I had a hair appointment today and my hairdresser was running a few minutes late with the person before me, so I sat and waited for a few minutes. Since I don't do waiting very well, I pulled out my Blackberry and checked out CNN because... I don't really wait. Anyway, I discovered the most disturbing tidbit of information! Apparently the Screen Actor's Guild may be going on strike. Imagine a world with no new episodes of your favorite TV show (maybe even new movies) for months on end. It would be like... last year. I cannot handle two years in a row of indefinite hiatus's of my shows, especially not now. I am rarely anywhere besides work or home. I make my one trip a week to the grocery store, I get my hair done every five weeks and once a month or so I may hit up Target/Kohl's/the mall. My life revolves around Netflix and TV! And I'm not even being dramatic. I have no idea how much time I spend strategizing my queue at Netflix and figuring out which DVD's I want next, factoring in when they will be received (I go for movies during the week and TV shows on DVD for the weekends) and what is on TV the night I get them. Pathetic? Maybe... but I'm a lot happier than when I used to spend time and money (not to mention energy) going out to eat, the movies, clubs, etc...
This strike could endanger my couch potato existance! What am I going to do? Become an avid exerciser? Start gardening? Nature photography?
Please, anyone reading this that might have any influence, please do not let them strike. Or if they have to, can they do it during the time they'd normally be on hiatus anyway?
