The Great Experiment: Season Four

Every once in a while it’s important to step back and think about what I could’ve been doing instead of spending 60 hours watching a TV show that ended three years ago.

1) Volunteered. Why I didn’t: Selfishness.

2) Read at least 10 books. Why I didn’t: I read pretty much all the time I’m not watching TV. And I love books, but both TV and books are entertainment, essentially, you know? So what’s the difference? Right? RIGHT?

3) Cleaned my apartment. Why I didn’t: Clutter is an aesthetic.

4) Exercised. Why I didn’t: Aversion to pain.

5) Written a book (a short one). Why I didn’t: ………. I don’t like this list anymore.

Yes, I’m still watching Buffy like it’s my job. The other day I watched five episodes, which means I spent nearly as much time watching Buffy as I did working that day, taking into account the fact that I am addicted to the internet and tend to waste a lot of time on it. And now I’ve made myself sad in so many ways.

Here’s something that cheered me up: this (Riley). For some reason, just scrolling through these pictures is completely hilarious. The facial hair! The fan art! The beefcake romance novel poses!

I was going to write something now about how much I loved the season finale with the Sopranos-ass-kicking dream sequences and how this was the transitional season marked by an odd reliance on Government Chips in People’s Heads/Chests, but I’ve strangely decided all of a sudden that I probably have better things to do. Hmm. Wonder where that came from.

And up next: Well, I’m already halfway through Season Five, and It. Is. Awesome. Screw productivity!
