we got all night

So I'm slowly getting back into TV. And then after that, maybe I'll get into movies again, or video games. I miss stories. (Getting back into) Reading is a slow process, but it's at a pace I'm accepting for now. Podcasts are another story.

I'm just going to ramble about some shows now, the things I'm watching and such. I have to catch up on Burn Notice this weekend and next up are Happy Endings and Man Up because it's faster to binge 30 minute shows!

I gave up on Suburgatory. I like it, but when I was collecting links to download on Friday I went, "It's not THAT important," and clicked out of the post. I'm having more fun with the other shows.

( American Horror Story )

( HIMYM and Chuck in general )

( Leverage )

( Misfits )

( Hell on Wheels )

( Grimm )

( Bored to Death )

( How to Make it in America )

I haven't watched the newest Hung yet, but that show keeps getting better, too. HBO, YOU'RE ON POINT. At least, with my shows. I hear Boardwalk Empire is getting even more bland than it used to be.

In other news, I know I tend to get into cycles where I'm like, "I WISH I KNEW A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT. I'M GONNA LEARN AN INSTRUMENT. INSTRUMENTS ARE EXPENSIVE. I HAVE A KEYBOARD. FUCK IT, MY FINGERS DON'T WORK THAT WAY. MUSIC IS HARD." But guys, OCARINAS. With my new phone I was able to download an Ocarina app. But it doesn't work properly (you can't play a D note, says one comment on the Marketplace... I just know I can't get a higher note than C) so I decided to price real ones. I won't buy a ceramic one because lololol I am a clumsy person who will break that shit eventually. And also, wouldn't it get nasty, being a wind instrument? I remember the recorder from freshman year of high school getting disgusting with my spit. I don't even know if I'm going to buy that particular brand--apparently there are lots of ocarina makers? Anyway, I figure plastic ones are decent enough. And it's geeky enough that I'd stick with it just for the geek factor, if not the musical accomplishment. WE SHALL SEE.

...Except SGU because I keep forgetting about that, and now I'm three weeks behind. WHOOPS.

( Bored to Death )

( Brothers & Sisters )

( Supernatural )

I don't know what to do with Brothers & Sisters anymore. I guess I'm glad Ryan isn't around that much anymore. Also, Scotty = <33333333

( How I Met Your Mother )

Accidentally on Purpose made me laugh a few more times this week! WHAT IS THIS MAGIC.

( The Big Bang Theory )

( Dancing with the Stars )

I miss Chuck on Mondays. I didn't think I would but the last two Mondays seemed so short when I only had CBS comedies to watch after Dancing with the Stars. :/

By way of hegemony

An Open Letter to Eric Kripke

I couldn't have said it better myself, really. I'm usually one to completely miss these things on my tv shows but for some reason Supernatural makes it super-obvious and it really is my only gripe about the show (I mean, it's on CW but that's not really an excuse).

In other news, I will be listening to this for the rest of the day.

Last night I was alerted to the fact that Bored to Death was filming today/yesterday in Brighton Beach, so after much debating this morning I decided to go see if I could catch a glimpse of anything. I didn't, although a pair of pigeons got freaky under the boardwalk in front of me. I guess the whole sex on the beach thing isn't just for humans.

I got some ideas for summer jobs after over-hearing some extras who sat next to me on the beach, so the day wasn't a complete loss. And thanks to Cesar Millan's "Official Twitter" I'm researching drummers who have French bulldogs with social problems, because what are the odds of that combination?
