On-Demand

Okay, I admit I am slow to catch-on at times and this is one of them.

I have discovered On-Demand!

It is truly a great thing.  Only one problem... I have not gotten off the couch in the weeks since finding it!  I am now watching all the Dexter episodes, three or four an evening!  I've stopped exercising, blogging, and talking with my family (although my husband is sitting next to me on the couch watching On-Demand with me - so we grunt at each other and discuss things happening to the characters on the screen.)  It's weird.  When you watch so many episodes in a roll, these people start to invade your real life.  I swear, I hear the Dexter theme song in my head all day long.  This is not good!

Before I found On-Demand on the television, it was a theme in my profession - Information Technology.  On-Demand means technology bringing information to you - anytime, anywhere - to make things easier for the Knowledge Worker, to make them more productive, to make companies more efficient and effective.

So, after all these years of preaching the value-add of On-Demand in the workplace, my in-home On-Demand fiber network connectivity has made me a slacker!  All I want to do is watch Dexter 24x7, which I can easily do until I fall out in a comatose state in my living room.

In the end, I have come to the conclusion that On-Demand anything has to be used with a good dose of common sense.  Like everything else - too much of a good thing can become a bad thing.

As for Dexter, we are nearly caught-up and can start watching season 8 with the rest of y'all in real time - one week at a time, until the finale and the show finally ends.

Then, it's back to On-Demand to see what else we've been missing!  :)
