This... probably qualifies me as slightly crazy.

I've been cross-stitching lately, which generally involves me putting TV shows I know well on in the background, so that I have something to keep me from getting bored with the cross-stitchiness.

Anyway...

Lately, my Cross-Stitching Background TV has been Lois & Clark, season 3. All very fun and entertainingly nutty.

Now, though, I've reached an episode I absolutely HATE. Not because it's actually all that bad - but the emotional stuff the characters are going through is just painful, and unnecessarily painful, and I don't want to watch that episode again.

Except...

I was kind of watching them all in order...

So, instead of SKIPPING the episode, and putting the NEXT one on for me to cross-stitch to, like a sensible person would, I have put the episode on, left the room, and retreated to my computer, where I am frantically reading websites and playing solitaire until the episode GOES AWAY.

...because, then, I won't have watched them out of order. But I'll still get to not watch this unwatchable episode.



Yes, I am indeed a loon.

Well.



I hope you at least have the sound on. Given that you can't see the TV, at least you could say that you've experienced it by vaguely hearing it in the background. That counts as 'in order'.

Otherwise, if you couldn't see OR hear the episode,
I'm afraid I would have to point out
that the one in your house
who could truly claim to have 'done' them, in order,
would not be you,
but your TV.

I don't think I'd want a household item to be officially one-up on me in the Lois-and-Clark stakes.

I did have the sound on. And sat there wincing whenever I heard it reach a bit I didn't like...
