Confession....I am a binge watcher...

Confession....I am a binge watcher...

Before the discovery of Netflix, the hubs and I would alternate between HGTV and Friends, depending on what time it was. Of course we had our once-a-week shows (TWD, SoA) that we would never miss, but we were never huge into following a series. All of that changed when we decided to sign up for Netflix. What started out as a free trial to catch up on Seasons 1 & 2 of TWD has turned into a nightly obsession. Seriously guys, it has become an all out binge fest at our crib. In the past 4 months we have blown through 4 seasons of TWD, 8 seasons of Dexter, 6 seasons of SoA and are halfway through our second season of American Horror Story. (#hashtagaddicted)

This brings me to my dilemma. There are only 2 seasons of American Horror Story on Netflix, which means we are about 3 days from running out of things to watch. Of course we could scroll endlessly through the ridiculous movies that no one has ever heard of (The Beast with a Million Eyes, The Incredible Two Headed Transplant....seriously Netflix?? ), but that has proven to be unsuccessful in the past. Soooo...to all of my fellow binge watchers---What the hell do we do now!?! We are in desperate need of a new show...and quick. People keep talking about OITNB & Game of Thrones, but I am on the fence about them. As evidenced by the last 4 series' that we have watched, there is not much that offends us. Blood, violence, nudity, zombies eating the faces off of unsuspecting humans. You name it we've seen it. Pleaseohpleaseohplease tell me what to watch next, otherwise my hubs will be stuck watching another "Open Water" type movie with me, and we know how much he hates that!

In return for all of your suggestions, I am going to share a quick synopsis of the 4 shows we have watched as of late. I don't want to give away too many spoilers so I will keep it short but ohmygod you have to watch these shows.

TWD (The Walking Dead)

(cred)

If I had to sum the show up in one line: A group of people living in a post-apocalyptic world, surrounded by zombies, struggle to make it from one day to the next. Seriously, I would make the worst movie critic ever. Throw in Darryl (a bow-and-arrow-welding fox of a man) Rick, (a police officer turned group leader) and Michonne (a bad ass broad with a sword) and you have yourself one of the best shows ever. Trust me, I have zero interest in zombies and was hooked by the 1st episode.

SoA (Sons of Anarchy)

(cred)

Let's see, one line to sum this one up: Can I just say Jax Teller? No, I guess not...How about this? An outlaw motorcycle gang (who also run a garage, by the way) living in a quiet little town attempt to protect their families, all while taking out the trash and keeping the peace with the cops. There is lots of death, even more sex, and did I mention Jax Teller? (which, let's face it, is the real reason why we sit down week after week, isn't it ladies?)

Dexter

(cred)

Quiet and mysterious, Dexter is a blood spatter analyst for the Miami Metro Police Department who moonlights as a serial killer. The only difference is that Dexter only kills murderers. Each season on Dexter features a new killer and a new set of problems, (will the PD find out who he really is? Will his sister Deb find out? How about Rita?) and I can promise that it will keep you on the edge of your seat for 8 seasons. And the ending was CRAZZZZYY. See, now you have to watch it to find out what happens!

American Horror Story

(cred)

We are only halfway into the 2nd season on this so I can't really give you too much info. What I can say is that this show is insane and freaky and completely different than anything I have ever watched before. Sure, it has the violence and sex (which apparently is a requirement for all shows that I watch?) but it also has a crazy story line that jumps from the past to the present. Each season is completely different than the last, introducing new characters and a whole new storyline. Not a bad show to pass the time until we find another one.

So there you have it, 4 shows that should keep you busy for the next few months. Now its your turn--what should we watch next?!?!

Ok so can we talk about how bummed I am that tomorrow is my 29th birthday?! 29 guys!!! That means that this is my last birthday EVER that will start with a 2...starting next year I will have a 3 in front of my age (barf)...But I have grown so accustomed to the 2 in the front--what am I going to do?? Getting old sucks.

Since I don't want to totally depress you today (I'll save that for tomorrow on my IG feed) I will instead steal Juliette's questions for today...mainly because I haven't written a post in way too long and 2nd because I love question posts.


1. What are you wearing? I am actually wearing the same outfit that I wore a few months ago when I took a pic of myself..and since I currently have period acne on my chin and my hair is gross and frizzy from the humidity, I'll share the old pic...there's a dress in there too, I just apparently chose not to take a picture of it...  

