So the week is drawing to a close, and once again all my good intentions from Monday went up like smoke in the wind by Saturday. This time it wasn\u2019t entirely my fault, though. I spent Tuesday through Thursday at my parent\u2019s house, where my dad\u2019s Mac declared war against me and refused to let me sign in to my blogger account, so I couldn\u2019t put up any more re-runs. I\u2019ll do one more tomorrow, just for good measure, but it seems my week of re-runs was a massive failure. Sorry about that.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m hoping to be back in full force the week after next. I\u2019ll definitely post next week, but it will probably be spotty at best. Wanna know why?<\/p>\n

#7<\/div>\n
Next Week Begins<\/div>\n
\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

Our great homeschooling adventure.<\/p>\n

I have only two things to say about this: GULP and PLEASE PRAY FOR ME.<\/p>\n

#6
I Think It\u2019s Fair to Say<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

that being solely responsible for my child\u2019s relative intelligence, or at least the knowledge she is able to retain and produce at will, fills be with abject terror.<\/p>\n

Also, it seems like a whole lot of work.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the real reason why I don\u2019t want to do it.<\/p>\n

#5
Honesty, My Friends<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

is only the best policy if my husband doesn\u2019t read these quick takes.<\/p>\n

Oh, and if you are reading them, my darling, well\u2026I\u2019m going to confession tomorrow and sloth is first on the menu.<\/p>\n

But come on, babe, you knew who you married. Remember that time I watched all three seasons of Veronica Mars <\/i>in a week and a half, pausing only to go to the store and get more Zebra Cakes?<\/p>\n

(And Andrea, if you\u2019re reading this\u2026best. week-and-a-half. ever.)<\/p>\n

That was a terrible week. I\u2019m very ashamed.<\/p>\n

#4
I Love TV<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

I know I\u2019ve mentioned this before, but seriously, it cannot be normal<\/i> to feel this way about a box that flickers.<\/p>\n

But I do. I really, really do.<\/p>\n

Here are a list of all the television shows I have watched from Pilot to Finale in the last six years (plus some others):<\/p>\n

Roswell
Veronica Mars
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Chuck (still going)
Battlestar Galactica
Doctor Who (still going)
Supernatural (still going\u2026unfortunately)
Fringe (still going\u2026fortunately)
Sherlock (still going)
How I Met Your Mother (still going)
Dexter (um, in process)
Scrubs (in process)
Pushing Daisies (so tragically cancelled)
Dead Like Me (should have been cancelled after the pilot episode)
Bones (still going)
Heroes
House (still going)
The Riches (most tragically cancelled)<\/p>\n

#2
I Think That\u2019s It<\/p>\n

#1
Seeing That List in Print Was Good For Me<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

because I\u2019m actually a little ashamed.<\/p>\n

Not nearly as ashamed as I rationally know that I should be, though, which, perversely, makes me \u00a0even more ashamed.<\/p>\n

And now, if anyone needs me, I\u2019m going to go eat some chocolate and watch Scrubs.<\/p>\n

It\u2019ll make me feel better.<\/p>\n

Happy weekend, guys! Go see Jen<\/a> for more quick takes. Oh yeah, and if you missed it, I had a new post up at Virtuous Pla.net<\/a> this week. Check it out<\/a>!<\/p>\n

(PS: I just want \u00a0you to know that television is actually NOT the reason I\u2019ve been so bad about blogging lately. Actually, I\u2019m watching less television now than I have in the past six years. I\u2019m just busy with other stuff, which you shall know about in good time, my young Jedis.)<\/p>\n

(PSS\/PPS: If you are one of my equally embarrassing friends who have watched hours upon hours of TV with me and you remember a show we watched that I forgot, put it in the combox, will you? I know I\u2019m leaving some out and it\u2019s bugging me.)<\/p>\n

(PPSS: I seriously \u00a0never know whether we\u2019re supposed to say \u201cPPS\u201d or \u201cPSS\u201d. Can someone clarify?)<\/p><\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
