New Hobby -or- Wasting Time

Ahh, cable. How you delight us with worthless things to watch. How you bring us blinking images that entice us for hours. Oh the glory of your shows that leave us thinking, "Why did we waste three hours watching this?"

Andy and I probably watch more TV than we should. It's so easy to come home after a long day of work, eat dinner, clean up, and then cuddle on the davenport and turn on the TV. We try to keep it educational, of course. Our favorites are the discovery channels, history channels, OPB, the food network (for me), sports (for Andy). But sometimes there just isn't anything enticing on those channels, though. In looking for substitutes, we have resorted to the worst sort of entertainment: really, really, really bad movies.

It kind of happened by accident. On a rainy, lazy, Saturday afternoon we found ourselves watching a really bad sci-fi. I mean, it was really bad. Bad graphics, bad dialogue, bad plot. I can't remember what it was called... In fact, I can't remember the names of much of the bad movies we've watched. I think I may be blocking them out of my mind. But, most recently, the bad movie of the night was......


Young Guns II
'80s. Western. Bon Jovi soundtrack. Emelio Estevez. Christian Slater. What else needs to be said?

Sounds like you guys have the same TV patterns as we do. Same channels and everything, seriously. But yes...Josh actually gets excited when we come across a bad Sci-Fi channel movie, it's quite sad:-) So the next time we are laughing at a movie about radioactive raccoons or 5-headed aliens, I will think of you;-)
