Killing Time
At the end of busy workdays in India, I am forced to retire to my not-that-quiet dorm room. Yes, you heard that right. I get to live in a dorm. With girls who are roughly 10 years younger than I am. It's all fun and games until they start squealing down the halls at 1AM. Then I kill them put my headphones in and pretend that I can't hear them.
Since I often lack internet, electricity, running water and other basic necessities with which to entertain myself, I bring several seasons of TV shows on DVD to keep me busy. So far, I've watched season 1 of Dollhouse, season 1 of MASH (no comments from the peanut gallery), season 4 of Psych, and season 4 of Fringe. I've still got season 1 of Revenge to watch (I haven't seen it, so no spoilers) and a season of The Big Bang Theory that is being hauled over here for me by another American next week.
Currently, I am watching Due South. I'd never heard of or seen this before, but I saw a special on Amazon to get the whole series (3 or 4 seasons, depending if you get the Canadian or American version) for $20. I figured it couldn't hurt. Plus, that's 60 some 45 minute episodes. It kills a lot of time.
It took me a while to get in to the show, but now I am kind of loving it. I love Benton Fraser the Mountie so much. Why are there not more Mounties on TV? Or in romance books? I know the show is basically making fun of the differences between Americans and Canadians, but he is so sweet and nice. What I really want is for him to get a love interest.
It's also renewing my faith in mankind a bit, which, to be honest, has been a bit shaken this past couple weeks.
I only have one more question. What were people in the 90s thinking when they got dressed in the morning?
