On Tap: An Ambitious Viewing Agenda
And I'm back.
While visiting family this weekend, a few common questions arose over cocktails: which shows do I watch, and how many hours a night do I spend watching movies/TV and then blogging?
Well, here is a glimpse at my viewing agenda this week...
TV/TiVO
- NCAA Women's Basketball Final (I'm a Bay Area & Pac10 girl; go Stanford!)
- 30 Rock (returns on Thursday)
- Canterbury's Law (Damages lite)
- Dirt (total guilty pleasure)
- John Adams (HBO miniseries)
- Medium (Anjelica Houston has been a great addition)
- The Office (returns on Thursday)
- The Riches (not loving new season yet)
- Samantha Who? (returns tonight)
- Scrubs (returns on Thursday)
- Survivor (finally admitting that I watch it online)
- Top Chef
- Pirates of the Caribbean 3
- X-Files, Season 9, Disc 1
- Jericho, Season 1
As for the amount of time I spend on this hobby...I estimate that I watch three hours per weeknight; either a movie on DVD or television on TiVo/online/iTunes/DVD. On the weekends I tend to watch an additional movie or two, and several episodes of shows I've missed.
As for my blogs, I alternate posting entries on both blogs every other night for about an hour each. I am also online for an average of 3-4 hours every night after work, reading news and other blogs, and preparing my own.
And so I'm off to post a Lost blog, and then catch up on last week's Men in Trees. The weekly viewing commences now.
So what you're saying is that I'm the only person who doesn't give a sheezy about basketball?

Not at all. For what it's worth...I only tune in to basketball to support local teams when they get to the championship (Warriors, Cal, Stanford, etc.).
The only sport I follow with any regularity is baseball.

Time Out!! That's right, I said, TIME OUT! You are ACTUALLY saying that you are rooting for the Cardinal...without fear of being made to sleep in the Guest Bedroom until the next time those Bears win a 'Big Game?' Shirley, you jest. (And yes, I just called you Shirley -- may Lloyd Bridges live on indefinitely).
Say it ain't so! Then again, as someone who has more faith in the legends of Shaw, Albert, Brodie, Walsh, Elway, et al than those of Kapp and friends -- feel welcome to the land of trees and idiotic bands. And for the old-timers, may I add -- Go Indians!

1) I was a NCAAW fan before I met my better half, and have supported Stanford's program since I moved to the Bay Area in 1995.
2) Cal's teams are always my #1, but when they don't reach the championship, I am 'allowed' to root for the rival and support the Pac10. However, we do NOT wear Cardinal red. Ever.
