Seriously
its hot
its humid
its summer
in the city
the country
the mountains
and
at the shore
my Fridaycation
was
spent indoors
after a brief expedition to the store
I skipped
walking with Toonman
this weekend
he went early
before it got insanely hot
a good plan
it was so unexciting at Home Sweet Home
a lot of water was drunk
a lot of recorded TV was caught up on
I will miss
Game of Thrones
we watched
the last 3 episodes of the season
all at once
we watched
the pilot/premiere episode of
News Room
I love Aaron Sorkin's writing
if you've never watched
Sports Night
watch it on NetFlix
its wonderful
and
I succumbed to Downton Abbey
I've two episodes left
I dont want it to end
I will miss the detestible O'Brien and Thomas
as much as I do
Anna and Mr Bates
but most of all Cousin Violet
Since I am not a beach person
I hate the sand
I dont like not knowing where the bottom is when I go into water
I do a lot of things indoors
aside from
sitting on the couch watching TV
I sit on the couch and read
I sit at the computer and surf
I sit on the couch playing Words with six different Friends on the iPad
and
my friend Annie and I
are up to
113 turns
of
DrawSomething
this post was so exciting
I believe I need a calm photo to wrap it up
hang on while I look for one
here you go
Toonman's desk
so
is it hot enough?
I gotta get on the Downton Abbey bus. Stay cool sistah!!
ReplyDeleteToonman's desk looks somewhat like mine haha! Loooove Downton Abbey, was on last night here. Great characters, so very English what, what!!
ReplyDeleteNew Room is definitely worth watching -- so get that DVR up and recording. I try to walk in the evening (need to work in the morning) but the morning is the way to go. I pretty much hate the heat.
ReplyDeleteAs you know from the weather forecast on my blog it's definitely not hot here, just rain, rain and more rain! Can you believe I never watched Downton Abbey?
ReplyDelete"News Room" was interesting. We watched it this weekend. Loved Jeff Daniels' performance. Little hard to believe he could give that speech at the beginning without encountering a single "Boo!" or some sort of disruption from the crowd, or even his colleagues on-stage butting in, though. Great speech, spot on (IMVHO), but impossible to have really happened that way!
ReplyDeleteMrs. Chatterbox and I recently broke down and ordered HBO and we're now hooked on Game of Thrones. We are also enjoying Deadwood, in spite of all the swearing, and Newsroom is one we plan on sticking with. And we've long enjoyed Downton Abbey. It seems we have similar tastes when it comes to TV preferences.
ReplyDeleteNo TV or internet surfing for us this weekend...a small tornado set down in our little town and we lost power plus cable/internet. It was so hot (105) we spent a very nice weekend with family (who had power and a cool house). Everything is getting back to normal except for the empty fridge. Temps are down to the high 90's now
ReplyDeleteI do like Downton Abbey and Deadwood - will have to look into Newsroom.
Stay cool!
I too was sooooo sad when we finished Downton Abbey ... can't wait for the next season. And yes, Newsroom looks good as well. It is hot, even up here in Maine!
ReplyDeleteI actually enjoyed this post!! while you guys melt, we get mossier and mossier - so wet here - still wearing winter boots xo
ReplyDeleteI have to look into Downtown Abbey. Heard lots about it.
ReplyDeleteNever got uncomfortably hot here this weekend.
Both days were really perfect summer days.
Hope it cools off for you soon.
Daryl, all great things that I like doing too! Except we don't have the heat. I don't mind that really. We're not big fans of it, especially combined with humidity. We don't have to worry about that though. It's continues to be cold and wet on this coast. No real sign of summer yet. An improvement is coming, but I'll believe that when I see it!
ReplyDeleteHeat makes me sad. Our typical brutal summer temps are on the way & I am sad. Summer is my hibernating season...I do not go out unless absolutely necessary, sad. Will go & watch fireworks on the 4th (my birthday) & hope it is cool enough outside by then to enjoy them. Caught Jeff Daniels' Newsroom speech on FB...loved it. Made me want to order HBO just to see more of that show.
ReplyDeleteI think Downton Abbey is my favorite show ever. I'm so glad you like it.
ReplyDeleteNever even heard of most/all of the shows you mentioned but glad you're able to stay cool and get caught up. The best place to be in heat like this indoors...although we're going to be at the beach next week and I. Can't. WAIT.
ReplyDeleteLoved Downton Abbey ..have the first two series on
ReplyDeleteDVD from Sam's Club... so I can watch whenever...
Do you and Toonman have matching headphones ??
I wear mine a lot especially when Bob is watching
golf...
I love all the shows you mentioned:) Just watched the second Newsroom episode this evening, sitting here with a cool breeze blowing through the window...
ReplyDeleteI didn't want Downton Abbey to end either... can't wait for fall's new shows... hope the heat is letting up a little...
ReplyDeleteKnowing how ungodly hot & humid & close it can get in the Big Eastern Seaboard Cities, I have thought of you. . . . Do stay in your cooling center! Sun here is hot, but the trade winds make me grateful I'm not riding the subway to work.
ReplyDeleteStay cool, Daryl
Have a GREAT Week-

The final episodes of Game were good. Glad the little guy lived, found love, got out (or did he?) I'm more addicted to the Borgias though. . .
ReplyDeleteI love Downton Abbey, I'm partial to Mr. Bates. Not that we are related or have a thing in common. He is much more noble than I.
ReplyDeleteI will tell ya, hot is way better if you have electric!
