Day 11 - A show that disappointed you

Dexter

There are many things that recommended me to this show. Serial killer, for one (I find them terribly fascinating) - reformed serial killer, to top that. Investigating murders. Attractive man

But, I started watching it earlier last year and couldn't get into it. I tried pressing through the episodes, waiting for the "click" that always comes with a new show obsession, but 5 episodes in, I realized I was pressing myself through EVERY episode and it was never going to "click."

Gave it another chance when Sean started to watch it. Figured maybe it was a 'Bones' situation and it just wasn't the right time to get hooked. Again, I was bored and semi-annoyed at most of the main characters

Maybe if I watched a few episodes, I could point out what I find wrong with it, but for now, it will remain that show that disappointed me without any justification

I'm not really sure which is worse:

falling asleep in your bed for an entire night in a hot room, sleeping for 8 hours and waking up sweaty and gross

or

falling asleep in 30 minute increments on the couch in front of the AC, but never quite getting to sleep properly.

In other news, I must have left the lights on in my car or forgot to unplug the iPod thingy that charged my iPod (though, I'm not sure that could drain a whole battery), because my car is dead dead dead. I realized this when I went out to get a juicy burger and some french onion soup. Yeah. That didn't happen. I did order Wing Zone, though, and had some fantastic wings and potato wedges

I have come to the conclusion that Kraft and Hidden Valley are holding out on us. Does anyone wonder why restaurant Ranch is always better (or, at least I think so)? If you want Ranch, you go out and buy it at the store, but they all taste the same and they NEVER taste like the stuff you get with wings or pizza or anything else. Where do I buy restaurant Ranch? Where do I get this glorious dipping sauce? Wings dipped in Ranch are pure gold, but if you ever try to dip them in Hidden Valley's, the taste is ruined forever and nothing is right

*sigh*

Passing through Phillips and into the hallway that leads to the caf gave me one of the oddest feelings. I was carrying my messenger bag and a notebook and had the distinct feeling like I should be going to rehearsal. I almost turned into the stairwell before I remembered that I had gone there to play piano, not direct a play.

It's almost 6:30am and I'm not really sure what to do. I've been sleeping on and off all day long, which is probably why I could only sleep in 30 minute increments, but I feel so tired. Perhaps I should turn off the damn TV and just go to bed

Yep. Sounds like a plan to me

  1. Oil change needed asap? Sorry about the car... at least you have wheels of the bladed sort.

    Also not for this post, but I was thinking about what I would put for the show I didn't think I would like question and was def going to go with Bones as well. Sigh--how it has won us over...
