Saffron ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
At least the first season of Joan is out on DVD.
I don't get defensive when people get snooty and superior about not watching TV. I quickly go on the offensive and ask why they want to brag about being a media illiterate. "You might love books now, but you would've slagged Gutenberg to his face."
Then again I wrote a book about Bubblegum music and have mingled with music snobs so I'm quick to defend the populist aesthetic.
I watch too much tv, I'll just sit there and watch crap I don't even really like because it's on.
TiVo helps with this. ijs. Something you wanted to watch is usually waiting for you.

Hee.
I get upset sometimes because my dream was to write for television so I feel like somebody says my friend is ugly.
TiVo helps with this. ijs. Something you wanted to watch is usually waiting for you.Because I don't like a lot, my TiVo is actually quite useful, in this regard. I can program stuff ahead of time, and forget about it, as long as Chris isn't getting too far into the menu. He has deleted stuff on occasion. I also save stuff and rewatch what I like. I was going to save all of JoA S2, but I didn't. I have a handful of episodes.

I'm really mad Jennifer Love Hewitt has a new vehicle, "The Ghost Whisperer" on the same network. I'm so mad I want to spit.
I have a friend who'll say to smug no-TV people "Gee, that's a big chunk of the culture to be completely ignorant of."
I love her.
I want Tivo. But right now to actually make it worth owning one I'd need to have a cable package that was more than the $10 cable package I'm getting will buy.
I'm going to give up reading. Have you seen the crap out there? Pulp romance, schlocky sci fi, endless fantasy sagas - oh! and the violence! It's disgusting.
Pulp romance, schlocky sci fi, endless fantasy sagas - oh! and the violence!
and that's just in The Bible. Those other books are even worse!
There's tons of stuff I'd be Tivoing right now -- Stargate SG1 And A, REscue Me, Mystery! (Which I always forget is on), BSG, Lost, Gilmore Girls, House, American Idol, a bunch of stuff on TCM and Discovery, but I don't have tivo.
If I wanted it bad enough I'm sure that I could find a way to get Tivo and a cable package that I think would make it worth my while.
On the other hand I have 425 dvds on my Netflix queue, most of which are tv shows, so I don't think I'll really be watching fewer tv programs, just not idly sitting there the home shopping network.
