Our wings are not tired.

I am so behind on awesome shows that one day I will mainline (thus adding to my gettable-allusions-repetoire!). I have done The Firefly and The Friday Night Lights and am on season 3 of The Bones. I bought The Justified season one but haven't opened it yet. Have not started on The Castle or The Supernatural or The Fringe or The Breaking Bad.

And now that I have rediscoverd my latent bookworm self, it's taking much, much longer to mainline The TV Shows. Because now I want to read instead...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ditch Bones now and save yourself some time. t /biased All the others are excellent choices, though. t /still biased

Kashi:

And now I am reminded, too, of how completely anti-social I am when in bookworm ville. Megan's sister was right, it does actually feel very self-indulgent. I mean, I am basically making no social plans because as much as I love my friends, I love getting under my electric blanket and reading "Little Bee" even more right now. I know it's wrong.

ita, funny you say that. It's mostly bedtime falling asleep comfort watching more than I am actively watching. I find it soothing, but not really gotta-keep-my-eyes-on-tv the way other shows are.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

We ditched Bones long ago. Also, House.

Yeah, I only watch House when I am with the boyfriend. He loves it.

The last time I watched House was when I was home sick. Not really a good combo.

Why is that wrong?
