The Long & Short of It


Holidays = TV Marathons

Unlike last year when I actually needed (okay, wanted) a replacement for my near-death iPod mini, I have nothing that I want to so badly this year that it’s worth fighting Black Friday crowds.  (In case you haven’t noticed, I hate crowds). Therefore, I have declared today a lazy day where I refuse to leave the apartment.  Instead, I sit on the Lazy Boy and watch television all day.

The TV gods make it so easy for me because holidays always mean marathons on at least a handful of channels.  Today, I’m starting, glossy-eyed, at the wanderlust-inducing Anthony Bourdain No Reservations, which is an enjoyable mix of travel, food, and cynicism.

I’m a little disappointed by what looks to be a Latin American theme so far–not because I have anything against Latin America, I just want a bit more variety.
