So, here I am, sitting here in the living room on a breezy cool evening. The FP and our houseguest are out by the pool. I was sitting here, and I thought to myself, "If I had a smartphone I would hang out by the pool more often."
Sick.
Sick mind. See, the FP sits out there for hours by himself, spending most of the time on his iphone. Our friend also has a smartphone. Sure, the FP and our friend make conversation out there. But there are spaces of silence, when I know they are both on facebook or checking emails or whatever.
Yeah, I bring my Macbook Pro out on the lanai. But I don't want to take it outside the screen door. What if I am standing by the pool and I fling my Macbook Pro into the pool? I mean, I did fling the FP's phone across the floor before, and I broke the glass.
Anyway, the reality is, that I'm multitasking right now. I couldn't do that if I were outside. In here, I can watch TV and be on the laptop. Killing a swan and a toucan with one rock.
What am I watching, you ask? I know how you are always clamoring for that bit of information. I am watching Hoarding: Buried Alive. This is the best show to watch before I need to clean the house. So, I need to start cleaning the house tomorrow for our next visitor next weekend. The house is not too dirty right now, but there still isn't enough storage space. Anyway, after watching this show, I should be motivated to clean and organize every nook and cranny. It's a natural alternative to crystal meth. I mean I don't know that from experience, but my friend once told me that she knew someone who would take it and then clean their house.
Last night, I watched TV on the Macbook Pro in bed for the first time ever. Our house guest was kind of crashed out on the couch, and the FP was going to bed. So, I thought I would get on the Xfinity website and watch some TV. I had been waiting for a chance to check it out. I had thought about watching Twilight Eclipse, because I knew it was on demand and yesterday was the last day. Unfortunately, it was only available to watch on an actual TV. Well, I guess I could have googled how to watch it free online. But, instead, I decided to check out the TV selections online. Unfortunately, I had watched all the recent episodes of all my shows that I watch.
So, I delved into unfamiliar territory. As I announced last night, I watched this show "The Middle" which is a new ABC show. It's a sitcom about a family with 3 kids. I guess the middle is the awkward dorky overzealous teenage girl. The oldest is a high school boy and the youngest is a weird child emotionless child prodigy. This is what I gathered from the one episode. What did I think of it? There were a few sparse entertaining moments... but none of the characters were endearing, and it has nothing over Modern Family. Modern Family is so hilarious, that unfortunately, it is going to ruin my perspective of any family sitcom I watch after it. The bar is raised very high, that a pole vaulter on stilts might have trouble clearing it.
