TV & Reality

     I don't like television. It drives me nuts. BUT, there are some TV Series that I watch... but NOT on TV. haha. I know. Stupid. I watch True Blood, The Lying Game, Pretty Little Liars(PLL), Bones, Law & Order SVU, The Lost Girl, Once Upon a Time, Grimm, Hart of Dixie, Being Human, Drop Dead Diva (I've strayed off of it though because it's gotten stupid), and there are some new ones I am starting to like but haven't seen enough to know what's going on.
     I get bored, go on Netflix, and find a complete series to check out... watch all the seasons available if I like it, if I don't, I move on. True Blood, I buy the season when it comes out on DVD and then sell it to my friend Tricia. The rest, I watch on Hulu or wait til the season releases on Netflix.
     Recently, last weekend actually, I was house sitting for a friend who has HBO GO... I got caught up on True Blood, got bored, checked out Game of Thrones... now I'm HOOKED!! UGH! Another one!! BUT... I only got to episode 9 of the first season... so I have to spend a lot of time over there getting through 3 seasons so I can be caught up for when season 4 starts next month... oh boy. And I can't watch it while the kids are home or at least awake. SO... this is gonna be fun. I really like it though. It really helps me let go of reality. I think I found one I may possibly like more than all the others... SAAAWEEEET!
     I think I may read the Game of Thrones books... maybe. It's too late to read PLL books because The show has moved too far off the books and I like the show. So I will just stick with the show. I wonder how long it will be before it gets cheesy haha. Hart of Dixie is just adorable. Cuties all over the show, funny characters, adorable. Drop Dead Diva used to be fun and funny... but now I just find it lame, my personal opinion. The Lying Game is neat, cool concept n all. Law & Order SVU is just a given. lol.
     And then of course Once Upon a Time and Grimm and Being Human and The Lost Girl are all otherworldly things... I love that stuff. It just helps me escape reality. I really like what they've done with Once Upon a Time. They've taken all the Disney characters, fairy tales, all that, rolled them into one new age story... so cool. They've done a great job! Grimm is pretty much the same concept but the Grimm stories, which is equally as cool in my book. I wish the shows were less cheesy though. It's still cool. The Lost Girl is craziness, I love it, wish the show was longer than 30 minutes, but oh well, I'll take it. And Being Human, I like that one too, but it does get kinda boring for me at times.
     That's the point of all these shows, right? To help one to escape... escape to another reality. That's why I like reading. But once in a while I need to strain a little less so I'll watch a whole series instead of reading a book. I'm going to try desperately to not get bored enough to watch any new shows at all for any reason... that way I don't get sidetracked with anything new lol... we'll see how that works out.
     Currently... my background noise is the latest episode of PLL... I don't even need to really watch the actual episode, I listen, and if there is sudden gasping or whatever, I just hit the rewind lol. I really need to turn it off and get to work on something productive... but I'm tired today. Thinking to much.  Yesterday I got to spend the day with Donnie, my son. My boy... He is so funny... has all the good qualities of his dad... maybe that's part of the reason I can't seem to shake the love I have for Adam... maybe... I don't know... when I hear Adam laugh a real honest genuine laugh... it makes my heart melt... and I'm gonna just stop there because I don't need to think about my feelings for him. ANYWAY-- Donnie and I played some Mario Party, it was fun... different than our normal games lol. And we watched some Wipe Out, we always get a kick outa that show. Then we played some Rummy and he totally whooped my butt... he's so smart! He is in band camp this week, he is playing the trumpet like his Uncle Jakey. I'm proud of him. He is enjoying it. I'm so excited for him!!
     He's growing up so fast... I missed most of last year :(  I refuse to let that happen again. Adam and his home wrecker are supposedly moving out soon and hopefully we can get a regular schedule going for my visitation with Donnie. I need it on a regular schedule. I can't wait to be going to his band concerts!! YAY! Ugh, I can't wait to have myself on a regular schedule!! MAN! Getting up at the same time every day, get on my exercise bike regularly, eating meals on a regular schedule, going to sleep at the same time... ugh... can't wait. That is something I miss from living in Hustisford. I always had healthy food, healthy snacks, got on my bike every morning and every night, I lost like 20lbs in a month n a half... I need that schedule again. grr. I'll get there. I have faith!
