In the time I was supposed to be in my office, writing up a post for today, I ended up sitting on the den couch watching TV. I don’t even remember the reason I turned on the TV. But once it was on, and I found Star Trek: The Next Generation on SyFy, I kind of got lost. Then during a commercial, I surfed around a bit and found Family Guy on another channel.

I flipped back and forth between the two, watching two episodes of STTNG and three episodes of FG, for two hours. Only when both channels had commercials on, did I think, Hey, I’m supposed to write a post for tomorrow.

But then the commercials would end and the shows would twiddle my geek or funny bone, and I’d immediately forget about writing. Well, I mean, it’s Star Trek and Family Guy — what can I do? They’re both in my top 5 favorite shows. The only combination that could equal them would be maybe Scrubs and Twilight Zone.

Only after both mini-marathons ended was I able to turn off the TV and go up to my office. And by then it was so late that I just needed to go to bed. Hey, it’s a school night. I can’t stay up to midnight.

So this is the best I can give you today. It sucks for your entertainment, but I went to bed with an entertained smile on my face.
