You Know You are Addicted When…
Shelly and I have become entrenched in the TV show Grey’s Anatomy and recently watched all 27 episodes of Season 2 over the course of one weekend. Contrary to what you might be thinking right now, yes, we do have a life. I’ll call it good parenting, because all Zach said that weekend was “watch the doctor show, pwease….”
So we obliged.
Now, here’s where our behavior has started to become borderline addiction. By the way, Urban Dictionary defines this term in a way that captures truth.
addiction: to physically or mentally need something
So a few days ago I found out that ABC is going to be repeating the first 10 episodes of Season 3 over the course of the next few months. But that mentally “needing” something took over, and we decided we couldn’t wait.
Let me introduce to you my new best friend, Limewire.
But don’t tell anyone, because my mother is a copyright consultant, has written a book on copyright, started a copyright consulting company, and would totally kick my ass if she knew I was downloading free episodes of Grey’s Anatomy.
My defense would be that I wasn’t planning on paying for it anywhere else, that it is free to watch on television, and that I wasn’t taking any money away from ABC. But the cost of my ignorance might come when I have to replace my computer because I’m sure some pimple-faced teenage hacker across the pond probably injected it with some sort of worm virus.
Anyway, before I ramble on and on, I’ll confess that we have watched the first six episodes of Season 3, and have four more to go. Not sure what we’ll do for the next few months until the show resumes. Probably watch all 46 episodes that we have previously seen to make sure we didn’t miss anything.
I am a Grey’s Anatomy McJunkie. Seriously, seriously.
