Sweet Nothings

I talked about TV yesterday and it gave me (read: almost relates to) an idea for today's topic-- Internet time wasters. More specifically TVtropes. I find that TVtropes and Wikipedia are dangerous places for me, since I can sink hours into them. Although all things considered I could be doing worse since I learn a lot of neat factoids form doing this. The problem for me is that I start harmlessly on one page and end up jumping and opening up a bazillion tabs different tabs (which makes me seriously glad I'm using Chrome). For example I currently have 20 tabs open.

Unrealated, I this is at least the 6th time this months I've blogged while in front of the TV.

TeeVee

I feel like I'm running out of things to talk about this month and I'm not even halfway through Blogust. Such is life and blogging I suppose.

Well then, TV. Yes, TV-- television. As part of my 20 Before 20 I intend to finish the seasons of Battlestar Galactica and Babylon 5 (since, I've never met Sci Fi I haven't liked). Anyway, this summer the shows I've been watching "live" are Psych, Warehouse 13, White Collar, and Burn Notice. As I write this I'm watching Psych, which led to this post. Mostly I feel because they have a "Spot the Pineapple" challenge in each episode where you watch for a hidden pineapple in the background of the episode. Which is a tricky way to get you to pay attention to the episode, which for me is interesting because I tend to do other things while watching TV (like Blogging, for example).

Also, I may have already missed the pineapple.
