On my DVR, a list so you can easily judge me

Saved on my DVR right this very moment are:

Grace of My Heart
Little House on the Prairie (it’s the very last episode that as far as I can remember I only saw once)
Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School
Scrubs (the musical episode)
Sky High
The Iron Giant
The Phantom Tollbooth
An Affair to Remember

Yeah, I watched all the embarrassing stuff yesterday.

I never liked M*A*S*H and I hate it now

When I was a kid, I’d often do battle with my cousin Patty over the TV. Patty would babysit during the summer while my parents were at work, and she would always watch M*A*S*H or Phil Donahue when the obvious choice for those time slots was The Flintstones. Back in the day you couldn’t change [...]

The last days of unemploymenthood

It seems only fitting that I spend my last few days of unemploymenthood watching the worst that TV has to offer while sporting pajamas. Of course, I’d have probably done that anyway but being sick gives me the excuse to do it guilt-free.
So far I’ve made it through an episode of The Real Housewives [...]

The little green one

One of my favorite parts of Tibble-infested Wednesdays comes right after nap time. Liam always wakes up before Nolan. Without fail he grabs his deetee (his blanket), climbs into my lap, and asks if we can watch Yo Gabba Gabba.
While I scroll through my DVR, I sing “Gabba gabba we accept you, we [...]

Two mistakes on a Sunday, one of which is the faults of Republicans

My first mistake was sitting down this afternoon with volumes one through four of Y the Last Man. I did not move until my stomach started to rumble at six o’clock. I tore through three of the four books. This wouldn’t be such a bad thing if I hadn’t spent half of Friday and half [...]

Cleaning about architecture

Yesterday, while putting the great room of Supergenius HQ back together I spent a lot of time learning about architecture on the TV. PBS was running this Ken Burns’ special on Frank Lloyd Wright and then aired an American Masters about Frank Gehry (dude who did the Weisman). Apparently to be a great architect one [...]

It’s Niles dumbasses

The hosebeasts on the Today Show keep referring to David Hyde Pierce’s character on “Frasier” as Miles. They did it about three times. Don’t they have researchers for this?

Spiritual connection

Sometimes when I watch Rock of Love I get so giddy and joyful that I squirm in my chair and cackle. I realize that I should feel guilty for taking so much pleasure from something so patently offensive and awful and yet I don’t.

Not sure what to be the most embarrassed about

1. That I turned off CNN’s post-debate debrief in favor of
2. An old episode of Who’s the Boss (I’m actually working on my online portfolio, so I’m doing something productive and just needed background noise) where I immediately
3. Recognized Sam’s date for the dance as Ralphie from A Christmas Story, and at the dance
4. They [...]

Cleaning out the DeeVeR

I don’t have TiVO, I have the generic video recording device shilled by Comcast. I call it the DeeVeR. However, I when I have sheduled a recording, I call it ‘tivoing.’ Just so we all got our terminology straight.
This morning/afternoon, I’ve been playing catching up with Internet and doing some housekeeping around Paul Westerberg.net [...]

Poor Nellie

Because I have a short story due tomorrow and a New Pornographers’ concert tonight I decided that I couldn’t do much of anything until after “Little House on the Prairie” was over. This girl’s got priorities.
It just so happens that this is the episode where Laura falls in love with Alamanzo Wilder and Nellie falls [...]

things i would have been better off not knowing about

MTV has a reality-show called Life of Ryan about an adorable 16-year-old professional skateboarder. Yeah.

After you read this you will probably think less of me, but I don’t care because a love like this cannot be denied

First of all let me tell you that this whole sordid affair began in one of my weaker moments. I was exhausted and all my mental faculties had been pushed to their breaking point after having spent the night babysitting all five of the kidlings.
It was really quite late on a Saturday night, or perhaps [...]

Impossible nerdery

It’s 11:47 on a Saturday night. I am a single 35-year-old woman, watching a Paul Simon special on PBS, and I just paused it to go to the bathroom because I didn’t want to miss any of it. This is probably why I am a single 35-year-old woman watching PBS on a Saturday night.
