I had big plans for last night.\u00a0 And by big plans, I mean that I had a heck of a lot of tv to watch.\u00a0 Oh, and I also had to pack and get ready for our trip seeing as I get home from work at 4:00 pm and our flight leaves at 6:15 pm.\u00a0 That doesn’t leave a lot of room for Friday afternoon preparations. But somehow, making sure I had time to watch my favoutire shows took priority.<\/p>\n

To explain…Thursday at our house is tv night.\u00a0 Well, for me anyway.\u00a0 No other night of the week has such a hold on me.\u00a0 In fact, I can’t name another night where I’d have more than one show on that would keep me in front of the tv for longer than an hour.\u00a0 But Thursdays are different.\u00a0 Long known as ‘Must-See-TV’ night from the early days of Friends and Seinfeld, the Thursday line-up has always been just that for me: must see.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, since every show battles for one of the\u00a0preferred spots, the networks find a way to schedule too many shows on that night.\u00a0 Last night, had I not decided to give up on Survivor (which is pretty lame anyway), and with the return of the O.C., I would have had 4 straight hours of tv.\u00a0 Which would normally not be the end of the world, except I was also supposed to be packing\u00a0and getting ready for our trip.\u00a0<\/p>\n

(Is it weird that I have a grown-up crush on Adam Brody?)<\/p>\n

I time shifted everything to be able to watch Grey’s Anatomy at 8:00, The O.C. at 9:00 and E.R. at 10:00.\u00a0 After Grey’s, and during the O.C., my intentions were to pack my bag, iron clothes and do as much prep as possible…<\/p>\n

But instead\u00a0I fell asleep.\u00a0 At around 9:20.\u00a0 With nothing packed.\u00a0 Nor ironed.\u00a0 Or even gathered in one spot for easy packing this morning.<\/p>\n

Procrastination:1, Shannen:0.\u00a0 Last-minute Friday preparations it is.<\/p>\n

But back to tv.\u00a0 Even though I\u00a0am one of those weirdos in their 30s who loves the O.C., I have to admit I was not impressed last night.\u00a0 The long awaited season premiere (or at least the first 20 minutes of it) was LAME.\u00a0 And that’s even with Marisa Cooper’s violent demise (which would normally be cause for celebration – she was a much better dead girl in the Sixth Sense<\/em> than a Newport socialite).<\/p>\n

Let’s recap:<\/p>\n

Ryan is now a cage fighter = Dumb<\/p>\n

Summer is now an environmental activist = Dumb<\/p>\n

Kaitlin being too cool for school = Dumb\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kaitlin being there at all = Dumb<\/p>\n

Summer’s new boyfriend is named Che = Dumb<\/p>\n

Summer choosing Che over Seth = Super dumb<\/p>\n

Seth = Still cute<\/p>\n

Will I watch again? Probably.\u00a0 But if the whole environmental activist\/cage-fighting theme does not go away quickly, I will find myself with a whole extra hour to fill on Thursdays.\u00a0 Hmmm…maybe that’s for the best.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
