Sometimes it’s completely justifiable to drink wine straight from the bottle and spend the day on the couch hiding under a pile of cats. Maybe even necessary. Doctors really should prescribe things like that. Of course, issues might arise if you don’t have a cat, but you could always just borrow your neighbor’s. Forget what the Bible said – get over there and covet your neighbor’s pussy. Guaranteed to make everyone involved feel better. Just what the doctor ordered.
This weekend has been dubbed sit-on-your-ass-and-do-nothing in my house. After a stressful week of news and various appointments, we think we are owed a relaxing weekend. Plus, I’m an adult. I can do whatever the hell I want, right? Cinnamon rolls for breakfast? Yes, please. A full pint of Ben & Jerry’s for lunch? Don’t mind if I do. Laying on the couch and catching up on 8 hours of recorded TV? Well, if you insist. You’re so kind. This is what successful adulting is all about, folks. Screw everything else.
I’m in the market for some new TV shows to get addicted to. I normally stick to the same ones, but I’m trying to expand my horizons. Anything on Netflix y’all recommend? Hulu? Regular TV? I like anything as long as it goes well with wine.
PS – Does anyone else get seriously bothered by the whole ‘Netflix & chill” saying? I don’t like being interrupted. I take that shit seriously. If I was single and someone invited me over with that prompt, I’d be pissed as hell when they whipped out their pants troll. Put that shit away. ALADDIN IS ON. What in the actual fuck?
I hope y’all have a relaxing weekend.
The Shameful Sheep 
Sounds like a good weekend to me. Of course kids always get in the way of that but I try to indulge them on plenty of chocolate cake for breakfast and stuff like that.
I only watch regular old TV and occasionally some cable.I love Impractical Jokers (cable) and also The Goldbergs, The Middle, Fresh Off The Boat and Moms.
I watch most of those actually. I LOVE The Middle. I’m actually watching a rerun right now ha! Mom is one I need to watch more of 🙂 Chocolate cake for breakfast…. lucky kids! Damn
Yep, brownies today!!
Luckyyyy
Mom and impractical jokers are hilarious!
Yes, for sure!
“Mozart in the Jungle” if you have Amazon Prime. $99/year. Love that show – there’s two seasons of it right now. “Lucifer” on regular TV is very good, but only a couple of episodes in. Love “The Blacklist,” and it is on Netflix I believe. Cheers!
I do have Prime 🙂 I’ll have to check it out. The Blacklist is one of my favorite shows. The most recent one is impatiently waiting on the DVR 🙂
You start watching “Mozart in the Jungle” and you might binge watch both seasons 😉 The episodes are less than 45 minutes. I’ll be curious to know if you like it!
I’ll let you know when I start it 😀
You weekend sounds a lot like what I have planned for mine. Netflix recommendations (i.e. what I’m currently watching: Walking Dead, Person of Interest, Highway thru Hell (a tow truck reality show)
Ohh, I need to watch more PoI. I watched the first season then got distracted 🙂 That’s a good revival to get into. Thanks!
You’re welcome; I started watching PoI a few weeks ago because I like Michael Emerson and have been hooked.
He’s the guy from Lost right? That’s why I watched season 1 🙂 I think he’s amazing.
Yes, he played Ben Linus – and I started watching PoI for the same reason.
I think I might have used up all of my “do nothing” weekends while my wife was busy enough at work to not care. She is done with her audit now, so I think I will have to get off the couch now. Also, I have to work on Sunday. You should feel sorry for me.
Shows on Netflix – Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Master of None, iZombie, Flash
I DO feel bad for you lol. Sunday? Blech. That sucks. I haven’t seen any of those shows, I’ll definitely look into them 🙂 Thanks!
Izombie is really adorable. How to get away with murder and madam secretary are very good. Scandal is a good
Ohh, I’ve been meaning to watch HTGAWM for away. I keep forgetting. Definitely have to hunt that one down
I now have cable again…don’t have to worry about cable anymore! Thanks for the recommendations!
Nice! 🙂
I mean worry about *data* ha ha.
Hilarious. On Netflix, I love Better Call Saul, Master of None, Breaking Bad, Bob’s Burgers, House of Cards, and Jessica Jones.
