Dish is going on a FB and news diet!

I know, I know. This happens a couple times a year and it never lasts long. I get so frustrated by my hours in front of a screen, looking at nonsense ("...but nonsense it all is."--name that quote). I keep refreshing my screen and it's awful. I can't hold a thought in my head and nothing gets done.

My last star thing is that the Emmys were incredibly boring last night and Sofia Vergara was robbed. Jimmie Kimmel was a terrible host. I like his talk show, think he's funny but you need an upbeat and sparkly host--like Ellen, Hugh Jackman, Billy Crystal. On a better note, most of what I picked WON!

This is a shameless plug for Homeland. It really is the best show on TV, debuting on Sunday. I'd even say it's better than Breaking Bad, which is perched over the great white but not quite over it. I was elated to see Aaron Paul win and plant a giant smooch on Guancarlo Esposito, one of the greatest actors alive. There's Dexter also coming though it definitely jumped the shark during the Julia Stiles season. Maybe this one will be better. Who was the chick with Dexter in the audience? I thought he was back together with Jennifer Carpenter. Ugh. See what I mean?

Once I'm done with my TV diet, I'm going to pick up my Sons of Anarchy obsession.

I'm so glad that you watched The Shield and that you've moved on to Sons of Anarchy. I'm slightly ashamed to admit what awful show I watched over the weekend (I blame it on my cold) *cough* Army Wives *cough*. Good thing I had a graduate seminar (antidote?) to teach this morning.

You deserve to watch sh*t because you teach a really difficult subject. You need something chill after using your brain all day. (TG watches anything with Don Rickles and Dean Martin)

It's really hard to defend some of what I watch. But I suppose I could be doing worse things with my time. (right? right.)

A Facebook/TV fast must be an awesome experience. Good luck.

Dish said...

I highly recommend it. I haven't been this productive in years. And my synapses are firing!

dishcousin, you *should* watch junk TV (because it makes me feel better about my junkier TV watching Sneeze *Kardashians* Sneeze!
