If Media Controlled My Life…Wait, Maybe It Does

Hi there!  I use this space to talk about fitness, healthy living and much more but I don’t often talk about sitting around doing nothing.  I mean, who wants to read about that!?  But the truth is, I do spend at least some of my time sitting around doing a whole bunch of nothing.  And by nothing, I mean watching TV or movies or reading because let’s be honest, actually doing nothing is really boring. 

Real Housewives.  Need I say more?

Ok, so as you may or may not know, fall TV is starting up TONIGHT!  Holy cow, yes!  Here are a few that I’m really excited for:

(Sources- Abc.com and CBS.com)

1.)    Grey’s Anatomy

2.)    Scandal!

3.)    Parenthood

4.)    Parks and Rec

5.)    The Good Wife

6.)    Revenge (hoping Season 3 is as good as Season 1 and we can just not talk about Season 2)

7.)    Thinking of maybe trying Betrayal?

Now, it’s YOUR Turn!  What’s your favorite fall TV show?  Or what are you most excited for?

Of course fall tv doesn’t include some of my favorite series!  Here’s a few that I can marathon through no problem:

1.)    Breaking Bad- NO spoilers!  I did not see this past Sunday’s episode (not allowed to watch when Hubs is not here) but two weeks ago was EPIC!

2.)    Homeland- Just downloaded Season 2 on iTunes because we don’t get Showtime.  Am already half way through.

3.)    Downton Abbey

4.)    Mad Men

5.)    The Bridge- This one is new and my mom got the Hubs and I hooked. 

Your TURN again.  What are your favorite TV series?

Of course the disappointing thing about TV shows is that you constantly have to wait until the next episode for a resolution…Will Olivia and Fitz ever really be together?  Is Matthew Crowley still alive?  Will anyone ever find Dr. Weber in the basement?  Will Walt ever be caught!?  These burning questions take weeks, months, even years to answer!  So, sometimes it’s nice to sit down and have everything presented to you and wrapped up in one two hour time block.  I’m talking movies here people!  A few that I’ve seen recently:

1.)    The Great Gatsby- Perfectly timed for my 20s themed party!  I loved this and the soundtrack is great.

So I was going to make this whole list and then I realized that I’ve seen basically nothing in the past few months that I really enjoyed.  How depressing is that?  I am really excited to see some movies yet to be released On Demand:

1.)    Despicable Me Too

2.)    Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2- This is only just coming to theaters but I read about it over on Nellie’s blog and it sounds really good.

3.)    The Butler

Hmmm, I guess Hollywood is really taking some time off this year, no?

What movies have you seen recently that you enjoyed?  What are you looking forward to seeing soon?
