I had tried my best to resist it, but I finally let myself get pulled into the “Heroes” spell on NBC.
Bryan and I caught the first two or three episodes, and I was just unimpressed. It wasn’t smartly written, it was slow to move, and I just didn’t care. Obviously, I should’ve hung in there, because it proved me wrong on all counts shortly thereafter. We caught a mini-marathon one night and couldn’t turn the channel. Bryan, who consistently flips during commercials (resulting in many half-watched tv shows where we both forgot where we started), actually set down the remote. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it was that good.
So here’s what I’m wondering, and the answer may be in my hands: how long will it be until someone utilizes the “Heroes Defense” in court? I considered it last night: after running uphill for 1.5 miles, biking another mile, and 30 minutes of weight.. then cooking, doing dishes, and walking the dogs.. I passed out in my bed around 9 last night. I wasn’t dressed for bed, I wasn’t ready for bed, but my body told me to lay down. Where I dozed.
Friday, our way too friendly cat, wandered in and began to nuzzle my face. Repeatedly waking me up. And I considered tossing him across the room into a wall. I don’t know where that violence came from, but I had my defense all planned out when Bryan ran into the room:
It wasn’t me! It was the me in the mirror, I swear! It was like I was two different people, but the one in the mirror is way hotter and stronger! Ohmygod, why did she kill Friday?!
Y’all don’t steal that defense now. It’s mine.
What superhero power do you wish you had?
