Last night the AC wasn't working so I decided to open the windows and the doors so that the breeze from the storm could cool off the house. I loved laying there in the dark, listening to the rain. I decided I would just sleep on the couch, since it felt a lot nicer in the livingroom than in my bedroom. The longer I laid there the more inspired I felt but I couldn't bring myself to actually write anything. I felt like the slightest disturbance would ruin the simplicity of the moment. So I just closed my eyes, and wrote line after line in my own head.
Once the rain stopped I realized I was much too wired to sleep, and far too drained to write, so I decided to catch up on one of my favorite shows- Weeds. I was introduced to the show two years ago when I was pregnant with Evelyn. Rick and I had just moved into my moms place in Denver and hooked up his XBox to the internet so we could stream Netflix in the bedroom. I was on and off bed-rest most of the time since I was in my third trimester, so I would lounge in the bed and go through season after season of TV shows. I think in those three months I went through Charmed, Buffy, Angel, Firefly twice, along with a number of ones I can't even remember. One night, Rick and I decided to start season 1 of weeds and we were both instantly hooked. From then on out it was sleepless nights where we would promise to ourselves at 3 a.m. we would watch just one more, and then turn off the TV and go to sleep. We weren't good at promises then either.
His schedule eventually picked up, leaving me to finish the fifth season alone which upset him far more than I expected it to. I was able to stream season 6 after it had aired on Showtime, and BOY! was there some fireworks. The ending was epic. One of the best of all the seasons by far in my opinion. And it opened up so much to be addressed in Season 7. I've been eagerly waiting for season 7 to air, so that it too would be streamed via netflix when I received a free 6 month trial of Showtime from Charter, my cable provided.
REALLY?!?!?! You mean it! I can watch Weeds, and United States of Tara, and Dexter!!!!! For six months. :-D
So I decided to catch up with season 7. So far there are only 7 episodes, and I'm not as enthralled with this season as I have been with other seasons. But it seems to be getting better. It was just a slow start. I need to finish United States of Tara season 3, and completely catch up on Dexter since I've only watched season 1 and it just finished airing season 5. I want to be caught up before the new season starts.
But. I will say I am the most excited for the release of season 3 of Sons of Anarchy the end of this month, and the premier of season 4 early next month. I am in some major need of that show. It is by far my favorite. It's just amazing.
But, there you have it. My lazy, sloven, tv obsessions. There is no shame in my game.
