WORD FOR THE DAY: “POWER-WATCHING” — by Steve Nadis
It’s all about the power: Once there were power lunches. Then there were power ties. Now, if you believe the Boston Globe, it’s “power-watching,” as in yesterday’s front-page story: “Power-watching TV takes edge off strike.” The article explained how one woman dealt with the disappointment over not being able to see new epsodes of “How I Met Your Mother” (due to the writer’s strike) by “power-watching” the first two seasons of “Lost” in 14 days.
I always thought TV-viewing was supposed to be a passive exercise: You sit there like a lump and take it in. But I guess I’m old-fashioned, once again. It’s become the latest extreme sport and to do it correctly one must apply power.

Not sure what the Hell that above post means…
Actually, I “power-watched” season 3 of “24″ in two days… although I called it “being addicted to Jack Bauer”. I think The Boston Globe might have had some boys in the editing dept come up with something a bit better than that… I might say that I “crushed” a disk of “The Shield” or I “blew through” last season of “Deadwood”… but I don’t think I’ve “power-watched”… dunno, maybe someone’s got something better.
I’m not sure what the hell it means either. So I guess you could say that makes two of us.
Do you know that the evangelical followed me home, and now my blog as words from the Book of John. I’m going to talk to my priest about this foolishness.
