we got all night

So I'm slowly getting back into TV. And then after that, maybe I'll get into movies again, or video games. I miss stories. (Getting back into) Reading is a slow process, but it's at a pace I'm accepting for now. Podcasts are another story.

I'm just going to ramble about some shows now, the things I'm watching and such. I have to catch up on Burn Notice this weekend and next up are Happy Endings and Man Up because it's faster to binge 30 minute shows!

I gave up on Suburgatory. I like it, but when I was collecting links to download on Friday I went, "It's not THAT important," and clicked out of the post. I'm having more fun with the other shows.

( American Horror Story )

( HIMYM and Chuck in general )

( Leverage )

( Misfits )

( Hell on Wheels )

( Grimm )

( Bored to Death )

( How to Make it in America )

I haven't watched the newest Hung yet, but that show keeps getting better, too. HBO, YOU'RE ON POINT. At least, with my shows. I hear Boardwalk Empire is getting even more bland than it used to be.

In other news, I know I tend to get into cycles where I'm like, "I WISH I KNEW A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT. I'M GONNA LEARN AN INSTRUMENT. INSTRUMENTS ARE EXPENSIVE. I HAVE A KEYBOARD. FUCK IT, MY FINGERS DON'T WORK THAT WAY. MUSIC IS HARD." But guys, OCARINAS. With my new phone I was able to download an Ocarina app. But it doesn't work properly (you can't play a D note, says one comment on the Marketplace... I just know I can't get a higher note than C) so I decided to price real ones. I won't buy a ceramic one because lololol I am a clumsy person who will break that shit eventually. And also, wouldn't it get nasty, being a wind instrument? I remember the recorder from freshman year of high school getting disgusting with my spit. I don't even know if I'm going to buy that particular brand--apparently there are lots of ocarina makers? Anyway, I figure plastic ones are decent enough. And it's geeky enough that I'd stick with it just for the geek factor, if not the musical accomplishment. WE SHALL SEE.

First off, Happy Town? THAT IS NOT AN ENDING. DIAF. I wasn't so invested in the series, but I was expecting something better.

At this point I still like The Good Guys but I'm more watching it for the sake of watching it, not because I really enjoy it enough.

And Hung, I have enjoyed so far. Team Tanya! (IDK if that's a real thing, I glanced at something on Facebook about who is the better pimp and I love to hate Lenore, so.)

Friday was awesome. I just watched TV all day, which I really needed. If I can look forward to a day like that every two weeks I think I can make it through this year.

Yesterday I watched some OnDemand with my dad and we threw around some Lost theories, but then we were interrupted by the Olympics so I forgot if we decided anything cool.

Really, I just enjoy waking up at noon or later on the weekends because I have to be up so much earlier the rest of the week.

( Men of a Certain Age )

( Lost )

( Psych )

( Leverage )

( The Deep End )

( Burn Notice (last week's and my favorite part about this week's) )

( Caprica )

I can't find a copy of Important Things small enough to run on my computer so I'll just wait until it pops up on OnDemand (...whenever THAT is...). But this last episode of Archer was hysterical. I don't think anyone reading this is watching that show, but if I was going to recommend an episode, it'd be that one.

Haha, I forgot I'm in school now so I have to go to bed now. So... TV thoughts.

( Men of a Certain Age )

( Psych )

( Leverage )

( Supernatural )

( Burn Notice )

( Big Love )

I don't know what just happened in Brothers & Sisters. I don't really care.

I HAVE BEEN AWAKE SINCE THURSDAY AT 4PM. IF I DON'T SLEEP TONIGHT I WILL GO INSANE. I guess I've been home too long. I need to actually use the energy I'm gaining at night so I can actually get back on schedule. Maybe tomorrow, I need to do a few things and there's movies to be seen downtown.

Oh, by the way-- I made it back in July, but I spent a good while on Wednesday cleaning it up for the premiere. So I now declare boredtodeath_tv officially open, for those interested. I'm not sure if it looks okay in IE because I only have IE 4.0 and it looks busted there. But hopefully it works in later versions.

I love when my favorite podcasters reblog my friends on Tumblr. I also like getting replies on Twitter from Heather Stewart, but that's old (yet amazing) news.

( Entourage )

( Leverage )

( Royal Pains )

( Psych )

I saw Fight Club for the first time the other day. I had been spoiled by VH1 for the ending a while ago and tried to forget it but I couldn't. I can't say anything about that hasn't been said, really, but I like how Tyler kept flashing in the background and foreground of different scenes before the narrator met him. And then I saw Inglourious Basterds tonight, but I'm still processing how I felt about it (aka where it falls on my list of favorite Quentin movies). However, Eli Roth has mesmerized me and even though I have no desire to see Hostel, I just may watch Cabin Fever again (I love that movie). >.>

I also read Nick & Nora's Infinite Playlist yesterday and it's a great book but nowhere near deserving the great movie they made from it. I just want to re-watch the movie (and tomorrow it's the movie of the day on movieoftheday on Tumblr! kasadsjakfhdadsaf). But first I want to finish reading A Brave New World because this book is AMAZING and I really wish I'd read this instead of like, Catcher in the Rye in high school. Although I can see why they didn't put this one on our list.

P.S. I keep watching HBO in between the movies just to see the Bored to Death promos. It's a problem.

( Leverage )

And then I tried to watch Dark Blue and just wanted more Leverage. Sorry Nicki Aycox, you're not that much of a draw. D:

( In Plain Sight )

( Burn Notice )

( Royal Pains )

I was going over my friendslist trying to decide whether to do a friends cut and it seems I've inadvertently de-friended a few people? So, oops, sorry, and welcome back. I also added a few new people. HAI. This kind of entry is run of the mill in these parts, jsyk.

Tomorrow shall be spent reading fics and books because Monday starts Psych week. I have to buy pineapples and the S3 DVDs (still, because the stores near me SUCK) and then it's Psych all week until the premiere. Of Season four. FOUR. OMG MY LITTLE SHOW IS ALL GROWED UP. <33

At some point I have to trek out to see Funny People (I would've gone today but for Leverage), G Force and Aliens in the Attic, too. SCHEDULING TIEMS.
