This week only Find out what TV programs I'm watching and what I think about the fact that I'm watching them. Hopefully this will turn out to be a short list.
Day | Show | |
---|---|---|
Sunday November 1, 1998 | I watched the Packer game in the afternoon. | Go Packers! Go Russ Feingold! |
Monday November 2, 1998 | When I went home for lunch today, Hari had The Daily Show on, and I watched about two minutes of it while my bread was toasting. Later on, when I got home from the bike team meeting, someone was watching the X-Files re-runs and I watched the last 10 minutes of that. It was one about this guy in fatigues with a gun who's sneaking through a crowd to shoot this army-guy who's giving a speech. This assassin could turn invisible, and thereby made it tough for Mulder and Scully to trick him into driving into a telephone pole or something, anyhow, they got him and rescued the general. | The Daily Show is always amusing. The X-Files is great. I can't wait for next Sunday. I am happy with myself for keeping my TV intake for the day under 15 minutes. |
Tuesday November 3, 1998 | No TV during the day. In the evening, while I was cooking and eating dinner, someone was flipping through channels and I watched part of (god help me) Revenge of the Nerds II. | The first one was funny, but the second one was just dumb. Happily I had to go vote so I only saw about 20 minutes of it. |
Wednesday November 4, 1998 | None, Nada, Nichts. No TV for me today. | For not watching TV, I got embarrassingly little useful stuff done, but that's because I caught Kevin's Cold and had to sleep. |
Thursday November 5, 1998 | No TV again. Hooray for me! | If I had finished my physical chemistry homework earlier I might have gotten sucked in, but those problem set always take me awhile, and by the time I was done it was late. |
Friday November 6, 1998 | I almost didn't watch any TV again today, but that would have been three days in a row, so I went and flipped through the channels for a half hour. The most interresting one was on the history channel (I think), that had this guy sick and dying in bed, and these wise-men type guys kept mixing up concoctions for him and he'd look at them suspiciously and then drink them. There was a chef who mixed up concoctions too, but she never went to give them to the sick guy. | Watching TV for a half hour was not the automatic thing for me to do, as I was real tired and feeling lousy because of my cold and just having been outside for 2 hours to watch a soccer game and ride my bike home. But it seems to have turned fruitfully into webpage filler, and I'm feeling much better today, so there you go! |
Saturday November 7, 1998 | I went to the airport to see Patricia and David leave for New Mexico, and caught a few glimpses of the Badgers trouncing Minnesota on the airport TV. Later on I watched South Park. I should mention, since this will be my last day of TV-reporting, that tomorrow is the big day for X-Files, and I'll be watching that for sure. | My studying seemed to be on schedule, so I figured a half hour of South Park couldn't hurt, and it didn't. |
