And then there was one.
Whew! So many things to write about and it's only Monday at noon!
First off, thanks to all who commented below. I had no idea I'd spark conversation with that post. I think there are a lots of reasons people turn on the TV and a lot of ways that they watch it. For me personally, I live alone. So when I turn on the TV it's mostly for the sound of it. I also tend to do other things while watching: cleaning, exercising, knitting. However, there are times when I just sit mindlessily in front of it. So for this week, my resolution is to DVR what I want to watch and only watch that. The other times, I'm going to turn the TV off and read a book. I'll let ya know how it goes.
Second, I'd like to congratulate my friend Rob and his wife Leeann who had a gorgeous baby girl over the weekend. She's their first and I'm sure they're a bit sleep deprived, but I hope they're enjoying her.
Third, As the Pump Turns. I am sad to report that there is only one Triops left in the tank. This weekend, after a vigorous bout of egg laying, Number 1 and Red succumbed to their own little Triops heaven.
Next, to prove that I do indeed spend too much time with media, I have this weekend's movie reviews:
* Matchstick Men - This movie wasn't really what I was expecting. Nicolas Cage plays an con man with a horrible case of OCD who finds out he has a daugther. Hilarity ensues, and the movie does take a few suprise turns. Highly enjoyable.
* Northern Exposure - Season 1 - My parents loved this show when it was on air, and I have recently come to love Rob Morrow through watching Numb3rs. It's pretty funny and I'm eagerly waiting for the second disc.
* The French Lieutenant's Woman - This is an older movie, starring Meryl Streep and Jeremy Irons. The movie is a film within a film and a bit complicated, tracing a modern couple embarking on an affair while portraying a Victorian couple in a movie. The biggest surprise for me here was how SEXY Jeremy Irons was a few years back.
* Donnie Brasco - This was a pretty decent mob flick with Johnny Depp and Al Pacino. The hardest part for me was that it is a true story - scary that these things still happen in the world.
* Chronicles of Narnia - This was last week's movie screening at work and I have to say I quite enjoyed it. I remember the books and this was a pretty good adaptation.
And finally, from the Odd News at Yahoo I leave you with a tidbit about the wave of the future.
Future sex: gizmos, robots
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - When America's top sex researchers gathered recently to discuss the next decade in their field, some envisioned a future in which artificial sex partners could cater to every fantasy.
"What is very likely to be present before 2016 would be a multi-sensual experience of virtual sex," said Julia Heiman, director of the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction at Indiana University, Bloomington.
A field dubbed "teledildonics" already allows people at two remote computers to manipulate electronic devices such as a vibrator at the other end for sexual purposes.
I don't know about you, but I'll take the good old fashioned kind!
