I left out two shows from my list yesterday. What kind of avid (slightly obsessive) TV Watcher am I? I’m also watching Las Vegas and Scrubs
Not to mention the condiments of television… Trading Spaces, The Daily Show, and my new added favorite The Ellen Degeneres Show.
My major accomplishment of the day yesterday was watching eight hours of television, with only breaks for snacks, meals and the bathroom.
Now that I’m far enough into it, and have made my decisions… here’s a look at Sabrina’s fall TV line-up.
Sunday: Jack & Bobby (WB) I wasnt sure about this show.. the premise, though original, didnt seem like something that could go any further than the pilot. Two brothers in 2004, one will be the president way far in the future. But they’ve managed to pull it off thus far… giving a little piece of Bobby as the president and how that came to be based on his childhood. I’m lovin it.
Desperate Housewives (ABC) I’ve only seen the first two episodes… but it’s got this Ally McBeal wild and weird quality to it. I’m very much attached to the characters and hope I dont ever become one of them (though I do hold a lot of the same qualities as Bree).
Monday: Everwood (WB) I do love this show. It ended wonderfully last season and definitely picked up just as entertaining.
Tuesday: Gilmore Girls (WB) Finally Luke and Lorelai are together. As long as it stays that way, I should survive. I’m not sure how I feel about Rory and Dean… they sure did make that a tricky one… he’s married but they love each other, oy! The show has mantained its wonderful sarcasm and witty pop culture. If you havent watched it… you should definitely start. Even if its about girls…
One Tree Hill (WB) If I had to drop another show… it might be this one. Except for the attractive people… there isnt much keeping this going.
Wednesday: Lost (ABC) Great! If you arent watching, you’re just plain dumb.
Thursday: Joey (NBC) I feel obligated to watch this show. Its actually the only half-hour comedy on my list. It does make me laugh… but so far, not as much as Friends did.
ER (NBC) I couldnt stop watching this show, even if I wanted to.
Friday: Joan of Arcadia (CBS) The first season made this show excellent… I’m not sure about the second season… kinda feels like they’re trying too hard. Or maybe it’s just Joan’s hair.
Add The OC to the mix on November 4 and that will give me nine and a half hours of television each week. Insane, I know.
You ever start eating something… and its really really good… and then a few bites into it, it just isnt good anymore?
I just had that experience with carmel corn.
First Bite: “mmmm carmel corn. loooove the carmel corn. mmmm.”
Sixteenth Bite: “Bleh yuck! Why am I still eating this??”
Seventeeth Bite: “Yeah… still gross.”
Last night, (isnt that how I started the last entry?) Rachel came over for a Girls Night In (and Steve went over to hang with Curtis). We dyed my hair. See. Look over there. In honor of fall and all things autumny, I decided to be a brunette. What do you think? I’m happy with it… though it’s all one shade, and I was very used to highlights. Still, it definitely put in me the mood to wear sweaters and boots. Yay for fall! Now, if only it would not be so hot and humid outside…
Besides the hair dyeing, we painted our toes, ate cookie dough, read magazines and watched a chick flick.
I’m hoping to make our Girls Night In a regular thing. Every girl needs one.
Last night… I was making tuna (which is what you make for dinner when you didn’t go food shopping all weekend and there is nothing else to eat). But, since I didn’t go food shopping, after opening the can, I realized I didn’t have any mayonnaise. And, since Miss Picky Sabrina only eats tuna one-way… I was stuck. Until, it occurred to me that I have neighbors! Neighbors that I know by name, that speak my same language, that even go to my church! Neighbors that I can bother for the proverbial cup of sugar!
I asked Steve to go next door and ask to borrow some mayo (since I was already in my pajamas… and, well, we aren’t that close of neighbors yet)… He argued with me for a bit
“What if they don’t have any?”
“Who doesn’t have mayonnaise? It’s a staple.”
“We don’t have mayonnaise.”
“We haaave mayonnaise, we just don’t have any right now.”
“What if they don’t have any right now?”
(Mumble mumble mumble, you’ve got to be kidding me).
Finally I agreed to call and ask first… Kimberly answered and I giggled and said “This is sort of a strange question, but could I borrow some mayonnaise?”
“Oh! of course!!”
“Great, I’ll send Steve down to get it.”
Yay for neighbors!
