Progress

Day two of 2004, and thus far, I feel pretty damned productive. Today, I have only spent the last TWO hours on the couch, and have only watched 2 episodes of Felicity that are being Tivo’d at least once a day, though I’m pretty damned sure I could watch some more if I had them. I’ve also only watched 1 1/2 episodes of “A Dating Story” and one episode of “A Wedding Story”, currently in progress. I’ve changed the sheets on my bed, (flannel monogrammed, no less), put some laundry in the washer, considered painting the upstairs hallway until I realized I didn’t yet have enough paint that wasn’t lime green, contemplated going to the Dr. b/c my throat still hurt and I coughed my (proverbial) balls off last night, and wondered just what the hell my very scary dreams meant, including the one where I lost all of my luggage and Christmas presents in a cab as well as being stabbed in my (pregnant?) belly by a very very scary bad man. Then I wondered why I dreamed that I had a pregnant belly, as unless my subconscious believes I’m having the next immaculate conception, it’s not very likely. I’ve gone through Tivo’s entire list of possible movies to record, and resisted the urge to Tivo any more “Celebrity Poker” as to avoid a forthcoming obsession. I’ve had more Halls cough drops than are recommended as a daily allowance. I’ve had my boobs squooshed by 21 lbs. of Sullivan cat-love, a veggie corn dog for lunch, and even changed the litter box. I’ve wished it was sunnier, wished it was laying-out weather, thought about making some Jello shots to celebrate the fact it’s Friday, and still haven’t yet showered.

2004, I think I’ll keep ya.

    Ah, Felicity. Started as such a good show with such a simple concept. Innocent schoolgirl follows boy to big city to take chances and see what happens. Then came the changes. The first time where a haircut has ruined an entire series, sending it towards its inevitable downfall. By the end, she was only rarely making her ‘Dear Sally’ tapes anymore, and somehow managed to create an actual rift in the space-time continuum. Go figure. Strangely enough though, the show’s best highlights came down to the wearing of a red dress, an unhealthy obsession with Ben, and Jennifer Garner appearing for a few episodes as the Nole’s piano playing, glasses wearing, pouty-lipped ex-girfriend for whom he rejected for a younger, whiny, curly-haired virgin that didn’t really like him that much anyway. You may want to check out Underworld when it comes out on DVD in January.

    Isn’t Tivo just the best damn invention ever? I don’t have cable because I know I would keep my behind on the couch all day if I did. I still watch WAAAAAYYYYYY too much TV, and Tivo makes it possible to watch seven episodes of West Wing or the Gilmore Girls at one sitting. It’s just the most awesome invention ever!!!
