My Real Life

You may remember that a few days ago, I asked for recommendations for television shows that you think I should watch as I recover from my sinus surgery next week.

I also posted the question on Facebook and wound up with 32 responses.  I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many responses on Facebook.  Who knew so many of us were loving tv shows?

So, I took the feedback from Facebook and the blog and have made my decision.

First of all, Criminal Minds came up a few times, and let me say that I already watch it and love it.

My friend Ashley recommended Lost and said I need to give it a try, so I am reassuring her that I’ve watched all the seasons and although this season is giving me a headache, I’m still in the game.

I watch Leverage on and off and have enjoyed it, but I think I’ve seen enough to not need to order the entire season.

The shows I’ve gone ahead and listed in my Netflix queue, and are set to arrive tomorrow, are: Battlestar Galactica, Burn Notice,  and Firefly. 

Battlestar Galactica: I’m a sucker for SciFi and have pretty much never met a Sci Fi movie or show that I haven’t loved.  So, I’m willing to give this a shot.

Burn Notice:  I’ve seen a few episodes of this show and love it.  I’m a big fan of Bruce Campbell, who used to be on Xena: Warrior Princess, one of my all-time favorite shows.  Say what you want.  I’m not ashamed.

Firefly:  See the explanation for Battlestar Galactica.

If I’m still down for the count and have made my way through all of these, I’m going for Chuck and Arrested Development next, to bring a little levity to the table. 

All of this being said, what I’m really hoping is that my nose doesn’t hurt too much to rest my glasses on so that I can read.  I can listen to the tv without my glasses, but reading doesn’t quite happen without them.  Unless, of course, I get some books on CD. 

But that would be a whole different post.
