Whenever the weekend is over I think of that whooshing sound my devices make for a sent e-mail. Days off do the same thing. Also days when I take breaks from writing. There has been a lot of whooshing going on in my life lately. I got to the place in Cin’s Feb Challenge where it said ‘indulge yourself’ and decided to take that one very seriously. Not like this is anything new, but sometimes I tend to go overboard.
I would love to say I’ve been doing things that are highly exceptional and utterly extraordinary and extremely creative and intensely fun and important enough to change the world. And I guess I did just say that, but it would follow that I then feel obligated to expound on the details and I can’t because it’s a big fat lie.
Here’s what actually happened. I spent my waking hours curled up on the end of the couch with my I-Pad drinking various things (mostly coffee, but last night wine) until the credits rolled on the last episode of Season Four of The Good Wife. Whoosh. Thank you Netflix. Now what am I supposed to do while I’m waiting for you to get Season Five?
Well, I immediately thought of something and watched Wuthering Heights from beginning to end, part one and part two. And finished the wine. Not sure I could have done it without the wine.
I’m certainly a little more leery now of these multi season shows and getting myself hooked on yet another television series because they seem to have a sort of paralyzing affect on me. Legal stuff and politics and investigations? Really?? I could have sworn these things didn’t interest me at all.
I though I was more of an Emily Bronte/Heathcliff skulking about on the moors kind of girl, but maybe not.
I love the book, but have never seen the movies. Something I may have to check out. 🙂

I believe it was heavily edited to fit everything in, especially in regards to the passage of time. Not an easy story to do without some creative modifications. But that always happens with movies.

I didn’t think those were my kind of things, either, yet here I am on season two of Life after plowing through 4.5 seasons of The Good Wife!

I wonder if it’s not so much what’s going on but more the characters themselves and how they interact that keeps mw watching. Maybe. Who knows. See how decisive that was? This is why I’m not a lawyer. 🙂

I feel that way — the interaction of great characters definitely draws me in. Felt that way about Breaking Bad. Not my usual area of interest, and yet…..it was very compelling.

I agree with you about series. The only answer is reruns. You already know how things will turn out and it takes the stress away. Dianne
PS with wine, you can pretend you don’t know how things will turn out.

I haven’t seen any Good Wife. Will have to check it out. I go through withdrawal after Homeland ends and until Downton Abbey begins– last week next week! Then what?

Know exactly what you mean. It’s the same with a really great book that leaves you sad because it ended.

I remember it, and ‘Heathcliff’, such a good name…
