Sometimes my quirks cancel each other out. Like, quirk #1: I love Rosie O'donnell. LOVE her. I was ecstatic to hear that she was taking Star's spot on The View. Couldn't wait to see her on daytime TV again. Quirk #2: I no longer watch TV. Seriously, my TV stays on kids' programming all day. In the evening I'm too busy/distracted to watch TV.
These 2 things combined mean that, despite the fact that I have been looking forward to Rosie's return to TV, I have yet to remember to watch. So, I finally, thanks to Trish's suggestion, set my reminder to go off when The View comes on in the morning. How ridiculous is that? I'm such a nerd. But even more ridiculous is the fact that I'm beside myself with excitement about watching TV.
Rosie is hilarious and down to earth. I'm a Rosie nerd fan too.

I totally understand this. I am NOT a tv watcher- period. But recently, during a bout of insomnia I got hooked on two of the most ridiculous things in the world--Nip/Tuck and Degrassi. Sure, go ahead and laugh at me. A pretty strange combination. Run that past a shrink!
ReplyDeleteDegrassi happens to come on J's favorite kid's channel, once the kid's programming is done for the day, so that's how I stumbled upon it. I think I watch it because I wish I had found it when I was a teen. Nip/Tuck--well, I watch it because it pisses me off, I think. Not really sure. It's funny, though.
So yeah, I don't think your Rosie obsession is all that strange. Enjoy the hour or so of time for yourself.
My only question is did you get to watch rosie today? did Terra allow you to?
ReplyDeleteHeh, I got it turned on and stuff, but the video and audio weren't timed right so it was like watching Godzilla - the lips didn't match the words and it was driving me crazy. So the first commercial break I go out to smoke, and come back and Terra had turned her Blue's Clues movie on. I didn't argue, since it was driving me nuts anyway.
ReplyDeleteI do love Rosie though, seriously. Maybe tomorrow I'll actually get to watch :|
God, the words have to match the lips. If I couldn't read lips, I'd be lost. I can't stand it when the sound is out of sync.
