Persistence or stubborness?

So as you may know already I've been watching episodes of "Remington Steele" (Pierce Brosnan back then sooooo does it for me)-what I haven't mentioned is that I'm approaching it with the same attitude as I did with "Bones" (though this time I am sparing you commentary). I started from the beginning and am going to keep going until the end. However, this series will be a bit more tricky to watch until the end because I have to figure out where I'm going to get the 4th season and subsequent finale movies from -for free (I'm so spoiled now. Who needs Netflix when you've got the internet and a good computer?) So I'll check my usual sources like the library and see if I don't get lucky. I'll even try graboid -what the heck, I've already paid for the cheapest membership ($4.99) and am not really using it much since most of my other shows can be found at hulu and surf the channel (the best places for free stuff I've found so far.)

Well, yeah! Just thought I'd check the graboid site and they have the 4th season. Cool. So I'll be able to at least watch most of it. I will eventually have to get my hands on the finale movies because that, from what I've read, is the climax, literally. After 4 seasons of will-they-or-won't-they (but with kissing, LOTS of kissing) we're supposed to finally see them consummating their relationship (well, I don't think we actually see that but we're led to believe it happens.)


(I think I like the song that accompanies this more than the clips! I'll have to see if I have this on my ipod or hello limewire)

I'm like a dog with a bone when it comes to watching series. I like to see it from the beginning and then see it through to the bitter/sad/satisfying/unsatisfying/bewildering/bad/great ending. If I don't see the beginning, I just can't watch. It's like starting a book in the middle. I need the history! Even if we're plopped down in the middle of the characters lives.

Ah, TV. A potent drug.

I hope I have the patience for this one...I'm nearing the end of season 2 and I'm thinking to myself -yikes -2 more seasons of this? All kissing and no sex? (Let's just get down to it already!)

But I've started it and I've invested a lot of hours of watching it so far and I can't just quit now.

I am the sort of person that likes to finish what I start. It almost physically pains me when I don't.

Now if only I was this stubbornly motivated about other areas in my life 'eh? Imagine what I could accomplish.

Oooh, speaking of that. Was over at limewire looking for stuff and came across excepts from some Tony Robbins material and one title starts with "Eliminating Self-Sabotage..."

Ever since I saw him in "Shallow Hal" (we won't get into my commentary on that movie right now and believe me, as a "full-figured" woman, I've got things to say about that movie, but we'll just save that for some other time) I've thought, OK, maybe I'll listen to what he has to say but never got around to it until now (I know, I know, years and years later since the movie came out in 2001) Anyhoo. I'll give that a listen one of these days and have it give me, hopefully, a different way to think about that topic. New insight that just might lead to action.

I did listen to a bit on "Five Steps to Positive Thinking" and it made sense. I guess I was afraid he was some brainwashing/programming scam artist but I don't think that now. It's 4am and while I have energy to type all this, I don't want to get into the 5 steps right this minute (ah, yes, more procrastination) ....I'll listen again later and then give you the highlights.

Oh, an idea! Maybe listening to his stuff will put me sleep instead of the classical music I've resorted to for the past week or so. (No offense to classical music but it sure does the trick, thank god. I went through a bad bout of insomnia there for a bit...well, worse than usual) and then maybe if there is good stuff, it'll sink into my subconscious while I sleep and I'll be a whole new motivated person when I wake up! :)

Crikey. I really should just stop this here for now, do a little proofreading and then put myself to bed. So OK. (And I thought I didn't have really anything to say tonight!) :)
