another reason i keep counting the days to moving out, commentary. i forget about it when i’m the only one home, sitting watching tv is a quiet veg time, as soon as dad comes home, the tv becomes someone to converse with. i don’t know if he thinks the people in the tv will react to his comments, or if he thinks he’s giving me life lessons by telling me the bad stuff on tv. either way i ignore them. tonight when fox mulder said “i just followed the star” my dad’s response was just “sheesh” and disgust. i decided a quick comment by me would do the trick so i simply said “we don’t need commentary.” of course he had to respond in a way that lets me know that “this is his house.” three more months.
