TV Shows vs. College apps...

Soooo... as most people who know me know, I cannot watch TV at home. So what I do is: I go to the library/video rental, I rent all the seasons of the TV show that are available, and I watch them. Actually, I watch about half of them, and then I have to return them. My mom, on the other hand, watches them all in one sitting. That's right--about 16 hours of Monk and Psych in a row. Which is not only incredibly unhealthy and unproductive, but it makes me really jealous that she's sitting there surrounded by the bliss-inducing bliss that is Monk and Psych. The two best shows ever created. Ever. And, since it's a bit pricy to rent Monk enough to see all the episodes, and since there's only one season of Psych out, I'm being deprived of some of life's greatest pleasures.

And then there came the miracle that was yesterday.

I was working on my college apps. Really, I was. And then this pop up window came and it was this thing saying I could watch free episodes of Psych and Monk.

OK, I tell a lie, I was actually googling pictures from an episode of Monk WHILE AT THE SAME TIME doing my college apps. And one of the pictures came from this site that allowed you to see clips of episodes--as well as full episodes. Of Monk. And Psych. (and a bunch of other shows I really don't care about). So now I'm sitting here (on my blog) watching an episode of Psych that is really funny, really cool, and really time wasting. I'm SUPPOSED to be doing my college apps, but I consider Psych to be a lot more important. Really. Sort of. I mean, isn't it more important to have lasting childhood experiences?
I mean, at least it's lasting. Not really a childhood experience.

The pathetic part is the quality. The show takes about twice as long as it's supposed to because it pauses literally (actual literally, not just exaggerating literally) every five seconds FOR five seconds. So it's really hard to watch, and I'm wasting even more time. And it's hard to understand what they're saying when it keeps on breaking like that. AND I'm ont getting any work done. Which sucks just a little. The good news is that I'm supposed to be writing about a character from fiction that's influenced me. I can always do Lassiter if my big literary Don Quixote essay falls through.
(Actually I'm not doing a Don Quixote essay, I'm doing a Terry Pratchett character. But it's a big ole intellectual character, so that's all right).
(Not al that intellectual after all, but sort of).
(Um, I have to go. The episode's unfrozen--I mean, I have to finish my apps.)
(Um, bye.)
