Supersized TV

For the month of July, my girlfriend is back in WI visiting friends and family, living it up on a hard-earned vacation. That has left me 'bachin' it, trying to entertain myself. Work, work, and little-to-no play makes cBenigni desperate for things to do with myself.
Fortunately, the internet is full of free options! One of which is hulu.com. It's packed full of TV Shows and movies that could eat up months of my life, kind of like TiVo but online and they decide the content. I just need to kill my evenings for the next couple of weeks before I have company once again.
Last night, I ended up watching Super Size Me b/c somebody told me that I was the last person on earth that hadn't seen it. Typical. Behind the times again, but I make up for it in other ways. Right? The movie is interesting; notably biased, but still full of valuable stuff. I was surprised by footage of a gastric bypass surgery and there was actually a commercial for Chili's Bar & Grill. Too funny! Check it out for free if you haven't seen it yet!
When I was working in the field, visiting customers in their homes, I would stop by a fast food joint at least twice a week for a snack. On top of that, I had a slight addiction to Snickers and Mountain Dew. Throughout that year-and-a-half out in the field, I gained over 10 pounds. That's nothing compared to what the guy in Super Size Me did to himself. Luckily, the effects are reversible and I'm back to where I started!
I'm hungry.

We've been tapping into the Hulu of late because we opted not to activate the cable at our new place. Kenneth's having a big "Benson" phase. Really, it's a René Auberjonois phase (we're also watching "Deep Space Nine" Season 2 on DVD). I'm enjoying it. Especially the unexpected 26 y/o Jerry Seinfeld appearances on "Benson."
That's Great! I watched a LOT of Deep Space Nine when it was running... I might have to revisit them one of these days to better appreciate Odo. (I had to look that one up) Not as familiar with Benson.
