Comments on: Some days I bore even myself. http://flotsamblog.com/2006/09/19/some-days-i-bore-even-myself/ Deplorable solipsism? The new face of literature? Or merely a clever procrastination device...

I was only allowed to watch Nova and Star Trek TNG as a kid...that was all our TV got. Everyone else was watching 90210 (not that I'd have been allowed to watch that anyway) while my brother or father fiddled with the antennas to make the snow across the set lighten up enough to see the picture. Oh and the whole gestating thing, me too on that as well. I once found myself wondering if it was safe to take Midol while pregnant EVEN THOUGH IT WAS FOR THE CRAMPING AND HEAVY BLEEDING I WAS HAVING. Ever the bright one. I feel your pain. Dude, ME TOO!

(well, we can hope) How cruel that your infertility symptoms mimic pregnancy- I'd kick that cyst right in the ass if it weren't lodged in your abdomen. You deserve all the thesis-distracting Tivo you can watch! And besides, some people work better after they've squandered their time and are facing hopeless deadlines- I do ALL my important things at 3 AM the night before they're supposed to be done!

We just got that Tivo-esque also with our new DishNetwork stuff, and doesn't it effing rule? Like seriously? And like you, we grew up with 3, count 'em 3 channels. And anytime there was breaking news, we were screwed. So dude, I TOTALLY get it. I have like 37 episodes of MXC taped right now, and I don't know if I'll ever watch them. I just like to know that they're there. Right on. DUDE, OH MY JEHOSAPHATS.

I don't think I could live without mine. I never watch something at the actual time it is on. Wait it becomes very addictive. Wait until you decide that you need a tivo in every room.

(The chips are organic; you'll never miss the chemicals.)

In fact, my PCOS can successfully emulate every single of the "early pregnancy symptoms" google yields. So, I hear you. You might need to declare e-mail bankruptcy then start new after the semester ends :) I am the queen of fake pregnancy symptoms.

ANTM only takes, like 42 minutes that way. Trust me, the only way I finished my Masters thesis was by taking many, many well-timed breaks.

I honestly don't know why I am even bothering to record it, seeing as how a) what the hell else am I going to do on a Wednesday night while 35 weeks pregnant and b) LIKE I WOULD MISS SEEING IT LIVE ANYWAYS. Yay for TV. And yay for the end of this semester, I hope you reward yourself appropriately. I am not ashamed to admit that I have subscribed through my Tivo to a Season Pass of The Biggest Loser.
