You Know You've Been Away for A While When...

... when you don't recognize any of the movies on the movie channels anymore.

Our cable company tries to entice us to pay for premium cable by "liberating" (allowing us peons to watch) the movie channels once in a while. The movie channels have been available all week, and I don't know what any of the movies are! I've been here so long that American movies have been advertised, have come out in theatres, and have been released to DVD and I wasn't there for any step.

I'd tell you what I've been seeing, but it's physically impossible for me to watch a movie at home all the way through. I get so darn distracted. Plus, all of the titles are translated into Portuguese, and they're always something different to make the premise of the movie a little clearer. For example, "Saw" is translated to "Deadly Games," because neither the past tense of "see" nor the tool would make much sense without extensive advertising. (I didn't watch the movies so I don't know what "Saw" actually refers to.)



I don't really know how I feel about all that.

I have gotten out of all of my morning classes (except Saturday, which doesn't really count). So I start work at 4pm 4 days a week, 2pm one day, and then the Saturday class, but it's totally laid-back and I can go home and take a nap at lunch time. Success!

Now I really have no excuse not to exercise in the mornings.

  1. I can ALWAYS find an excuss not to exersize. It is like an art form. My dinner last night was too big. I had too much to drink. I didn't sleep well. It's Thursday. The choices are endless.

    As for the movies. Dont feel bad. We haven't seen a grown up movie in years. If you want to know about Kung Fu Panda, Bolt, Hortan Hears a Who.....I'm your man. Or your girl. I live in a "G" rated world. But I like it here.

    But even if given the oportunity to see SAW I would NOT!!!!! Yikes.

    I love you. Happy to hear you have become a well paid slacker. hahahaha

    Have a great day.

  2. If it makes you feel any better, I live here in the United States and I still don't know what movies have come and gone. And people spout celebrity names like I'm supposed to know who they are, and they are foreign words to me.

    Your schedule sounds splendid. Congrats.

  3. I loved when the cable company did that - Net, right? The Cult channel was my special favorite. We switched to a different company because of internet issues and now its just one long day of Lost reruns...

    I ALWAYS have an excuse not to exercise in the mornings. Or afternoons. Or evenings...
