I didn't use to laugh at TV Shows...

...unless they were really, truly funny. I do it way more often now. Maybe it's a product of living alone, and being awake into the late (some say early) hours.

I think that's a problem, though, because it means that I am becoming banal. It means that I am de-valuing yet another one of the things I used to hold in highest regard: Good comedy, or even better, unintentional comedic situations.

I still hold that my sensibility to certain events is intact, but the protective shield of condescendence that I held around it has cracked with every laugh I would previously have thought undeserved.

Maybe I will become a more normal person to be around, because of this detriment. But I am not very happy at the effect it has upon my already warped self-image.
