the tv-chick lit correlation analysis
Nowadays, even the tube is against me. I never get to catch anything except news, parliament updates, forum discussions and silly idol contests with the woooooh and ahhhhhhhh.
Come on, tubie. I'm really sincere in investing an hr on you. Can't you like churn up something more intriguing other than idol contests?
Even my current fav drama, 9 lives eludes me. With the exception of the debut episode, the closest I've come to watch it is from the miserable 1.5 minute trailers on tv mobile. This is really getting unbecoming of you, tubie.
And hence, I took matters to my own hand which later bec0me a semi-obsession with romance comedy. Movies, books and all. It's a hobby that optimises utility with minimum participation requirements. It's like sitting on an express train, watching a fast-forward, fragmented version of other people's lives. Fragmented because only the happiest moments are hand-picked from the whole and gel together. Scene after scene of bright, dazzling smiles and little heartache here and there. Books stuffed to the brim with pockets of candylike sweetness and excessive pinkness sit on the shelves, flaunting and teasing wandering eyes to take them home. With an ally in the uncooperative tv, it's not too difficult to persuade one to bring the chick lit home.
On closer observation, there's a negative correlation between chick lit and tv programmes. The more drab tv is, the higher the interest in chick lit. Chick lit and tv are neither joint products nor perfect substitutes of each other. Perhaps they are more of a portfolio of risky assets. Risky because excessive consumption of either product causes one to lose sensibility and rationality. However, with careful management and proper calculation of investment ratio, these risky assets are none but harmless, temporary deviations from a more serious course of action.
