Another Monday, another General Hospital.

Don't commercials really irk you? Once I was blessed with DVR, commercials seemed that much harder to put up with. I record everything, even if I'll be there to watch it. Like right now, General Hospital is on, and I have perfect capability to watch it, and yet, I won't until at least twenty minutes in so that my brain is not forced to sit through "Now I'm breathing better, with Spiriva!" or "Pristique has helped to improve my depression." With all these medicinal commercials, I'm starting to wonder if ABC thinks that really ill people watch soap operas. Well there's definitely something wrong with them.
