I have, sadly, become addicted to the daytime lineup of SoapNet. Beverly Hills 90210, One Tree Hill, the O.C.–I can keep it on from 11 to 7 and not feel even the slightest urge to change the channel. The thing is, the only one of these shows I really like is the O.C. But the others provide mindless background noise. Yesterday Will took the afternoon off from work to finish some homework and he was kind of traumatized by my daytime lineup. I believe his exact quote was "one of these days I'll come home to find you in your pajamas and watching Days of Our Lives while you gorge yourself on chocolate ice cream!" Pajamas yes. Chocolate ice cream? Yum. Days? Hell to the No Way! Bleccch.
I am still loving Fios. So far I've only had one afternoon when there wasn't anything on that I felt like watching…and that wasn't because there wasn't any good programming. I just didn't feel like watching any of it. We discovered on Sunday night that we could record one thing with the DVR while we watched something else. There may or may not have been "I love Fios" dances done in our living room.
Is it sad that we are getting the majority of our political coverage from Jon Stewart? We tune into the Daily Show every night now to watch its coverage of the election. We know it isn't exactly a hard news source, but so far it is the only news-related show we can find that does not piss us off. I don't know what I am looking forward to more–tonight's debate or tomorrow night's Daily Show coverage of tonight's debate.
I'm pretty sure that everyone knows who I am voting for. I used to discuss politics regularly when I started blogging, but since meeting Will, I've laid off talking about political issues. This isn't because Will discourages it (though we don't really see eye to eye when it comes to politics and, for the most part, don't talk about them at home because doing so could lead to some heated exchanges). He has always told me to write whatever I want on my blog. I lay off the political rhetoric because of certain people to whom I will one day be related who are not known for accepting the views of others. It's kind of hard to censor myself, but if it keeps unnecessary drama from popping up, I'm happy to do it…for a while anyway.
I need to earn more money so that I can start leaving the house for a little bit each day. The weather is set in fall-ness and soon it will be gross and nasty out all the time, but even so, staying indoors all day every day is just not conducive to a blogging lifestyle. That's kind of pathetic: "I have to get a life for the betterment of my blog!"

Sometimes (mostly) I think that I have the most boring life ever compared to many bloggers I read, but hey. I write the drivel. Whatever
And I get out of my house for work and see 8 new people every day. So…chocolate icecream, pj’s and TV here we come! (I agree..bleh on days!)

The OC and 90210…mmm…LOVE that. I wish I could get off work every day early to go home and lay around and watch those shows. Thank you Soap Net for feeding into my addictions. LOL

Britt: Oh trust me–nothing is more uninteresting than staying at home all day working on things you shouldn’t blog about (behold blog rule #1: Don’t Blog About Work)
Smilf: I have enjoyed revisiting 90210 since I hadn’t watched it since I was in high school (eons ago) and I have to say that it is totally a guilty pleasure now, but more in a “oh my god I can’t believe I used to think this was awesome writing!” way. Eh, either way it’s good background noise!

I thought I might have to write a scathing comment–not like 90210? Is that even human?
=)
