JOURNAL: TV on the Computer

Okay, so I haven't totally kicked the TV habit. I watched a lot of tv on my computer last night. After the running club meeting, I got home around 9:00 PM and went to the computer to type up the minutes (didn't want that on my head for days as beforetimes). In the background, I watched/listened to 1) The Apprentice, 2) Lost, 3) Desperate Housewives, and 4) Grey's Anatomy -- each available at the major networks' website.

Yes, that's a lot of tv. But I did manage to git-'er-done. It's just before, I wasn't able to work and watch tv at home because 1) I don't have a laptop, and 2) splitting the Brighthouse cable input between the tv and a computer has given me issues many-a-times before.

Now, I'm thinking that I should update my video card and get a second flat-panel monitor, so I can have an expanded desktop... but that'd be spoiling. I'm still holding off on buying an iPod because I'm undecided as to what size/flavor I want-versus-need.

I just need to think: "flexible" and "resourceful"... and with the idea of "minimizing my footprint" because I have a whole lot of crap in my house; and the recent purgings (to charity and to trash) have produced a sense of relief each time... to know that I don't "need this", that I can live "without that"... I feel less tied down, and more mobile, which is how I would envision as myself as being successful... that, plus owning 1) a car with a sunroof, and 2) a front-loading washer and dryer.

Anyways, work's been really busy, but that's good because 1) I'm asking for help more when I need it, 2) it makes the day go by much faster, and 3) for the past few days, I've been getting a little sense of accomplishment each time I come in.

So, with no race scheduled for this weekend, I'm thinking Disney (EPCOT and maybe one of the resorts) on Friday, then housework (incl. some cooking!) on Saturday and/or Sunday.

The weather's supposed to be rough tonight (for practice - mile repeats) and tomorrow, but I'm in no rush. I have stuff to keep me occupied. Plus, I could use an extra hour of rest here-and-there if offered.

Okay, from one meeting to another to another... later. :)
