Sweet Dreams

Game 2 starts tonight at 7:00.

Problem? So do my usual Sunday shows: Charmed, Desperate Housewives, and Grey's Anatomy.

This normally wouldn't be a problem, because I would just do what I usually do when there's a game on the same night as one of my shows. I would go ahead and watch my shows (unless it's a sitcom, which usually shows a lot of repeats), flipping to the game during commericials and occasionally the show itself to check out the score.

However, this is the first time since I started watching during the NLDS that the game conflicts with not just one or even two, but three of my shows. If I decide to flip, I'm going to miss most of the game! Plus, this is the World Series; it's a very important game and I really do want to watch it.

So what should I do?

I guess maybe I could miss one of the shows and hope that I'll be able to catch a repeat later so that I'll get to see a little bit more of the game, but then I have to decide which one to skip. My least favorite out of the three is probably Charmed, but that also happens to be my mom's favorite and she'll probably want to watch it. Also, that means I would only get to see the beginning innings, which usually aren't the most exciting. Things usually don't get interesting until around the fifth inning.

Desperate Housewives? I don't really like missing that, because if you do, you might miss clues as to what happens later on in the season. I know I missed a couple last season and I already missed the season premiere due to Rita, so I don't want to repeat that mistake.

As for Grey's Anatomy, that's probably my best bet for the skipped show as it'll allow me to watch the later innings, but I don't know... It's really becoming one of my favorites. Besides, I think Derek is supposed to be choosing between Meredith and Addison tonight.

*sigh*

Must ponder this.

In other sports news, I just finished watching the ladies' short and long programs at Skate America. I remember seeing Alissa Cziesny, the silver medalist, skate last weekend at the Campbell's competition, but I didn't realize until today when she skated really well in the free skate that she's actually a very beautiful skater with top-notch spins and a gorgeous style. If she can keep her jumps consistent, she might give Kimmie Meissner a run for the third spot on the Olympic team.

Of course, that is if Michelle Kwan and Sasha Cohen are even healthy enough to compete by then. Both were scheduled to compete at Skate America, and both withdrew because of hip injuries. Not good.

Next weekend will be the pairs', but I really wish I had cable so I could watch the dance and men's competition over on ESPN. They talked a little about the men's short programs after the ladies' finished and it sounds like it's going to be an awesome competition. Not to mention, France's Brian Joubert is skating. *pouts* I wanna see it...
