Other Diversions

Like most of the other knitting bloggers I caught up with this morning, I didn't spend much time at all knitting on Sunday. I was too lazy, too glued to the tube.

Too bad there was nothing worth watching! *snort*

In the morning, I surfed around the political talking heads before we went to church. On the local Fox news station (we don't get the real Fox news on our dish subscription) (thankfully) I happened to see our beloved Governor, "Woody", being interviewed. THE MAN CANNOT PRONOUNCE THE NAME OF OUR STATE. For those of you who may have been watching, it's NOT pronounced "Col-o-rah-do"; it's pronounced "Col-o-ra-do"* where the "ra" syllable rhymes with "bath." (I understand that folks in Nevada have the same problem.) I also thought his casual Sunday attire (a sweatshirt?) was a bit too casual for the Sunday morning show, especially when the Governor from Michigan, also being interviewed, was wearing business attire. But now I'm getting catty.

The afternoon was spent watching the Broncos hold on by their fingernails to pull out of Tampa with a win.

After dinner, I watched a bit of "Terminator 2" while waiting for "Desperate Housewives" to come on. It was disappointing; I would love nothing more than a cheesy soap opera to look forward to each week, but this one was over the top in terms of silliness. Oh well, we did manage to catch the re-run of the "Lost" pilot on Saturday night. Oh wow, maybe this is the show I'll look forward to each week. And wouldn't you know, it's on at the same time as Mythbusters? We'll have to catch Mythbusters on the weekend re-runs, I guess.

So now you know; I'm somewhat of a couch potato.

*On the dictionary link, you can click on a little sound file icon to hear the correct pronunciation. That's the way we really say it.

I'm excited for next week's lost too. I'd never noticed the sound byte on dictionary sites. Thanks for pointing it out!

Guv'nuh Woody is just practicing for a Big Move East. He hopes. I'm already collecting boxes for him.

OMG another Mythbusters fan!! That is such a cool show!! I'm a bit of a couch potato as well, find it works well to watch a movie I've seen before and knit/stitch while watching. But mysthbusters I need to watch!! LOL
