Unless you are abnormally prescient, you don't have the faintest idea what's going to happen to you in the day ahead as you pull on your socks and underwear in the morning. Sure, you plan to finish the pile of work that's getting dusty on top of your desk, grab some lunch, go to a work meeting at 2 and go home to a dinner of baked salmon and a nice salad.
Tell me how often that works out. It's more like you get to work and your pc is down, and it takes the IT guy an hour to get to you, and then the boss wants to talk about the O'Hoolahan account, and you wind up having to eat crackers out of the machine for lunch, and there's a cake for some joker you don't even know, but it's his birthday....
Life rarely works out like you plan for it to, which is why I don't like that the guide channel on cable TV puts the little synopsis on the screen when you're streaming a show. "Rusty feels guilty when he's caught rummaging through Pat's trash can. Vernon forgets to hit the ATM and has to bum a dollar to get a soda at lunch. Half of the office is being transferred to Akron, and half of the half doesn't know where Akron even is. And Danny discovers the true meaning of life when he meets a Tibetan working at the emissions test station."
Excuse me, but I would rather have these things come as a surprise to me, as they do in real life.
I don't want to have to worry about Stewie being forced to throw Rupert in the trash! Let the stories come as surprises.