Good recommendations 🙂 The only two I’ve seen are Breaking Bad and Bob’s Burgers. I’ve been meaning to check out House of Cards for awhile but keep forgetting!
Walking Dead, Jericho (one season and got cancelled but they wrapped it up), Veronica Mars, Last Ship, Falling Skies (apocalypse and science fiction tend to be my favorites), we are re-watching all of MASH and Xena right now (MASH at bedtime, Xena in the morning before dragging our butts out of bed), Chopped, Top Chef, Master Chef (we love competitive cooking shows), agreed about Blacklist, Episodes (laugh until you cry funny), 30 Rock, Manhattan. That should get you going.
That’s quite a list lol. Thanks! I love that you mentioned Veronica Mars. I have a weird obsession with that show. I pray someday they will bring it back.
My daughter saw the recent movie and LOVED it. I have yet to see it.
It’s good ! Make sure you do lol
Ha! I also do not like getting interrupted! Try Jessica Jones!
I will take a look! Thanks 🙂
oh hell yeah, next week house of cards is back and we’ll be turning our phones OFF, yo.
Damn.. it’s that good? I’ll have to try it soon.
SciFi fan? I loved Farscape (4 seasons)
BBC humor? Doc Martin is great (7 seasons)
Oh, I love BBC humor haha. The Brits just get me. I’ll have to try it out. I love when shows have a LOT of seasons. That way, when I’m addicted to it… at least it lasts for a long time.
and i had never heard of ‘netflix & chill’ term until some show recently talked about it as what the kids these days are saying (we just used to call it getting laid in my day).
Right? It’s so dumb
Hey Blair, sounds like my kind of weekend. I’m doing the same! Here in Melbourne its getting onto 10 in the morning and I’m still in bed. And tonight is movie and pizza night Time out this weekend! Let’s enjoy.
Awesome! Bed at 10 am. Sounds perfect
Battlestar Galactica, Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy, Firefly… aaah there are too many good series to recommend but that’s a start!
Thanks 🙂 my husband has been wanting to start SOA for awhile now
It is one of the most amazing series ever imo, sends you on an emotional rollercoaster ride. Enjoy!
I can not pass up a chance to recommend “Bluestone 42” to anyone!!! All the episodes are on youtube and it’s a British comedy. But from what I have read on your blog, I feel like you are the right kind of crazy to really love this show!!
Enjoy your well deserved weekend!! That seems to be my weekend plans every weekend lately. But today I’ve venturing out in search of an English speaking manicurist to fix my ugly nails lol
The right kind of crazy lol. I like the sound of that. Good luck on your hunt 🙂
Since you like weird, you might try Bates Motel. It’s A&E, but you can find it on Netflix.
I’ve watched them all. The weirdness is right up my alley lol
Let me just say, for the record, all of you who have cats, I covet your pussy. All the time. When I’m awake. When I’m asleep. When I’m in between. I miss pussy on my chest, pussy on my shoulders, pussy kneading my body, pussy conversing with me in soft, rolling rumbles of pleasure.
Aw. That’s semi disturbing and semi sweet haha. Now I want to go cuddle some pussy
Damn you to hell for reminding me about cinnamon rolls. Of COURSE they are breakfast food! Not that I’ve had one in 11 years. Dammit, Ireland.
I need a lie-in as well. I’m thinking a long hot bath, it’s been too long. And if the cats wake me up early tomorrow? They may not like my reaction.
No cinnamon rolls in Ireland? Blasphemy ! Lol
The only series I recommend is actually in AMC and/or Netflix for the first season if you didn’t catch it, and that is Better Call Saul, a spinoff from Breaking Bad, an excellent series. I’m sure you’ve heard or read enough rave reviews. If you don’t feel like watching five seasons’ worth of Breaking Bad, then try Better Call Saul. Good writing, interesting, and fun characters. Also, the main character works at Cinnabon, so is that an omen, or what?
Seriously? Cinnabon? I thought he was a lawyer. Now I feel like I have to watch it! Coincidences
If you don’t plan on watching Breaking Bad, I suggest you watch the last episode of the last season or read the last two episodes so you will know how Saul works at Cinnabon. I don’t want to say too much because I might spoil it for you.
