What did I do when I was sick before we had a tivo? I remember the dark days of daytime tv without the benefit of even basic cable. I would watch utterly crappy tv, broken up by commercials for personal injury lawyers and truck driving and trade schools. Where were the ads and shows for grade schoolers stuck at home from families that didn’t believe in having cable?
I mostly slept today, but when I wasn’t sleeping I was curled up on the couch with the cats and catching up on the stored shows on our tivo. Tabitha is sophisticated and enjoyed all of the episode of the Daily Show. Sophie, on the other hand, is younger and drawn to crime dramas so she was drawn to Numb3rs, a show that I only ever watch on tivo (it’s funny how they put a show about math on Friday nights. It’s like Battlestar Galactica… they just go ahead and assume that their viewing audience has no life and thus spends Friday night watching their tv show).
When you start pretending that your cats actually give a crap about what you watch on tv, perhaps it’s time to get some sleep and let your body fight off the rest of the germs.
Smokey has impeccable taste in television – he will sit curled up with me through all my favorites, whereas Iggy can’t control himself when America’s Next Top Model or Project Runway comes on (I think the theme music riles him up too much).
My parents’ dogs don’t watch TV, so much as watch you watch TV. For this reason, they loooove Jeopardy! – they think we’re talking to them.
Feel better sweetie! Maybe try to catch your last few glimpses of Bob Barker. And remember the Netflix!!!
