I try never to watch new shows - especially the shows that are really popular. Lost? I have no intention of ever watching it. Why? Because I know I would like it and I don't have time for it. The last thing I need to do is add another hour of TV to my week. And it's not like you can just watch one episode. It's all or nothing, baby.
One show I particularly try to avoid is American Idol. It is on more often than the Olympics. It's ALWAYS on. So, I try not to watch it because I like it. And I'll want to watch it more. And it is always available to watch. Maybe in a few more weeks, once it's really narrowed down, I'll get into it with reckless abandon - which is a term that Randy used to describe the performance of one of the contestants last night. (Not that I was watching. One of my housemates was watching it in the other room and I was listening to it. Really.) The term Randy should have used was "train wreck". Horrible. Too bad I don't even know the contestant's name. Hopefully, he won't be around in a few weeks if I start watching.
One more thing: downloading shows from iTunes is a bad habit. BAD. I'll try not to keep doing it. But The Office is so funny and the constant Olympic activity means no NBC, which means no The Office, which means I have to either download episodes off iTunes or get my uncomfortable sarcasm elsewhere. What would you do?

4 commas in one sentence...not too shabby.
