Don't be (too) ashamed. What's the slop you're getting into this week? Games, movies, tv shows, etc.

I'll go first I suppose. I'm watching Burn Notice. I'm on season 3 episode 3. Some of the dialogue is so painful I'm embarrassed to watch it but then I power thru it and finally get to a high quality action scene. Former spy works w former girlfriend, his mom, and a fair weather friend to solve some problems in sunny Florida. It's completely believable and socially redeeming.

So let's hear it.

My partner has an extremely stressful job dealing with extraordinarily dysfunctional people and their problems (which my partner is also responsible for resolving). When my partner has a particularly stressful day at work, the only thing that can make them feel better is non-dairy ice cream and reality tv. Tonight we ate mint chocolate chip and watched the 90 Day the Other Way Reunion. It was glorious, filthy slop. 10/10. Would recommend.

honestly, sometimes some garbage television does a body good. Its a good way to be beside yourself a while, and focus on something other than your harrowing day.

90 Day the Other Way is top tier slop and I miss having someone to watch it with. It's no fun alone but I used to watch it with an old roommate before she moved away.
