星期二 [ 2010-1-26 9:45:04 | watches1013 ]   Meerkats create must-see TV Our social life may have hit a new Friday night low. One of us (I won't say who, but it's not me) now looks forward to watching a show on Animal Planet about meerkats. (A meerkat is a mongoose that looks to be half cat and half weasel and walks on its hind legs.) In this other person's defense, this animal show is part reality TV and part "Desperate Housewives." Meet the Meerkats of Wisteria Lane. Yes, I know, even with the twist, it's still kind of sad, isn't it?

That was some celebrity couple I read about in a magazine at the doctor's office. So maybe Friday nights have always been a little slow. It just seems like the slowest of slow now that the husband has coaxed me into watching mongooses burrow underground, give birth, ferry their young about and hunt for worms and insects. All of which is narrated by a man who talks like he sincerely believes each mongoose has a distinct identity as well as tangible hopes and dreams for world peace and a cure for coffee breath. The narrator intones with deep concern: "Mozart is fearful what this latest development may mean for the future of the mob." The camera shows Mozart, a meerkat, standing tall, silhouetted against the setting sun. "He is probably eyeing some small rodent to devour or has caught a whiff of barbecue in the air," I huff. "No, I think he is pondering the future of the community," the husband says. "He's very smart." Some of us are more easily taken in than others.
