Today has been less productive than I had hoped, but it was a pretty good day, all the same. I had planned to go out and run some errands, do some housework and review the writing samples I have for this week. Instead, I never left the house and I watched entirely too much television. Can’t complain about that!
When I got up this morning, I fixed myself some breakfast and sat down in front of the television to eat and watch recorded shows from my DVR. After I ate, I played some Fish Wrangler, taking care of my daily tournaments and stuff, and I made the mistake of scrolling through my on-screen television guide to see what was on. When I got my new DirecTV service, they gave me three months of all the premium channels free. Of course I have to remember to cancel them later or they’ll charge me. I will definitely cancel them because I “never” watch premium channels, or even have a need/desire to watch them. Why would I need premium channels when I have this?
But it just so happens that HBO Family was running all six of the Star Trek (original series) movies and I got sucked into them for a little while. I watched the second half of the first movie and then turned off the TV, but I realized I wasn’t really finished with the computer so I turned the TV back on and watched the second half of The Wrath of Khan and The Search for Spock. I set the DVR to record The Voyage Home because I really did have things to do.
I did put my laundry away, take a shower, and heat and eat left overs from last night’s dinner at Red Lobster. I watched The Voyage Home while I ate dinner and ironed some clothes. Now I need to read my samples, but it’s almost 10 o’clock and I need to turn on the Grammys so I will be up to date with the rest of the world tomorrow morning and before anybody can spoil the results (not that they’re that important).
Since I am one of the three people whose work is being critiqued this week, I only have two submissions to go through, so I’ll do one tomorrow and one on Tuesday. It’ll work out fine.
So there’s your boring report for this Sunday. Hope you had a more adventurous week-end than I did.

I’m not much of a tv watcher. I went to a college bball game Saturday and finished a manuscript yesterday. Still not all that exciting either. 🙂
Congratulations on finishing the manuscript… Actually, I think THAT’S pretty exciting!
You have a very impressive movie collection! I still have cupboards full of VHS tapes (mostly Disney type stuff that belongs to the kids.) I need to purge those or transfer them to DVD or… I’m not sure. As soon as I do something, the technology will be out of date anyway.
I actually have another one of those stands (almost full) that I got since that picture was taken a year ago.
I have a few VHS still to swap but I used to have a lot of them. I’ve replaced them with DVDs as I get to them (in alphabetical order, of course). You’re right though. The tech is ever-changing. I haven’t gotten to the point of expecting all my media to be digital yet. I’m afraid of one hard drive crash or something and losing EVERYTHING!!!
