Commercials, Never Again
So I have another "new" show; this one Ryan bought on DVD. We've been watching Freaks & Geeks in this house lately, and it's actually really, really good. I spend about 90% of every episode feeling sorry for one character or another. *laugh* Makes you want to run right out and watch it, eh? You really should. It's funny and quick and real. And the high schoolers actually look like high schoolers. I've seen 7 out of 18 episodes since Wednesday night.
With all these shows on DVD, I'll never be able to watch commercial TV again! I've gotten used to that instant gratification: lingering shot of a character after just having discovered something shocking/revealed something important/etc... fade to black for commercial... and BAM, right back into the thick of things! Without having to wait through the commercial! It's great! And, even better than that? The next episode starts right up when this one ends! TV shows on DVD are definitely the way to go.
In non-TV news, Caitlin is in Chicago right now, staying with my parents. I'm totally jealous, in the way one gets when one hasn't been "home" in over nine months, since last Christmas, and has to pass on the perfect opportunity to go home because plane tickets are too expensive to only go for the weekend. *sigh* Why must travel be so expensive? Anyway, Caitlin auditioned for American Idol today. Sadly, she didn't make it, but I'm sure she was awesome. Since there was no audition in Atlanta this year, and the Tennessee audition was canceled, there were apparently record-breaking crowds for the Chicago audition. Maybe next year, my friend. Maybe next year.
And that, as they say, is that.
