Thoughts upon watching too much tv on a Friday Night

Is there really any doubt that a company called Massive Dynamic is going to be evil and soulless and perform horrible experiments that pervert the human form and fly in the face of nature? 

Is there anyone in this doctor's office who hasn't slept with any available partner of the opposite sex? And given the fact that one member of the staff has died after a car accident shortly after losing his wife in a meth lab explosion, one was attacked and had her baby slashed out of her and one was beaten up in her office, why in hell do people keep applying to work there? And how do they have time to treat any damned patients in between humping each other in closets, sewing each other up and helping each other through their various traumas? 

This was freakin' hilarious. No complaints there. 

I want to shoot the mini-pop kids. 

You know when you're watching a show about doctors and then you fast-forward through the commercials and then there's a commercial that's about doctors and it makes you think the show is back on so you press play and then it's a commercial? I hate that.

Sometimes when I'm watching a show and someone takes a video of someone and then plays it, I think "wow, she looks so much better than I do in video", and then I realize well, yeah, the whole thing is a video so I already knew that.

I should have just read a book.

I haven't seen Grey's Anatomy in years, I watched it that first season before I had my first kid and it sounds like it hasn't changed a bit. A friend of mine is in Big Bang and I'm ashamed that I haven't ever seen it. Wonder if I can find the episodes online, sounds like something I might actually enjoy...

What I really enjoy about watching a TV is taking the time to choose a program, getting comfy on the couch, turning the TV on, and promptly falling asleep. That was my Friday night. And now I will never know if Vanessa Williams ever found out who she was.

Oh, the mini pops. They are vile. VILE. You can almost see the stage mothers dressing them up in those hideous outfits and hissing at them from the sidelines. Worse than the regular mini-pops? The mini-pops Christmas. Just the sound of that commercial makes the lambs scream. My kids usually run to change the channel the second they hear the opening notes.

I can't hang with the Private Practice, but I love (love love) Fringe. Although, I did have to admit to hubs that it's our new Lost (which means I think they're just making it up as they go along).

I've never seen those Mini Pop Kids. Creepy!

Oh my gosh, those mini pops kids. The commercials drive me nuts, but my girls love them. I have yet to crack and purchase an album, though. So there's that.

I love Big Band Theory. Those are my people, I always tell my husband.

When I was very young I would watch SCTV and have no clue when the commercials were fakes and when they were real. Even today I'm often wondering if an ad is really.

Did you see the Bollywood number at the end of the last Big Bang Theory? Also freakin' hilarious. Love that show.

Do people really have that much sex in real life? Makes me wonder everytime I walk into a hospital if the docs and nurses are sizing up their options instead of trying to help people!

I haven't watched any of the shows you mentioned. At least I've heard of them. My husband and I don't agree on TV shows so we tend to watch a lot of Antiques Road Show - it's the only thing we agree on.

 To my American friends, I'm sorry. Not in any kind of distanced, pitying, smug way, because I believe we are headed in a similar direction here in Canada, and I am sad and sick at heart. I told myself I wasn't hoping for the other outcome because I was afraid to, but I realize that I absolutely was, because I was not prepared for how bad this would feel.  Some random thoughts I am having about the whole thing. 1. I'm going to try not to hate anyone. For a while at least. I am totally cool with anyone else hating people that helped this happen. A lot of them did it out of hate. Some did it out of ignorance. Some are struggling and desperate and thought this was a solution. I know that's not an excuse, but it makes me think of when I read The Drowned and the Saved by Primo Levi. He said that he didn't feel like he could judge people who betrayed their fellow Jews for favours from their captors, because he was never given the opportunity and if he had he couldn't ...

Books Read in 2021: Four-Star YA Horror

I am pretty well ensconced in the January doldrums. We are in a deep freeze, and after the major snow dump on Monday I never catch it snowing, and yet there are a few centimetres on the driveway by every evening. I'm happy with my decision not to take any office shifts for a few weeks - it's incredibly stressful, will only be more so now that people are pissed that we're not supposed to be reporting Covid cases, and I don't even get paid my regular library rate. But it does sort of make the days run together. I try to walk Lucy, but it's so cold she starts dancing around lifting up one paw after the other for me to warm with my mittens. We've tried paw covers but haven't found any that fit. So I walk her around the block and then bring her home and keep walking. It's been cold but not very windy, so walking is quite pleasant (I'm finally not too warm!)  I am rewatching The Golden Girls, which I don't think I ever watched all the way through befor...

I'm Sick

 Seriously you guys, I am SO SICK, and I have been stupidly engaging in presenteeism even though I am STRONGLY DISAPPROVING when other people do it. It's not because I think I owe anything to the school board (oh my goodness I do not). It's not because I have delusions of grandeur about how important my job is - wait, maybe I do, because at some of my schools my classes have already missed two weeks of library because of EQAO (which necessitated students writing exams in the library), and it's almost the end of the year, which means most of the librarians are closing the library to circulation soon if not now, and I really didn't want to make them miss one of the last library periods.  Also, and I am putting myself out there so try to be kind, I have realized that there is a dumb little part of people-pleasing oldest-child self that always suspects that if I call in sick people think I'm faking, so it's a tiny bit gratifying to go in and have people say oh my GO...
