I’m within an hour of the end of two days off. Yesterday I got a fair bit of work done on my manuscript – almost fifteen pages edited, which for me is flying through. I managed to take the evening off from everything and just watch an episode of “Breaking Bad.” I’ve only watched two so far – still wondering what all the hype’s about.
Then today I was woken up early with a phone call – Chris was sick at school and they couldn’t reach his dad. So I texted my ex, got up, delivered the papers, had a piece of toast and lay on the couch … and proceeded to sleep most of the day away. No editing accomplished.
How are chickens like days off?
Don’t count them before they’re hatched.
I need a week off.

I’m still waiting for The Man From U.N.C.L.E. to come to Netflix before I Break Bad.
You probably REALLY needed the sleep.

I did really need the sleep. Probably more than to edit.

Life’s like that sometimes, random and thwarting of our priorities…
When I read the title of your post Linda, I thought for a moment it was about hens!
BTW I thought I was the only one not into Breaking Bad’. Only watched one episode and felt it didn’t meet the hype at all (yet I liked Homeland, Game of Thrones, Season 1 of Dexter…I’m no wuss!?)

I LOVED Dexter!! I’ve watched the entire thing – it was great! I’m going to give Breaking Bad another chance though. The second episode was better than the first.
Yep, life can be pretty unpredictable at times, and yet I knew I was behind on my sleep. There just aren’t enough hours in two days!

I also loved watching Dexter. Currently I am trying to find time to watch Treme. If you love jazz and NOLA it is a must. The Wire was outstanding. I watched all of it, but it may not be everyone’s cup of tea. Homeland, Breaking Bad, I truly enjoyed as well. Game of Thrones, could not embrace it. Guess I got caught up in a TV vortex after all my time in Iraq and Afghanistan and not watching any at all. Go figure.

I barely watch any TV – in fact Dexter is the only thing I’ve watched (except now Breaking Bad on Netflix so I can go at it at my own pace) in about 4 years.
I hadn’t heard of Treme before now. I’ve been to NOLA once and I did love it there – I’ll look up the show. Thanks for the recommendation, Lance. 🙂

It is a wonderful show; no real violence, unlike The Wire, which I love to. But after watching all of that one, I was exhausted. Treme is a refreshing change. It is all about the music, which I love.

Linda, you will love it. I have already screened two seasons for you and found nothing displeasing.
Please do check it out when you have time. I would love to read your blog take on it, if, that is, you do TV show reviews based upon some schmuck follower of your who recommends them.
(That was a joke, btw)
Seriously, I am typing faster than my brain can keep up.
Check it out and be not swerved by my opinion, as I know you will not.
Cheers,
Lance

I’ve never tried doing a tv show review, but I would like to start doing book reviews. I’ll take your suggestion into consideration though. 🙂
Now go catch up with your brain. I think I saw it running up the street!

Why chickens are like days off, is much the same as why they crossed the road in the first place… So they could come first before the egg 😀 Oh dear! I’ve just scrapped the bottom of the barrel.

15 pages is great! That’s about what I accomplish and I just sit at home scratching my gut while playing video games. 😉 As for the second day, those are good too. For your question, though, this isn’t what I had in mind. I was thinking there’s always a “roaster” (since the other word is immensely uncouth) messing things up.
