So about watching SyFy, the show we watch is Eureka. Sheriff Jack Carter, the law in town, often has these after-the-fact situations when he comes rushing back into the room to find out where somebody lives or what the directions are to a location he was already on his way to. Well I feel his pain. I do this all the time. It makes me roll my eyes at myself. And usually it’s in the form of sending an email….and then another to add on something I forgot….and then another, and another, and…you get the idea.
Anyway, sitting at my desk last Friday morning, seconds after posting to Facebook that the blog is up about my addiction to Relationships, I see the musical-tie-in…..
♫♪
might as well face it you’re Addicted
to Love ♪♫
Geeze! Why didn’t I see that before? What a great title for that blog had I only recognized it before hitting 'publish'. Hindsight is a buggar! And it’s not just this moment. Just like the Sheriff, I have a lifetime of these moments! Thankfully, I just let it go and laugh it off. It’s not worth losing any sleep over.
So I wonder. Does everyone other than me really enjoy watching TV? And is anyone out there like me and the Sheriff ......in your rush to living life.....
do you forget to ….
Hold on....just give
it a minute!
Happy Mother’s Day to all you
Moms and Someone Specials!
None of us would be where we are
today without you.
Yay Moms!
No, I'm not addicted to television. I have just a few television shows I watch, to-wit: Ghost Hunters, Duck Dynasty, Swamp People, Supernatural and the News. Those are the only television shows I will actually plan to sit down and watch. If I am caught watching anything else, I am usually either crocheting or doing needlepoint because, like you, I am bored. Since I get up by 4:00 every morning, around 7:00 pm I am bone tired and getting ready to fall into bed. Watching television with hubby is my wind-down time.
ReplyDeleteAnd Yes, I do finish something and then hit send only to think, wait, I forgot to add... Guess I get into a hurry.
And do you really know the Robertsons? I am so excited. Not for me, but for my sister. She really wants to meet Si. ;)
Cheryl, maybe that's half the problem for me....by the time I sit down to watch anything it's late in the day and I'm done. If I sit still I fall asleep because beyond the writing and taxi mom-ing and all, I've usually ridden 5-10 miles on my bike and let's face it, I can only go so far. However...if I pick up a book, I can read all night long! :D
DeleteAbout the Robertsons....I'm not sure yet. I sent out a text and am waiting for a response.
That's my problem too, Lesia. Once I sit down, I'm done for the day. Body has to snooze. LOL!
DeleteI am not addicted to TV but I do enjoy it. Mostly. I watch a few things that I would not if not for The Guy. (Mostly SyFy. Certainly, monsters, space ships, and general weirdness.) He likes for me to watch TV with him. And how can I not? He is so totally supportive of everything I do. And on the other he drug me kicking and screaming to the worlds of Buffy and Firefly, two of my all time favorites.
ReplyDeleteI can do two things at once so I proof, work crossword puzzles, and play on my tablet while I watch.
As for that other. You could have changed the title. I don't watch Eureka. He does. I tried.
Oh that I could, Jean. But for some reason it's unacceptable for me to bring other electronics to the TV zone. Otherwise I would play with Pinterest. I think they're secretly afraid I'll read a book hidden in my phone. But I can't endure the glares I get from the nerdettes. Bringing yarn and needles is okay, just not the other.
DeleteBrother :/
LTC hates for me to knit or read or do anything other than watch tv with him. Drives me nuts! Like you, I'm bored. Or at least I've got to be doing something to keep me awake. LOL!
DeleteI don't like TV. It's a time drain. And I get so annoyed with cliffhangers that I have to wait AT LEAST a week to know what happens next. I'd much rather watch a movie. Seriously, I rarely watch TV, except while I'm at the gym. It's a distraction, plain and simple, and I avoid it.
ReplyDeleteBut that's just me. And we don't have cable. We mostly just watch movies.
Wow! I admire you so much for being able to resist tv. When I think about all I could get done without sitting in front of the one-eyed seeing god, I cringe. Way to go, Melanie!
DeleteYes! I have a kindred spirit! Yay Melanie!
ReplyDeleteOh, and....(you knew it was coming, right?)...if it was just me in the house, I probably wouldn't even own a TV. I can watch Netflix on my phone or computer. I'm good with that.
DeleteWatch on your phone? Seriously? Okay, here's the thing. I don't get all this phone love. I have a 21 inch monitor. I know it. I just measured. My laptop is big too, but not that big. Too lazy to measure. As for my TV, it's a big football watching TV. Again with the no measuring. So I can't see getting on the internet or watching a movie on my phone. Not that I could. I paid $49. for it at Target. It does not afford me the opportunity. Which is fine. I mean, how could you even tell who caught the ball? Wouldn't the numbers just be too tiny?
DeleteBut see...I don't watch football. Just movies. And even then, I'm on my bike riding fast to nowhere. And that's only because I can't read on the bike...it wiggles too much and I get bike-sick. Sigh. Besides, I have the lovely iPhone which I can see good enough so long as there's no subtitles. :D
DeleteI love my iPhone. Did I say that? I do. It's pink, too.
DeleteFootball without a big screen tv? Horrors!
DeleteI rarely watch TV. Writing is a second job that takes up evenings and weekends. Hate reality shows. I have 3 shows I watch: Supernatural, Walking Dead and Hell on Wheels. If you haven't seen HOW, it's a terrific Western series. I can't wait for the new season to begin!
ReplyDeleteAh! Here's my kindred spirit. Patricia and I love us some Winchester brothers! Yay!!
DeleteLove Hell on Wheels and I did like The Walking Dead during the first season. Haven't watched much of it since. My mother can't stand the gore.
Patricia, I LOVED Hell on Wheels and can wait for it to start again.
DeleteKathy, you and your mom need separate televisions. I have a couple if you want them.
Lesia, what a great way to send us off into the weekend! Love this blog post!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite shows are: college football (almost any team- LOL!), Supernatural, Vampire Diaries, The Secret Circle, Ghost Hunters, Revenge and American Idol. Other than that, I really don't watch tv. Well, I have taken in a few Dancing with the Stars this season. ;)
I like televsion a lot. Of course, I have my favorites but at night I often just channel surf until I find something that fits my mood. There really is alomost always something on that suits my mood.
ReplyDeleteLike, Kathy, I often watch it while doing something else like writing a blog post. :-)
Oppps, I forgot to say that I really enjoyed reading the blog and it was fun to talk and read about what else everyone else was watching and how they felt about watching t.v.
ReplyDeleteI was on a field trip all day and just didn't get a chance to comment until now.
Good Blog, Lesia!
Good post, Lesia! And knitting is a great thing to do while in front of the boob tube. I'm making hats and scarves to sell this fall. I do watch Castle...and last weeks episode better not be one of Castle's dreams!
ReplyDeleteWow! You guys rock! And Pat I think I'll try your system...maybe I can get a head start on Christmas gifts or sell some handmade items in the fall as well. Great idea...Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSorry it took so long to reply, y'all. I confess...I abandoned you at the edge of the woods at about 4pm Friday afternoon when I dove into the Girl Scout world of bugs and critters and boats and horses. It was fun but I'm glad to be back in civilization! <3
Oh! And for the record....I have NO idea what all those TV shows are...but then, you knew that already, right?
