So, after getting off the phones and some light commiserating with colleagues, I left work and ran a few quick errands. Some much needed supplies an a shamrock shake later (call them a weakness), I find myself more than ready for my normal Monday night ritual of settling down with my DVR for what I consider quality programming. The Syracuse game is available on the radio and my phone keeps my updates with stats, so I had complete faith in being able to watch what I wanted.
On Monday nights, I DVR Chuck, House, and Castle, and in all actuality probably my top 3 favorite shows. More than likely because I can see myself as a combination of all 3 title characters, minus the cool job and smoking hot girlfriend of Chuck, the respected position and paycheck of House, and the money and smoking hot partner of Castle. 2 parts egocentric, 1 part self-doubting. It makes me wonder if everyone picks their television by looking for mirrors to their own nature and soul. And if so, WTF is your life like if GTL is an intrinsic part of it. Now, I don't like to think of myself as judgmental...HEY! I said I don't like to THINK of myself as judgmental, not that I am not, but very seldom do I form an opinion without watching anything or doing any research, but I am damn proud to say that I have never seen a single episode of Jersey Shore, nor any episodes of any of the season's of American Idol. Reality TV has always been kind of a mystery to me. I never understood watching people who are NOT actors ACTING to different contrived situations (not The Situation)
But if I really am nothing more than a combination of the characters on my DVR, when can I act more like Sterling Archer?
