During the hate festival known as the RNC convention..

I have four movies, a few episodes of Ghost Adventures downloaded. Will probably be watching a lot of YouTube.

So what is everyone else planning on doing to avoid the four day nightmare?

Couple of movies, but do not plan on staying up that late. I get the clips early in the morning if I care to watch. My ebook and fresh supply of Library books is all ready!

season two coming. I wish they would bring back the original but this spin off was good.

Just recently I was cleaning my home office and found an old hard drive I haven't use in about six years. Over the years I collected all the Dr Who episodes from William Hartnell to Sylvester McCoy, 698 episodes. Can't believed they survived , but they did. Copied them over to a new drive and have watching them since. Almost up to Tom Baker.

I want to see this 80-car-pile-up in real time. It’s going to be so bad compared to our convention that I am actually looking forward to its immense comedic value.

I have a bunch taped and I have favorites too...you have to watch commercials but I just turn the sound off. I wouldn't watch the RNC shit show for anything.

... I highly recommend the new Perry Mason 2020 mini-series (8 one-hour episodes.) It's nothing like the old Perry Mason of the 60's and 70's but it's quite amazing and watchable. I've recently learned that the ratings are so good that they'll bring it back next year for Season 2.

I plan to catch up on movies myself this week.
