double down and st. elsewhere

So even though I had a birthday earlier this week, it was pretty uneventful, therefore not worth posting about.

Instead I want to talk about the KFC Double Down. It's a bacon and cheese chicken sandwich, except the bun is actually the chicken! It's some bacon and cheese between two fried chicken fillets! And I tried it yesterday. I found it delightfully sinful, which means I enjoyed it quite a bit. But I probably wouldn't eat it every day. Having said that, however, I want another one. Someone get me another KFC Double Down, please.

Somebody in an online chatroom thought I was actually going to have a heart attack or vomit after eating the KFC Double Down. But come on, really? Is some bacon and cheese between two moderately sized chicken tenders really that bad? In my opinion (not scientific, but still somewhat educated) it can't be any worse than eating a lot of fried chicken and some sides. And nobody ever thinks of heart attacks or strokes when they think of that. No, they think of that as a wholesome hearty meal. So why all the stigma towards the KFC Double Down?

Speaking of things that send people to hospitals, I started watching the old TV show St. Elsewhere on Hulu. It's all right, I suppose, though it's certainly not overly funny or dramatic. Also apparently it's all in the imagination of some autistic child named Tommy Westphall. But I only just started, which means I'm only on the fourth episode of the first season, so I'm certainly nowhere near the existential final episode that everybody raves about. Oh well, all in due time.
