The magic box stores TV!
Bad times to find out about a bleeding nose:
1. When sneezing.
It's a funny thing, I find myself no longer watching TV. I'll very often record stuff I want to watch and then not watch it later. Sometimes, this is because some rather ignorant and inconsiderate people decide to simply delete my stuff without asking. Equally often, it's simple lack of time combined with laziness. I'm not quite sure how I managed to be too lazy to watch TV, but I suspect that it makes me one step away from transcending to another plane of existence, in which I shall dwell as a being of pure laziness.
I used to avidly follow various shows. I used to watch Star Trek Voyager and then Enterprise, I've been a fan of all things Stargate for years, Battlestar Galactica also held my attention for a while. I was a follower of House since it started in the UK and I still greatly like the show. I just don't watch it now. I'm still relatively up to date on the episodes, but since I introduced it to Sam, he's been watching US episodes online and threatening me with spoilers. The Star Trek franchise is off the air for now, but I'm not sure if it could hold my interest. I had the season finales of SG-1 and Atlantis (series finale, in SG-1's case) sitting on the Sky box's hard drive for weeks until some imbecile deleted them. Battlestar Galactica built up for a while then fell completely off my radar.
I'm not sure whether this says something about me or the state of television in general. I never channel surf now, because it's simply not worth the effort. If something I really want to watch is on, I can record it if the time is inconvenient or just watch it. But so much of what's on TV is rubbish, it's just not worth trying to find something new without prior knowledge.
What was the purpose of this post?, I hear you ask. I don't really know but it's done something rather useful. I am now an awful lot more resolved to watch what I have recorded and track down that which has fallen to button-happy deletionists.
This blog started, after all, as somewhere to toss out my ideas and get them straight. It's been rather helpful in that regard tonight. Even if the paragraphs have been winding and the whole thing rather dull to read. On the bright side, I may be able to get my NWT post up tonight. I'll fall down a rung on the ladder of laziness evolution, but that's a stupid metaphor for the ongoing, divergent evolutionary process anyway, so I don't really care.
Edit: Looks like I won't get it up tonight. So much for creationism. And no, I'm not going to explain how that logic works, not until they explain how their's does.
