This is quite possibly the saddest, shortest list I've ever had since I've started doing this - and it's two months' worth!  Part of it is that I've been writing a lot more lately, but a lot of my TV consumption, which has always been the biggest part, hasn't been stuff that I'd keep track of here.  I watched quite a few of the 9/11 docs, then watched all the JonBenét specials (and reading about both of those on the internet has cut into my reading books time, too).  However, by far the biggest drain on my time is all the time I've spent lately watching and reading political bullshit.  I've never really followed the elections all that closely before, but I've just been captivated this year.  I read a comment somewhere comparing it to the ancient Romans and their love of gladiator matches; we're all just waiting for more and more blood.

Ugh, I KNOW. I feel like I could've gotten so many more productive things done in the last three months if this election weren't what it is. Come on, November 9th!

Ha, Stranger Things, B99, and Bob's Burgers. Pretty much exactly what I've been watching. They complement each other well. And Galavant, which I enjoyed quite a bit.

OMG, this election. My trainer suggested I give up alcohol and severely restrict carbs for 30 days (I have) to see if it would jump-start my weight loss (it did), but yesterday was day 28, and I caved and had a big ol' glass of red wine during the debate, because WTF even is this election.

*waving*
I am stuck in only old media land right now so rewatches and catchups are the order of the day.
How are things non media? As for the election I am still awaiting my absentee ballot to see whether I get to partipate at all
