The water cooler
May. 2nd, 2007 12:47 pmI seem to have developed a television habit. It started primarily thanks to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
goddessofmercy for hooking my on Buffy the Vampire Slayer on DVD. She kept suggesting other good stuff to watch. Adam and I had a whole netflix queue just for tv shows. We also get free cable. Thankfully, I am no ethics teacher and I happily accept this free gift with my rent. (I hope I haven't just jinxed it by admitting it publicly.) It's so helpful for things like random viewings of The Daily Show, the Discovery Channels Planet Earth, and The Pussycat Dolls search for the next Pussycat Doll. TV brings us all down to the lowest common denominator at some point or another, no?
But when not fueling my urge to vote, travel or be 20 again, television comes in handy for things like NBA Playoffs. Oakland's Golden State Warriors might very well knock out the number one team! They heroically came close last night. It's fun to root for the home team.
Last night I also indulged in another of my favorite tv pop-culture shows, Veronica Marrs. Seasons 1 and 2 (seen on DVD) were great. Season 3 has been disappointing. Disjointed, narratively uncertain, and very overly concerned with Veronica's love life. Did anyone else see last night's show - the first after a several month hiatus?
