Tee Vee on teh interweb
I have done almost nothing for days but watch tv on the internet. My husband is out of town and I have the sniffles. I don’t really feel like doing anything else, and I’ve discovered hulu.com.
I watched all the “House” they have. That’s Hugh Laurie? Weird. I had no idea what that show was. Now I wish I could see the earlier ones for free on the internet.
I’ve seen all the Office episodes they have right now. I watched hours of clips from earlier seasons too. I’ve seen all the recent 30 Rocks.
Eventually I settled down to 13 season’s worth of South Park. I skipped over Mister Hankie, I can’t abide Mister Hankie. Back in the day, I forced myself to watch even the grossest fried rat episodes of Beavis and Butthead, but Mister Hankie just pisses me off. Anyway I’m up to the second season and all my internal dialogue is now in Cartman’s voice.
In other news… I’m pretty much over cancer treatment side effects. I no longer have “a wound” or “a burn”. I have… a very odd part of my body that is going to take some getting used to. I’m now the weirdest looking person I know. Also I have an occasional phantom boob. This usually happens when I come upon a mirror without thinking, and my eye seems to fill in “boob” and then it’s a shock to see no boob, just a smiley face scar, on that side.
Also I have phantom hair. I’ll swing my head and expect to feel the weight of it. This seems to be happening more now that I have *some* hair.
Also… I am “waking up” from just barely getting through life. I’m waking up to see that this place is a disaster. I’m not a good housekeeper when I’m well. Things like the kitchen sink and tub are sort of broken, and the yard is a maze of pits and weeds.
Sigh. I need a nap.
I like the term “phantom hair”. It sounds like an Emo band.
I’m sure you are not weird looking. You are just getting used to seeing yourself in a new way. I can’t imagine how difficult it must be to feel the missing parts.
Can you get your husband to help with the house, or hire someone to come help out? I hope you get some rest and feel better soon. South Park is good to get your mind off things, LOL. No Mr. Hankie for me either.
You MUST see the rest of HOUSE. Did you try FOX.COM? I got mine at a used book store that also sells DVD’s and CD’s. I had a salesperson call me when they came in.
So sorry about the Cancer. It is straight from the DEVIL himself!
The netflix player we have is letting us catch up on a lot of the seasons of stuff we never watched but turned out to enjoy. We are on Season 3 of the office and getting ready to start 30 Rock. I have been TiVo-ing episodes of Arrested Development and that is a really funny show.
Sometimes you just need to “veg” sometimes.
I didn’t have a mastectomy, just a lumpectomy, and it still hurts a lot of the time. I am so glad you’re feeling over the worst of it- I know how much it sucks! Glad you could get some time with the TV!
PS I still try and take my “hair” out of its habitual ponytail some nights when I am going to bed!
“All my internal dialogue is now in Cartman’s voice.” ROFL!!! I love the shows you’re watching, but no nothing of Mr. Hankie.
My step-sister was here all last week. She too had breast cancer and I got to hear all these funky terms and hear about women showing up in her office at the police department to offer to show her their breasts:) I love that!
I know just what you mean about not noticing things are falling apart and then suddenly they come into focus. God, that sucks so completely! Just keep looking at Hulu:)
