Too much TV

Oct 10, 2007 22:45

Would someone please give me a kick in the rear? I'm turning into a pathetic couch potato. Work is somewhat frazzling (hermintage, be warned), and when I get home (if there isn't a rehearsal or radio show in between), all I want to do is veg out in front of the boob tube. Dishes are piling up. Mail is piling up. I'll catch up on the weekend. But this is not ( Read more... )

*kick* :-)

Is it crap TV/whatever's on that's drawn your fancy; or is it simply the amount of time spent, regardless of content?

The internet is just too damn much work to find entertainment these days, amidst all the crap spammed at the search engines. Tivo makes my TV my partner in crime.

D, here's your daily funny: http://xkcd.com/314/. There's somebody out there. And we still need to have lunch or dinner or something so you can meet Sonja. Dinner sometime later in the week? Still have my numbers?

Oh yeah, and KICK in the rear. Today the weather is gorgeous, and you live way too close to Marymoor not to go for a walk. (Assuming you're still in the same place.) We may head down there tomorrow if the weather holds. Interested?

Hm, sounds lovely... but I'm going to be a good public forum supporter and answer phones at the KBCS pledge drive most of the afternoon. And (cough) try to complete a work project in the remainder of the day. I'll find a nice sunny coffee shop as a compromise... pathetic, I know... :-)