Good to know! I will hunt them down on Netflix
I’d like to rent the pile of cats. Tell them I have tuna. And an electric blanket.
Check out Dirty Jobs With Mike Rowe on You Tube. I always seem to watch five more episodes than I intended to. Might be the voice. And the chest.
I will! Thanks. They really should have a cat renting company. Solid business idea. I’d rent some and I already have two.
There’s a cat lounge here in Portland. Yes, you read that right.
You can grab a coffee or glass of wine at the bar and then go into a lounge area full of playing, exploring, and napping cats that are available for adoption. I’ve sewn and donated multiple toys, beds, and cushions for them.
The only downside is that the cats are usually over-stimulated from all the people around and they hide a lot. You can’t reenact the Pile-o-Cats scenario there. In four visits, I’ve only been able to hold one cat. So, I stopped going. But it’s probably an introvert’s dream.
http://purringtonscatlounge.com/home/category/at-purringtons/
That looks awesome. I hope one of those opens near me lol. I could see the cats getting overwhelmed after awhile though. It’s not like a cat to want to socialize all day. Still fun though 🙂
Laughing in a restaurant again! Funny looks abound! Stupid truck driver!
Haha 😀
Blair, enjoy crashing beneath the felines. The best thing about being an adult is eating leftover dinner for breakfast. Mac and cheese, great. Lasagna, even better. Throw cheese in last night’s rice, beautiful. I hope you find your new show to binge on. Don’t forget to move every couple of hours. Keith
Thank you 🙂 I loooove leftovers. Especially Chinese food. Mmm
Oh yes. Chinese food leftovers are excellent. Also, my daughter loves Olive Garden take out and we will eat their leftovers for days.
I don’t blame her! They are good. I could live on their breadsticks alone lol
Firefly! Grimm! I’m enjoying Lucifer–they’re able to walk that fine line between Lucifer as a total egomaniacal ass and an oddly charming ass.
Have you checked out Justified? I like that better than SOA. (not to mention Timothy Olyphant). Deadwood is good as well (and not just because of Tim O), if you can stomach the near constant swearing.
I watched Deadwood when it was on. I loved it. I love “time era” type shows. If that makes sense? Ha. I haven’t watched Justified, I’ll have to hunt for it on Netflix. Firefly I watched too. Can’t believe they cancelled it! Ugh
Check out Serenity the Firefly movie
I don’t know what kind of tv you are into but I CAN NOT get enough Jessica Jones on Netflix! Fuller House debuted today too on Netflix…just gonna leave that there for now…
Haha I’m definitely watching Fuller House today. That actually #1 on my list. JJ is on there too. Multiple people have mentioned that to me. I have a feeling y’all are onto something 🙂 I like all TV. Seriously
I’m guessing you’ve watched the doc series on Netflix, Making. A Murder?
I have. Recently, actually. It made me feel some sorta way and I’m still following his current lawyer’s updates on Twitter ha. What did you think? Did you get consumed by the show like I did?
As you might imagine there were a lot of different feelings during the documentary. Some things just don’t add up, some make me shake my head and some make me scream WTF just happened. I agree with what one of his lawyers said at the end. I hope he did it because if he didn’t, the fact that this guy has spent another ten years in jail for a crime he didn’t commit would be too difficult to understand or accept.
I agree. I felt bad the entire time because I felt like they were being picked on (Steven and Brendan) because they were, well… slow. It was painful to watch. I hope he did it too. The whole thing was beyond weird. I hope one day we find out the truth
I agree with your take on Netflix & Chill.
How about House of Cards? OMG so good!
I needed this week to be like yours, but I didn’t know, so I peopled and adulted and lifed and it was awful.
It’s always awful, right? Damnit life! House of Cards is high on my list! It has a lot of actors I love. Not sure why it has taken me so long to watch
Just powered though the first few seasons of House of Cards..all ready for the season 4 premier in about about a week. Hope your weekend of doing nothing is everything you hope it can be (yay Office Space!).
Thanks! I think we are starting HoC today. Everyone seems to love it. Not sure why we are so damn slow to watch it lol.
Seriously Jessica Jones! And for a slightly naughty period piece: Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries! Trust me, it’s great
Oh, I love period pieces. Bonus points if they’re naughty 🙂 I’ve never even heard of J J. But, everyone here suggesting can’t be wrong! Is it something my husband would like too?
