What do you call it when you abandon your life to watch hours and hours of TV on DVD? (Don’t say LAME, I know you’ve done it, too) Has someone come up with a term for this? In days of yore, one could watch one reasonable hour of a series, then get another installment a week later. Now, its entirely possible to stay indoors all weekend with your ass glued to the couch, watching episode after episode like some sort of junkie.
SB and I did absolutely nothing this weekend but watch Entourage and eat take out.
Oh Ye-ah! Oh Ye-ah!
Even worse, what do you call it when you abandon your life to rearrange your Netflix Queue 12 times a day?
i’ve done it & i totally have weekend envy.
xo
Netflix = good. Takeout = good. Entourage = kick-ass show.
What’s the problem, exactly?
A NetFlix addiction can be bad but combine it with a TiVo addiction and nothing gets done. I think I need a 12-step program — or would it be 24-step? (24, hmmmm, I wonder what happens to JacK in session 4? i must go now….)
Sarah: Oh, dear. You’re so right. I am guilty of this as well.
Dahli: I’m so glad thst someone as fabulous and glamorous as you has also wasted a perfectly good weekend in such a manner.
Addled: Hi! Welcome! I love your response. Did your realize you were also quoting Lebowski? Walter: What’s the problem exactly? Dude: We didn’t…They didn’t get the… They’re going to kill that poor woman!”
heather: Hello! Thanks for commenting pretty pretty commenter. You are hilarious! We don’t have TiVo, or TV actually, and it is SUCH a good thing. Now with the internets we can see everything we watch online, and just Netflix the rest. It’s really fro SB we that we don’t have it. He would watch it all day and night.
Honey, this is the Blogger formerly known as LawStudentGuyPerson. Click my name for my new blog (but don’t expect anything fantastic). Haven’t I told you about this?
And no, I didn’t realize I was channeling Walter! Dude, they showed that on E! last week. It wasn’t quite the same without all the F%#*s.
HI!!!! Your link was missing a dot, but once I put it in, I found your blog with many posts! Geez! Of course I didn’t know about it! I would have left you a comment by now if I’d known. I’ll be back to read and comment soon, my sweet.
We did that one Christmas season with Seasons 1 & 2 of the Sopranos, with my parents.
I figure that one DVD a night is not an addiction. An addiction would be coming home on your lunch hour to watch another episode of Deadwood or Lost or (even worse) to make sure that your inkling was correct that the latest Robin Williams straight-to-video movie was as crappy as the last. One DVD a night (movie, TV series, whatever) makes you a connessiour.
Of course, that would make some daily drug users connessiours of their own diversion from reality, I guess.
Shawn: Your parents must be cool! I don’t think I would feel comfortable watching the Sopranos with my parents. Especially that rape scen in season two. :shiver
Erik: The first step is admitting you have a problem.
