Nice to See StevieB: Down Time
This
week I’ve had the opportunity to enjoy four days away from work and
adult responsibility. The only schedule I had to keep was going to the
gym and remembering when Adventure Time was scheduled on Cartoon
Network.
Yesterday
a friend came over in the morning for an “all day” season/series 7
Doctor Who marathon. He only lasted 7 episodes before his brain (and
writer hatred) started to boil. Leaving me to finish the remaining 7
episodes with just me, nachos, and the Shar-pei. Let’s just say that the
dog doesn’t care for Steven Moffatt.
With all this down time I’ve also taken to become a stalker to a fictitious television character on Twitter.
The
1” square photo on Twitter indicates that he is a slim, trim British
lad of proper breeding. As I have a massive thing for slim and trim
British lads, I quickly became a stalker fan. The
gentleman being complete fictional, truly had no barring on the level of
my desire. Apparently. I started to follow the tweets of this British
lad (or whom ever tweets as this trim, educated specimen) I soon found
myself in the embarrassing situation with a crush on Sheridan Bucket.
The proper, well bred son of Hyacinth and Richard Bucket. Yes, that Mrs.
Bucket. From the five year, 1990’s British television program, Keeping
up Appearances.
Yes,
I know it would never work between us. Me being a forty year old male
of dubious background, mostly comprised of flesh and bone. Sheridan,
only existing on Twitter, and my mind, is most likely being a sixty year
old married woman living in Bedford. I believe
I might need to seek treatment for my anglophilia.
Maybe all this down time isn’t such a good thing. Structure
is what I apparently what I need.
