okay, i'll admit it: i'm a watcher. yes, i love myself a good movie. i tend to lean toward the dramas and independent films, and i'm always up for a sleeper that surprises me. imagine my shock when i went to my account page on the netflix website and found out i've rated over 928 films!! that means i've seen 928 films in my lifetime. but that's only a partial list; i'm sure i've seen more than that because some are not available on DVD yet. and what about the ones i've seen twice, or more [st. elmo's fire...remember that one? one of my guilty pleasure from the 80's].
928 films!! so if we do the math and say that all the films i've seen are an average of 2.25 hours long...that's 2.25 x 928 = 2320 hours. then divide 2320 by 24 [hours in a day] = 96.7 days of my life that i've devoted to film watching. that's over 3 months straight without bathroom breaks or sleep!

96.7 days out of my life, sitting in front of a television or movie screen [that doesn't even count for all the television i've watched!]
okay, um...there is still the truth of the matter that I AM STILL SITTING ON MY ASS.
note to self - compromise: listen to books on CD while exercising
or
get the treadmill out - put the t.v. in front of the treadmill with both the treadmill and t.v. on and me ON the treadmill... preferably moving...forward.
hmmmm...maybe i should read more books. i wish i had the time and the desire... well, i guess i'd have time if i didn't watch so much t.v., wouldn't i? [but there are some programs that are guilty pleasures: nbc's the biggest loser and law & order: criminal intent, hbo's the wire, in treatment, and real time with bill maher/ vh1's celebrity rehab/ bravo's project runway/ showtime's dexter, californication and weeds/ the learning channel's jon & kate plus eight and little people, big world/ fx's nip/tuck and rescue me , and cnn's anderson cooper 360...
and yes!...i thank the gods for Tivo and OnDemand or good luck trying to catch all of these programs in a week. yes - in a week, readers. hello!! there, i admit it! in one week! but i forgot to tell you - i fast forward through all commercials so i do save some time, people! yeah, think of all that time i save you "down with t.v." people! okay...chill, michael...
