Every Saturday, I eagerly anticipate the new episode of Doctor Who. I triple check my DVR to make sure that the recording is set properly and that nobody has cancelled it to record a football game instead. And then I wait. And wait. And wait some more. The day seems to drag along while I wait for the episode to start.
There's just one problem: I live in the United States. Normally, I'm more than happy with that. But not on Saturdays. On Saturdays, I'm stuck waiting an extra six hours or so for the new episode. I hide from Twitter and my RSS feeds in an attempt to avoid spoilers and also to protect myself from copious amounts of jealousy directed at those people who are lucky enough to be able to watch the new show sooner than I can.
I'm sure I could find some sort of live streaming site to watch the show sooner, but I've never been a fan of watching pixelated, jumpy feeds where the audio never quite syncs up with the video. Especially for shows that I love. So I'll just wait. I've still got five and a half hours left until the show starts here in the Eastern Time Zone. In the meantime, I guess I'll watch some college football and read a book or two and hope that nobody kicks me off of the tv when the time comes. And yes, I'll try to fight down my jealousy. See you on the other side, Twitterverse.
