Domestic Geek

My last post reminded me of something I wanted to mention. Since Donald Trump fired Carolyn and George is no longer on The Apprentice, either, I'm boycotting the next season. It's been getting more lame and boring anyway. Marcus and I recorded the past shows on our PVR and last season we just watched enough to see the task and who got booted. We always fast-forwarded through the drama crap. I thought George and Caroline added a little personality to the show.

So, no more Apprentice for me. That's probably good, though. I watch way too much television as it is.

All right, on to something more pleasant (well, the aftermath of a nuclear bomb is not pleasant...just clarifying).

I'm starting to notice that I watch CBS a lot—when did that happen? I also noticed that I do not watch a single show regularly on ABC. Only an occasional Supernanny when nothing else is on. Hm.

Anyway, the week before last I caught my first episode of Jericho. I hadn't heard a thing about it and didn't know what it was about. I guess the US was attacked by nuclear bombs and the show is about what happens afterward in a small town named Jericho. In the episode I saw, a brief news report they saw on a satellite feed from Japan showed that one of the bombs had hit Denver. Boy, did that send chills up my spine. I knew on Wednesday, I had planned on watching again, but for the life of me, I couldn't remember what I had wanted to see. While watching Without a Trace yesterday (I actually got the whole show on the later recording time), I caught a Jericho commercial and was instantly reminded. Whoops. Fortunately, Jericho is one of the shows that the CBS website shows in their entirety. I can't watch them on the Mac here because I refuse to install the Real Player plugin, but at some point I did install it on the laptop. I think it was to see something about Harry Potter. Anyway, I wish they would put all shows up that way. Of course, I watch too much television as it as. Maybe it's good that they don't.

I just read on Colleen's site that Medium will be back on television starting Wednesday, November 15 instead of Sundays after football season is over as previously scheduled. Yay!!!!

OK, in 45 minutes I'll be getting my Gilmore Girls fix. Woohoo! I suspect this will be the last season of that show. I wasn't real thrilled with last years' episodes. They turned Luke into kind of a jerk. I was none too happy about that.

I spent the afternoon with a former pizza coworker. I haven't seen her since the end of last year and even then it was only in passing. She teaches tap dance and needs some buttons made for her students. Yeah, Marcus and I have a button maker. If you need buttons for some occasion, let's talk! I feel kind of bad for her. She and her husband are in more house than they can afford, she's still struggling with the after effects of a hysterectomy that I didn't know she had and she can't get enough hours in at the pizza place to even cover her health insurance. Totally put my little unemployment problem into perspective. It also squelched that tiny, nagging voice in my head that keeps telling me to go back to pizza...it won't be that bad.

Why does iced tea seem to taste better from an actual glass than from a plastic cup?

OMG! The Office was so freaking hilarious tonight! I LOVED IT!! Almost worth making me wait all summer to see it.