Yes, definitely! It’s Marvel comics gone dark and dangerous!
Nice! I’ll definitely check it out
Our favorites on Hulu include Fresh Off The Boat (We have asian friends who swear by its scary accuracy) and The Middle. I’m going through Law and Order SVU at the moment. Oh HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER is AAMAZING (and I don’t know why I yelled that, sorry 😛 )
That’s hilarious… I love Fresh Off The Boat and my husband and I have been watching it since it started. I always thought it was over exaggerated though haha. I love that your friends said it was pretty accurate. HTGAWM is the type of show I love. I gotta hunt that one down!
Pants troll Bwahahahaaahhha 😁 first time I heard that lol. Have you seen the Scandi Noir dramas coming out of Scandinavia? Borgen, The Bridge, Trapped. Also Danish period drama 1864, Les Revenants – a French zombie series with a twist, Deutschland 83 from Germany and Hinterland from Wales.
Wow, nice. Those are definitely ones I’ve never heard of before haha. I’ll have to see if I can hunt them down. 😀 Thanks for the different suggestions. Period pieces are my favorite
I suffer miserable agony with true love! My cat demands gluttony (One of your 7 deadlies…). I must be constanly vigulant he doesn’t start gnawing on my leg while I sleep! Seen any good movies lately? Any new Vampire flicks? I’ll take mosquitoes… Anything that sucks blood… I’m trying to watch that movie ‘Focus’ but Pay-Per-view doesn’t like me 😦
I haven’t seen any good movies lately. Only Deadpool lol. And I really only liked it for its vulgarity 😀 I’m more of a TV fan than movie. I like wasting hours of my life on something, so movies are usually too short for my liking haha
I have been on a total teenfest watching Pretty Little Liars, completely unrealistic but strangely compelling. Loved Making a Murderer too. Netflix and Chill yep I would be gutted if that’s what someone really meant…
I love both of those shows. PLL is so far fetched/drawn out but I’ve been watching it since it started and can’t stop. Yep… I’m 29 but still love it. I even make my husband watch it with me every Tuesday. (He kind of likes it too ha!)
God, how I wish I’d written this. And I can’t even hate you for it, because I’m laughing too hard.
😀
I really liked Dexter, watched most of the seasons. My family wouldn’t watch it with it, probably because it’s not a family show. I had a terrible crush on the whack job pyro girlfriend that he had for a while on the show. That kept me interested. The show has a sick yet stable twist to it.
The only thing about binge watching with a cat is that a cat gets jealous after a while, does everything he can to steal your attention. Mine starts by travelling across my chest, stopping with his cat butt in my face each time. Usually he settles in on my lap or curls up on the cushion next to my head.
I’ve seen all of Dexter 🙂 Great show. Aw, your cats seem like good ones to have around to make a Pile O’ Cats
Only one cat, but he just about equates to a pile. Chester is an orange and white with tons of personality.
We are a one of each couple — two kids, one of each and two animals, cat and dog.
Oops! One of each is really all you need after all lol
OMG! DEXTER! My favorite Netflix show of all time. Yeah, hear ya on the cat jealousy front. I liked the intro music so much to Dexter I thought about changing my ringtone to it … but alas, just to cheap to spend the money!
But THE ENDING!! It sucked. Yes, you agree?
Agreed on the ending. Dexter was a creepy conundrum.
Try Rifftrax on Hulu
Thanks! I’ll check it out 🙂
Not only is your first sentence a great quote in MY opinion, I shared it with my husband, who was standing in his underwear taking his first sip of coffee of the day, and he just…nodded…repeatedly…which was the best reaction ever, but maybe you had to be there. 🙂
Haha thank you. It was funny in my imagination. Maybe y’all should be do that this weekend too 🙂
I’m looking forward to a four day weekend! Part of it will be doing nothing, but instead of cats I have three dogs. And two teenagers. And a husband. Sometimes they all try to get into the bed with me to watch TV. Maybe I should trade them in for some cats. Right now I’m hooked on Nurse Jackie. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a great show.
