Getting my Veg on!

If you don't want to turn yourself into a complete turnip head then don't get a new awesome TV. If you find turning your mind to total mush like mine an attractive idea, then it's time to get your veg on! You wouldn't believe how much TV Jon and I have managed to watch in the last month and a half! Back in the day we might watch 1 movie or 1 episode of some show we liked, but now thanks to Netflix, Vudu, & Tivo we are working on becoming the next Ebert & Roper. As a happily married & happily settled couple (meaning we aren't moving or doing any major home renovations for a while!) we are without children, and have finished all our schooling, so there isn't a whole lot of other stuff we are able to, or feel like doing in the evenings after work other than clean house, read, play on the computer, or you got it... watch the TV. This show cracked me up! Jamie Lee Curtis is a Scream! Very cute chick flick, I liked it, but Jon was snoring 5 minutes into it! Cute show from the family channel about a girl that learns to ride and care for horses while she served time in a juvenile detention center.

Army Wives is some pretty patriotic drama. This one surprised me. It wasn't so much about Darwin's theory, but about what he went through when his first born child died. Paul Bettany is a talented actor, and does an excellent job in this film. Liam Neeson & Meryl Streep... do I need to say anything more? It is about a family dealing with their son's involvement in a murder.

I read that they are making a second series of Downton Abbey, and I can't wait to see it! It is about a the family & servants who live and work in a large estate just as WW1 is about to break out. I'm a BBC aholic, this series was like an edgy British version of Desperate Housewives.
