Riding Foxy, Charlie and Roofus while Eric and Sue are away at Burghley
Eating Annies mac and cheese from my wonderful package from my mom (thanks mom!)
Watching Burghley for free (visit the chronicle website to sign up)
Doing lots of laundry
Picking berries and making the first Blackberry Raspberry pie of the season. Can't wait to eat it.
Watching Waverly Road -a drama about a private high school... called a public school in Britain strangely.
Ruminating upon old age, as I've just finished Love in the Time of Cholera
Not Writing papers or reading long novels or deciphering philosophical texts. Entirely school-less
Thoughts about my life, specifically an hour each day of my life monday through friday including commercial breaks :
I've always thought about bad tv in terms of people needing a distraction from "real life," enjoying the absurd and sordid, coating their brain cells in refuse etc. But I've also noticed that I look forward to Britain's Best Dish (certainly not bad tv but not really life changing either) in part because it gives me a nice nightly routine, specific and timely plans in the chaos of the postmodern world, an hour of peace amidst the rapid passing minutes, food for thought etc.
