So. Far. Behind.

I'm a little conflicted here. Since I was home for about a month and my TiVo is in NYC, I became very behind on television shows that I have grown to love. I am now lost in TV land and not sure where to go. Do I spend valuable time going back to watch 4, 5, 6 hour marathons on Hulu of shows to catch up? Or, do I just suck it up and jump right back in and get around to watching the shows I missed over the summer? Because I've gotten so far backlogged, I don't watch the current episodes that have been recorded and then those end up deleting themselves to make room for newer content. It's a never-ending cycle of please watch me or I will go away! So here I sit. In a conundrum.

In other news, I'm also very far behind in life in general. You know, with this whole job search thing. I've become more proactive though, which is good, but I often feel like it's too little too late. Many of my friends have finally gotten over the hump that I still can't seem to climb. Stupid Miley Cyrus song now in my head. But, to be honest, it's kind of true. I know I will get there eventually, but it sure is taking its sweet ass time. I am so over the delay in the start of my real adult life. Real responsibilities would be a blessing right about now. But I guess it's good Thanksgiving is right around the corner!

And on that note, off to do more packing for a Floridian adventure.

I feel accomplished

Today, I finally found a dress for my cousin's wedding which is on Sunday. Nothing like waiting until the last minute, right? I realize that I was procrastinating looking for one because I didn't think anything would look good. Not the right way to think about things at all. I was fully expecting to end up wearing some random garment out of my closet. Well, that is no longer the case. I randomly walked into White House, Black Market for the first time since visiting one in Florida early last year, and poof, there was my future dress on a hanger. It is black and white and red and flowery and just stunning. I think it's funny that this is what I'm wearing, considering Kathryn told me no black, white or red for her and Chris's wedding last November. But anyway, they had my size and I immediately went to the dressing room. It was perfect. They even gave me shoes to try on with it to complete the look. Et Voila, I now have an outfit for the wedding. Phew! Crisis averted and I feel so accomplished that I found something I really do love. Perserverance prevails!

It really shouldn't have taken me this long

So, for someone who wants to work, live, eat, and breathe media and television, you'd think having a blog would be a done deal. Well, I have finally decided to embrace the new technology at my fingertips and start one. Most posts will probably be about television, you know, because I watch a lot of it. But, as it goes on, I hope it develops into something more than that. Something that teaches me about myself. And you know, if it helps me get a job along the way, that would just be a bonus.

Stay tuned.

By the way, I'm entirely shocked that it's already September 2009. Time really does fly; when you're having fun and when you aren't.
