The only time I ever see television commercials is when I visit my parents or in-laws. It feels like having some kind of schizophrenic break with reality.

I almost can’t believe that watching commercials is normal to many people, or that it was ever normal to me

Same. Commercials are shocking. It’s one of those “People…live like this?” moments when I happen to see one.

I sometimes go months without glimpsing one but when I do, it’s like I’ve been transported into some hellworld of manic ruination, some Stygian mortification of being and self.
