Catching up

So yeah, I missed a few days... my bad. To sum up what happened:

- Fantasy football team ate it last second, despite what appeared to be a miraculously horrible game by Eli Manning, Le'Ron McClain's unrecorded fumble became recorded and my win unrecorded into a recorded loss. :(

- Caught up on some Netflix and a bunch of DVR movies and shows, which was primarily due to not really doing anything else and also having gone grocery shopping so I can sit on the couch and eat all day like a perfect American! ...Also my Netflix reviewer rank finally went up again. Yesssssssss.

- Went to lunch at my coworker's house but was very hungover and couldn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to. Almost threw up and/or violently shit about a dozen times. Faaaaantastic.

So basically today marks the final debate between the old guy and the black guy, so that should be interesting. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing somebody break character... or at least, I hope they do.

I found this online today and it made me sad. This guy is a full fledged gaming (WoW) addict, to the point where he doesn't even seem to want friends in a game that is MADE so you can make them, play, talk and interact with them. He also spends over $5000 a year in just subscription fees, not to mention costs of expansions, possible upgrades to the computers and TIME WASTED. What the hell is happening to people these days that makes them isolate themselves to the point where they spend thousands of dollars to circumvent having to actually meet, make or interact with friends or just people who most assuredly share your interest because they PAY to be involved in the exact same thing? I don't get it.

Damn you TV, be less easily entertaining!

So the fall television line up has officially kicked off, and that, combined with the continuation of the football season has effectively rendered me completely incapable of keeping up with my DVR and Netflix. Try as I might, the 40 hours spent at work and 50 hours spent sleeping each week are enough to prevent any sort of dent. My DVR is slowly but surely winning the war, accumulating approximately one extra half-hour per day, while my Netflix lie on the floor making me wonder just what the hell I'm doing with my time if I don't have enough to watch the movies I specifically requested be sent to my house, practically placed at my feet with no excuse not to watch. Saturday was usually my day to catch up if I fell behind, but now with a girlfriend, it's much more difficult to justify spending between 6 - 12 hours in front of the tube on the weekend when we could be outside or at the fair or in bed. And that coupled with football make Sunday impossible (of course football actually extends its influence all the way into Monday), so I'm left catching what I can, filtering out the swag of my DVR schedule until I have a managable, meaty line-up that I can handle. I'm such a loser.
