not just tv anymore

as it has happened in the past, i have turned off the regularly broadcasted tv and switched to the video game world... i connected the xbox about six days ago and may have watched ten minutes of tv, briefly during parts of meals, since last tuesday evening when i connected the new toy... ncaa college footbal has absorbed my audio-video time (and most all my other free time as well... also sleep time as i did not sleep the first night, tuesday into wednesday, and slept only two hours last night (only cuz i had softball to play today and did not want to hurt myself more than i might on no sleep... this game so beats out tv for me, at least for a while... i may wane in my absorption sometime next month, maybe... time will tell... and when time tells me, i'll tell you, cuz you were just dying to know, right?...

anyone who watches a certain tv show knows exactly what i mean and for better or worse, the obviousness of the opening of almost every show ought to make this show boring as hell, but i love the characters so much, i tune in whenever i can anyway... even if ziva did put on a few pounds...

yeah, i mean ncis...

meanwhile, i've been skipping idol the last few weeks and don't really miss it, but would watch if i remembered and was home or awake or whatever, especially if it was a shared experience, but that's personal and not background tv, now isn't it?... i have watched the ncaa tournament when i've been home and awake and remembering... surprises there, even if nobody is sharing these days... what?... i miss caprica, and that's not just libido talking... in fact, not much libido at that...

yeah, i mean g'nite :)

it's on a lot, actually

as it usually is when i have a roommate, so i ought to be using this blog to record what's on the tube in the background cuz that is what this blog is for... coming home from softball and shopping and eating, i found star trek: first contact on and watched the second half of it while i ate and now i'm choosing (or switching) between ncis, which is a staple in the background tv diet around here these days, and total recall a favorite film for the familiarity and memory and other reasons, and several ncaa basketball tournament final games on several other channels... if i get bored there are hundreds of other channels to explore, but typically i choose only a handful for the background tv at any given moment...

i was not surprised by idol this week, except maybe that i actually found time to watch some of it... last night i wasn't home, so i don't know what was on the tv if it was on... and so, there's the btv report for today, whenever today may be...
