Hobbies

So... If you know me even remotely well, you'll know I LOVE to watch TV.  I'm a sitcom junkie.  As soon as I get off work, I go home and turn on the TV.  

A couple days ago, David told me that I needed a hobby to relieve stress.  I stared at him like he had five or six heads and said, "Um... I have one.  Watching TV."  Then he proceeded to give me some nonsense about how watching TV is not a hobby.  I said, "Yeah, and watching TV and playing video games is WAY different.  YOU need a hobby."  I more than likely stuck my tongue out at him.  Somehow, however, he still thinks that his situation is more hobby-full.

So, here's my thing.  What's not hobbytastic about TV watching?  I enjoy doing it.  Usually with a bott -- GLASS of wine.  I get to some fictional people and I laugh most of the time.  I get up long enough to make sure David still knows I love him - sometimes.  I cook him dinner every night...  I have WRITTEN about TV several times.  Therefore, I say it's a hobby. 

And you know what?  I'm sure I've learned from it.  As someone who has directed several plays, I'm sure I had to have inadvertently utilized my knowledge of sitcoms/TV shows to ensure that my people looked like ought to.  Who knows how, I'm just sure of it.

OH!  And David tried to get me to start playing the piano again, 'cause apparently that's a good hobby.  I can't figure out why sitting alone in a room playing stupid songs to myself is any better than being not locked in a room laughing at stupid people on the idiot box.... 

That's my whole rant or whatever on hobbies.
