I Want My L&O!

Oh, it started off to be grand day.

9:00 AM Channel 26 TNT Law & Order Double Down
10:00 AM Channel 26 TNT Law & Order We Like Mike
10:00 AM Channel 04 WGN Law & Order: Criminal Intent To the Bone
11:00 AM Channel 26 TNT Law & Order: Passion
11:00 AM Channel 04 WGN Law & Order: Criminal Intent The Good
12:00 PM Channel 04 WGN Law & Order: Criminal Intent Wasichu
1:00 PM Channel 04 WGN Law & Order: Criminal Intent Wrongful Life

Then it took a serious downward turn.

An eleven-hour drought.

This was serious.

My hands started shaking and my eye started some serious twitching. I developed a neck tic as well.

It was spooky.

I felt lost and confused. I felt I couldn't focus on any one task. My life felt empty, devoid of any purpose.

Not even Diet Dr. Pepper could console my unsettled psyche.

I paced the room.

I clicked the remote.

I clicked here.

I clicked there.

I clicked on all channels EVERYWHERE!

No relief in sight.

Silence enveloped me.

My mind came to a stand still.

I sat and waited.

Unwashed dishes remained in the sink. Laundry remained unwashed. Dust multiplied by the nanoseconds. Groceries were not purchased. A strange uninvestigated odor emanated from an unknown source. Books were left untouched and unopened on the bedside table.

Minutes dragged into hours.

And still I sat and waited.

Finally, with no options left, I decided to try and sleep off my anxiety.

Just once more?

One more click through?

Yes, one more try.

I had too.

I couldn't help myself.

Ahhhhhh!

12:00 AM Channel 28 USA Law & Order: Criminal Intent Lady's Man

Relief!

I could go to sleep now and sleep sweet judicious dreams.

*snore*







B.S. No Law&Order episodes were harmed during the production of this post. Please don't let this series EVER end. I don't know what would happen to my mental well-being if it did. I don't even want to think about it, the injustice of it all!

A day without Law & Order is like a day without sunshine. Thank goddess for cable.

Good god - thank you Lord, that Quirky survived this devastating ordeal! Such a close brush with the stark, dark, empty realms of eternal boredom ... so glad you made it, Quirkster!

I would miss all my A&E shows, like Hoarders and Intervention. Then there is Discovery Health where I watch what the hubs calls, "my cut em ups" I would curl into the fetal position with out those shows. Glad to see you made it.

No L&O on Saturday afternoon? Try college football. Works for me. ;)

@Catlady We all need law and order in our lives! Ha!

@Concerned Friend I'm sensing some...how shall I say it... sarcasm? HA!

@MeMe What do you think I click during the commercial break? I loves me some House Hunters! hee hee hee

@Ettarose I can't handle the operation shows on Disc Health (actually we don't have that channel, we've got basic cable). I'm wimp when it comes to gross. *smile*

@Noname College football? WHAT? Ugh. I'll forgive this comment because you are a cool dude. But please don't ever mention college football again on my blog! hee hee hee *smile*

I'm glad you survived the day. Hubby has watched the DIY channel all weekend. If I see one more tool or hear the host scream his lines one more time, I'm gonna.....

Tic. Tic.

Good thing you finally found some L & O. With those tics, it seems like you were either turning into your Zombie Queen personna or getting ready for an episode of "Intervention". Be careful so your brainz don't turn to mush. You know the zombiez can smell that! nomnomnomnom