I gotta say, all of that in a bed at once sounds pretty fun. Some good family bonding right there 🙂 Nurse Jackie is pretty good! I only saw the first season though
It’s fun if you’re not the one falling off the bed. Lol
Applied cats liberally and watched 3 back to back DVRed episodes of American Horror Story’s latest season. I knew I shouldn’t but they were giving good back stories! Had some fucked up dreams Friday night. 😦
Haha uh oh. That show freaks me the hell out. I couldn’t get past season one. I don’t think I’d ever be able to sleep at night if I kept going consistently
I couldn’t tolerate the asylum season. Too many gross outs. But this season works for me.
I’m so out of the loop that I hadn’t ever even heard of “Netflix and chill” until a month or so ago
Same actually. We are getting old 😀
I want to know what “I want to have sex,” means in modern society now, since apparently we’re too fucked up to actually come out and say what we want. I’m of the same mindset. If I went over somewhere and “Netflix and chill” turned into sexy time I would call them out on false advertising. “Dude, that is not what was agreed to.”
100% agree. Netflix and chill ACTUALLY sounds like a fun time. The bait and switch would piss me off. Not cool, man. Not cool.
Ugh, I wish Aladdin was on Canadian Netflix.
I’m actually not sure if it’s on here. But I watched it recently so it was the first thing that came to mind when I was writing. Disney likes to hold out on us when it comes to sharing their movies on streaming. Assholes
Yeah what’s up with that?!
They are greedy bastards
I’ve just downloaded the complete series of Fantasy Island so shall be thumping into that at some point….!
Nice. Haven’t heard of that before. I’ll have to get some Googling done here 🙂
I have also just down loaded Shades of Blue which is supposed to be amazing….
So happy to read your blog…. Very funny, and you certainly capture my feelings/frustrations/joys in many of your posts. Maybe we will share same tastes in TV. Current addiction – Catastrophe. Enjoyed Master of None. Leftovers is my favorite. And I do confess, even seasons later, I can’t tear my eyes away from The Walking Dead.
Thank you 🙂 I haven’t heard of any of those shows but The Walking Dead. Obsesssseedd lol
I’m having this kind of weekend! Only I feel guilty about it for some reason. I need to learn to relax.
It’s hard not to feel guilty when there’s always something that needs to be done lol. Sucks!
Second chance is good,slightly funny cop show. Lucifer if another cop show but fun and then if you haven’t u must watch Luther . Enjoy the couch surfing 🙂
Luther and Lucifer. Got it :D. At first I thought they were the same thing lol

Sorry, not so many recommendations on the streaming side … I do have a lot more there too.
Have fun! 🙂
I only have streaming now! I didn’t think the mail part existed anymore lol. I’m slacking. I haven’t seen any of your streaming recommendations! I’ll have to look. Thanks for such a big list 😀
Oh, oh, oh, I forgot to recommend BLACKFISH! You HAVE to see this film if you have not. S.E.R.I.O.U.S.L.Y.!!!!
Cannot believe you haven’t seen ANY of those recommendations. MIND BLOWN. Anyway, I hope you find time to watch some (thinks ALL) and that you enjoy them. I gave you the ones I liked the best and of course, I don’t know you in person … so could just be a crap shoot.
You can also put the names to http://www.rottentomatoes.com to see how THEY have reviewed the movies. I usually queue my movies from best to worst, in case I die then at least I will have watch the top ones on my list first. I’m not planning on dying anytime soon … it’s just a joke. 😉
Oh, I’ve seen a bunch of the things you recommended by mail, just not the 3 top ones you said about streaming haha. I don’t live under a rock! Well, I kinda do. But not when it comes to TV/movies :DI haven’t seen Blackfish though. I’m on it!
Oh my Blackfish … a real eye opener.
Thanks for giving me this idea for a wonderful weekend except that I’m very allergic to cats. I think I’m being punished because kittens are my weakness of anything in this world!
Oh damn. That’s terrible. Maybe you need a Pile O’ Pups instead? Lol
Nothing wrong with wine or cats. I usually match my wine count with the number of cats I own which is 3. Whether it’s glasses or bottles depends on how good/bad my week was.
I love Vikings. It’s on Hulu.
I like that idea. I only have 2 so I have to go with bottles. 2 glasses is never enough 🙂
