, her taste has been leaning towards teh awesome and I gotta admit at least passing interest. OK, I’m now a fan of the wondergirls. They took time out for my sister, I’ll buy a damn CD.

We have begun Clark Family experiment number 58008 (hehehehe, I’ll never grow up) in which we take a somewhat normal American family room and remove the television. Our scientists first got the idea after watching the workings of the Clark family during the upgrade of their home flooring. After over a week of no living room television, the following observations had been made.

Preschoolus Energeticus had survived the transition fairly well. Undoubtedly the ability of being able to watch TV on his own personal computing device had helped as did the Radio Transmission Receiver (Also called the “boom box”) placed into his resting space.

The adult male in the home seemed to brighten noticeably when the TV was ritualistically wheeled into the garage and placed under a tarp. He had never seemed to be especially attached to the TV and was far from mourning it’s passage.

We were most interested in the females response. The introduction of the TV to the Clark male had been at the behest of her guardian, a remarkably small species of male known as Kumar, back when the mating ritual had still been in it’s early stages.  To our white coated voyeurs amazement, the female of the species was at first supportive and then excited about the prospect of an honest to goodness sitting room.

We  have determined that this experiment will continue until August 26th of 2009 or until such a time that any single member of the Clark home has to be dragged bodily away from the Home Theater section of BestBuy.  Should it succeed, that would be awesome.
