New Years Marathons
So for those of us who don't go "Out" for holidays and prefer sitting on
our asses, the extended TV theme Marathon is something of a tradition. Besides obvious choices
like watching all the Star Wars movies, what sorts of marathon
tv endurance tests are people planning? Buffy, Angel, Twin Peaks,
Iron Chef? What are you
gonna do?
971 songs loaded in the iPod, iPod plugged into the stereo, iPod set to 'random' play.
Hot tub is hot, crank up the volume, break out the booze, unwrap the fireworks. 15 or so good friends show up & suddenly it's a party!
Yahoo has good TV listings. Amazing what they will marathon on New Years' Day:
ESPN: World's Strongest Man competition
TLC: Seeing is Believing
Comedy Channel: Whose Line Is It, Anyway?
A&E: Magnum PI until 8 p.m., then Law & Order until 4 a.m.
Animal Channel: The Crocodile Hunter (starting at 5 p.m.)
Sci-Fi Channel: The Twilight Zone
History Channel: History's Lost & Found
Since my ex has our son this New Years', and my other of unknown significance left town yesterday, I'll be at home on my a** looking for a good TV marathon.
Alias would be a good one (since I missed most of the episodes), and so would Trading Spaces. I've already had Buffy DVD marathon, so no luck there. Failing these, I'll probably be continuing on the kitchen work that I've been procrastinating on -- touching-up, sanding, and priming drywall, then painting. Whoop-de-doo!
UKTV in Australia are running a marathon of Red Dwarf. I imagine all the Foxtel-equipped geeks would be watching that.
... I'm having a sleep marathon.
