Wednesday, January 7th
The group binge went remarcably well. THe Galactica mini series was interesting and well made. But when I went to watch the show on my own, it was not on netflix and all the streaming sites were constantly buffering. It has now been two hours and i am still on the first 45 minute episode because of the poor Wifi that covers guilford campus. It is starting to get very frustrating because it is a very interesting show with a fast plot and the buffer is just ruining everything.
7:35: It has been 5 hours and I made it through an Episode and a half. I am still looking for solutions, but as of now, my brain feels like puddy, I am exhausted, kinda hungry and very very done. Five hours of sitting, watching battlestar, and fighting a buffer is much more draining than I thought. My legs feel a bit like jelly and the combination of foods I have eaten today are making me hate myself. I have eaten twice the number of calories in half the time than I am used to and that was a really really bad idea. apparently I do not realize how much I am eating when watching TV shows. But, other than that, today was pretty good. Got to wake up later than usual, watched the Mini Series with a really great group of people and made some new friends by doing so. I might stay up later to see if I can’t gather some better emotional data, but I think what I’ve got is pretty good. When I took a short break for dinner, my perception of this reality was very different and I had trouble remembering that this show is not real.
8:35: I have been directed to a source that works, finally and am now on episode 4. I will be filling out the surveys for the second time today once I am done with episode 6. So far, in the story-line, I can pretty much predict where this plot line will go, but it was still written in a way that makes it interesting despite that. I am still pretty hungry though, but have pretty much run out of food. My thought patterns have already started taking on the narrative style of the show and I am sure that shows in my writing. This is what happens when I watch militant shows. joy.
11:02: I finished episode 6 and my brain is slushy and i am even more tired than I was earlier. But I have observed that I have adapted more of the attitudes of this show and am behaving different because of it. I have adapted a more professional, serious demeanor to match the feel of the show and it is honestly really really weird. I am looking forward to see if this trend continues with the other binges. on the 2nd literacy survey that I took today, I had to insert an approximate time of how long I had been binging due to technological issues that I had had during the day. Signing out for the day.
