I don’t understand the concept of streaming apparently. I think of streaming of something that you can watch simultaneously as you’re connected to an off-site server. It does not involve buffering and waiting and buffering and waiting. I don’t know where the problem is when it comes to streaming on my computer, but on sites like Hulu and Comedy Central and others I have to buffer and it’s choppy, and it doesn’t stream. It doesn’t flow like a river or a stream. My video trickles. This happens all the time with Netflix shows too.
It’s good news that “The Vampire Diaries” was awarded the best new drama program People’s Choice award. What this means is that it won’t vanish right away. Some shows vanish, like “The Beautiful Life” that vanished after two episodes. Two. And the CW in all their infinite wisdom elected to leave pure unadulterated crap like “Melrose Place” on the air. True, I have a “I Watch Melrose Place” t-shirt that the CW gave me, but it was free. I should put an X through the I watch part to say I don’t watch.
I did watch “Dirty Dancing” today. It had been years since I’d seen it, and what a joy it was to see Patrick Swayze, young, happy, healthy, dancing. It’s sweet. It’s romantic. “No one puts baby in a corner.” – great line.
Ellen was wearing a white long sleeved shirt and a black vest with jeans today. She makes me giddy, watching her dance on her show, like a silly 50 year old woman. Right. I know. She’s with Portia.
We went to the laundromat today, a necessary evil. It was cold cold cold. People walking up and down Central were bundled up. A mother at the laundromat was letting her child play with a toy car on the floor. I wouldn’t let a child play with a car on a laundromat floor.
I went to the Post Office to mail a package and when I got there, I was first in line, but, I had to fill out a customs ticket. While I was filling it out, someone came in to talk to the person behind the counter, the one person, and the next thing I knew there were 10 people in line.
I didn’t remember that John Lithgow was in “Footloose”! I think it’s time to revisit.
On “Family Guy” they made an obscure reference to the episode of “Star Trek Next Generation” when Picard learned how to play the flute in an alternate universe, where he had a family. I loved that episode. It made me cry every time. “Family Guy” is disturbing in almost every way, and I used to hate it, but now I love it, and the bit with Dwayne Johnson doing his interpretation of Lois and Peter making love? Priceless.
