I think I just like typing it, what do you think?

For those of you who don't actually know me, and there seem to be a couple of you, based on the comments, which is very flattering because why on earth go and read a rambling, self-absorbed blog kept by a stranger but don't answer that because this is the doggone internet and it's still a place of largely open access, no matter what the gov'ment and certain corporate profiteers want to make of it....

I hate when that happens.

I've entirely lost my train of thought, not that it doesn't derail easily at the best of times.

Anyhow. For those of you who don't actually know me, be aware that among my other half-hearted hobbies, I follow competitive figure skating. At this point in time, an important event called "Nationals" is taking place and since figure skating gets good ratings (ever since Nancy Kerrigan, may she stay off my television screen, got her knee whacked with a pipe, anyhow), they show it during primetime. The televised coverage usually goes on for 2-3 hours and there are usually three or four installments.

That means that tonight and tomorrow evening and for a significant chunk of the day on Sunday, I'll be watching thin, talented people do amazing things on ice instead of (sob) watching Spike BtVS episodes.

By the time I get to the second part of that two-parter, I'm going to have forgotten why I cared in the first place.

Also, an event which is very sad, my roommate will be leaving for several days, beginning next week. It's very sad to be all alone in the world.

On the plus side, on evenings where there isn't any ice skating I need to tape, or when I don't need to tape Frasier for her, or watch West Wing or CSI for myself, I'll have plenty of time to watch Other Things.

I don't know the skating schedule for the week when she's gone, but even without it I'm down to Monday and Friday for watching DVDs.

There's no point in writing to say I can watch Spike BtVS before and after these other programs. As I've been trying to establish, I'm running several, consecutive hobbies at once here. They each need their moments of TLC. I can only allot about an hour on a weekday evening to watch DVDs.

(Did I fool anyone or do we all know I just ordered the Season 3 DVDs, and that I intend to spend most of my "free" 10 evenings watching the rest of Season 2 and then Season 3? I thought so.)
