Too much television

So since finishing my last assignment for university around a month ago, I have been ever so lazy.
I have been working a fair bit also as it is almost Christmas and Christmas is hell in retail. But other than working, I have been doing a whole lot of nothing.

My days off work are a consistent routine of sleeping in as long as I can.
Having a cup of tea.
Harassing my dog for a while.
Wasting a significant amount on Facebook.
Having another cup of tea.
Looking through all the blogs I have bookmarked.
Having lunch.
Annoying my dog some more.
More tea, then finally settling down for the rest of the day watching shows on my laptop.

I have been pretty impressed with all the new shows released in the U.S this season.
I made a deal with my co-worker that we wouldn't watch any of season 5 Gossip Girl until it was released on DVD so I needed something to tide me over for an uncomfortable 6 months wait,

Anyway, the shows that I have been religiously watching every week are:

The New Girl:
I do have a bit of a girl crush on Zooey. She is like a painting, just perfect and in this she is odd which I can relate too as I am sure some people think I am crazy. I love the relationships she is forming with her new housemates. I would love to live with boys like that!

2 Broke Girls:
I wouldn't put this show up with my favourites e.g. 30 Rock, Community, Arrested Development. But I do enjoy this show.

Up All Night:
I really like Christina Applegate. I remember watching 'Don't tell Mom the babysitter's dead' when I was like 10 and I always thought she was awesome. So her and Wil Arnett together is a major success! Although it was hard to get used to Wil as anyone other than Gob!

Hart of Dixie:
Now I am a sucker for a small town Southern drama/comedy. It has the same appeal as Gilmore Girls, and I like Rachel Bilson as she is a fellow browned eyes brunette. Also I ain't gonna to lie. I have a little crush on Wade Kinsellas, there is just something about his Southern charm.

Suburgatory:
I don't mind this show either, as it does real well at making fun of an exaggerated suburban lifestyle which we all know is both accurate in some aspects but ridiculous in others. Plus it is Elton from Clueless. He is a little bit cute for an older man. What is he? Like 40?

And lastly today I started watching 'The Secret Circle'. I feel like I have progressed from high school based TV shows, being a haggard 23 almost 24 year old. Well other than Glee, but I thought I would give it a look after reading about it in the TV guide. So far it is not bad. Reminds me of a book I read in Primary school about some girls who discovered they were witches.

Since I fly off to Africa in 2 weeks to volunteer I wont be able to watch for a while. But I am sure I will have a lot of resting and recovering to do when I return and I will be able to catch up.
I don't know how some people say they don't watch TV. There really is no better way to relax, then to have a cuppa and watch 30 Rock.
