I'm just a girl who cain't say no
One really exciting thing about the writers' strike is that I will be freed from my enslavement to the TV. Once they run out of new episodes, I won't have to worry about what to watch and what to tape and what to watch or not watch online. I started to think, at first, that this would be a really exciting time for me, so that instead of this¹:
| Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | Shouty Man Shouting Into a Megaphone Shoutily (ABC) | The Barney and Marshall Show, Also With Other Characters (CBS) | A Very Special "Social Experiment" Brought to You By Ashton Kutcher (CW) | Pushing Daisies is on at some point on Wednesdays but I always forget to turn the TV on. | The Cliff and Marc and Kenny Show, Also With Other Characters (ABC) | There is nothing worth watching on Fridays. I know that you have a differing opinion, but it's wrong. | ||
| Stupid Stupid Nerd Show That I Have Watched Once or Twice While Waiting For... (CBS) | Blurgh (NBC) | |||||||
| 9 | The Predictable, Repetitive Show With Nice Old Timey Music (CBS) | Mutant Adventures in Medieval Japan! (NBC) | Mister Cranky Doc (FOX) | I Am Tired of Jim (NBC) | ||||
| Hit Or Miss Doctor Show (NBC) | ||||||||
| 10 | Doctor Show That I Only Watch When I Haven't Bothered To Turn The TV Off (NBC) | |||||||
| SNL happens later ↓ | ||||||||
My evening schedule would look like this:
| Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | Learn enriching new things | Smell flowers | Serve nourishing gruel to Dickensian orphans² | Leap and hop and skip and jump | Cure cancer | Finally get around to cleaning my apartment | Learn to knit |
| 9 | Institute World Peace | Think important thoughts | Read a book | ||||
| 10 | Eat whirled peas | Write a novel | Cook an actual meal | ||||
Unfortunately, my sister has lent me the third season DVDs of Quantum Leap. I thought I had kicked my Quantum Leap addiction once I got to see John Cullum playing Don Quixote in season 2, but it would appear that's not the case. So my new schedule is going to look like this:
| Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | Quantum Leap | Quantum Leap | Quantum Leap | Quantum Leap | Quantum Leap | Quantum Leap | Quantum Leap |
| 9 | Quantum Leap | Quantum Leap | Quantum Leap | ||||
| 10 | Quantum Leap | Quantum Leap | Quantum Leap | ||||
¹ The greyish ones are my must-see shows, the others are what I'd watch if the TV were already on.
² Sometimes I feel like my blog doesn't have enough Dickensian orphans in it.

I....I laughed out loud in a way that 'lol' doesn't seem to convey.

Hadn't you watched all of this, like, twelve times already? Because aren't you, like, the biggest presidential nerd alive?

That depends. how do you feel about Vince Vaughn in general? He is playing the exact same guy he's been playing since Swingers, only now he's got an older brother who isn't just perfect he's a saint. I enjoyed it and laughed a good bit, which isn't to say it's exactly a great movie, but it was entertaining.
Also, I just noticed that you actually said "Cain't" in your title and that made me laugh.

This post is very funny. I always smell flowers and serve gruel WHILE watching tv though.

Pushing Daisies is on at eight. Eight! I know, it's too soon! I usually end up missing the first 5 minutes, because usually nothing good comes on until at leat nine.