2. Ever been in love? Yes. I won't get all mushy and tell you how much I love my hubs, but seriously guys...he is the best..like kick-you-in-the-crotch-spit-on-your-neck-fantastically the best.   3. Ever had a terrible breakup? I'm sure they were terrible at the time, but looking back now there was nothing traumatic or unusual about them.  They needed to be gone from my life, and so they were..easy peasy.   4.

Currently just a few holes in my ears..over the years I had my nose, tongue and belly button, but one by one they disappeared.   8. OTP (one true pair, favorite fictional couple)? OMG it is a huge toss up between Noah and Allie, Edward & Bella, Monica & Chandler or Gerry & Holly...way too many to choose from

Someone who can make me laugh, loves country music and can protect me from anything...also someone who will hold my hair while I'm a puking mess..thanks babe <3   16. Favorite quote? "I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, am out of control and at times hard to handle.

How long does it take you to shower? Usually like 10 or 15 minutes...I am a huge water hog   22. How long does it take you to get ready in the morning? Thirty-five minutes from the time I open my eyes to the time I am in my car. (Yet somehow it takes me an hour and half to get ready on the weekend...)   23. Ever been in a physical fight? No...unless you count when I was like 9 and I beat up a little girl who was like 6 for calling my mom a bitch...don't mess with a gal's momma   24. Turn on? When my hubs sings to me   25. Turn off? When people whistle   26. The reason I started blogging? I was already blog stalking like 10 blogs and I figured why not join in! Also, my mom said that I have a ton of interesting crap to write about so I should start one..   27. Fears? The dark, dying, losing someone I love, strangers, heights, enclosed spaces   28. Last thing that made you cry? Last night we were watching SOA and *someone's* funeral was going on...and *someone* put a picture inside *someone else's* cut....and I can't say anymore because my sister hasn't seen that part yet and she will KILL me if I spoil it for her...but MAN that was a rough episode

  29. Last time you said you loved someone? This morning when I hung up the phone with my hubs.   30. Meaning behind the name of your blog? Because my last name is Keen (duh) and it kind of sounds like "Keeping up with the Kardashians," except without all of the ugly crying faces and money floating around.   31. Last book you read? It's been wayyyyyyy too long since I've read a book, but I think it was when I re-read the Twilight Series a few months back   32. The book you're currently reading?

Italian every day  

    37. Place you want to visit? Ireland first and then Greece...I guess I wouldn't turn down Italy and Scotland along the way   38. Last place you were? Aside from my desk?

Last time you kissed someone? This morning before the hubs left for work...half asleep morning breath kisses are great   41. Last time you were insulted? I feel like the hubs said something mildly insulting last night..for the life of me I can't remember what it was, so clearly it wasn't anything too important   42. Favorite flavor of sweet? Caramel is up there on my list...pretty close is watermelon anything and nerds...and then of course dr. pepper   43. What instruments do you play? I play a mean set of drums on rock band   44. Favorite piece of jewelry? My wedding ring. It is just a plain white gold band but it means more to me than any other piece of jewelry, and it is the only one I never ever ever take off.   45. Last sport you played? Ummmm, I think basketball in the driveway a few days ago   46. Last song you sang? "If I ever leave this world Alive" by Flogging Molly. The song is fantastic and if you haven't heard it you need to listen right away..I've even nicely included it for you below...

  47. Favorite chat up line? Ok so I didn't know what this meant so I googled it....((Chat-Up Line: A pick-up line or chat-up line is a conversation opener with the intent of engaging an unfamiliar person for romance or dating. Overt and sometimes humorous displays of romantic interest, pick-up lines advertise the wit of their speakers to their target listeners. They are most commonly used by men who pick up women.))    ....My actual answer is that I hate pick up lines and they are cheesy...get over yourself and just say hello you toolbag   48. Have you ever used it? Never   49. Last time you hung out with anyone? Last night I hung out with my sister, brother in law and the kiddos...we chalked int he driveway, took Casper for a walk and went out for some Mexican   50. Who should answer these questions next? Ummm.....anyone who reads this today... Sooooo tomorrow is the big 29..you probably won't see me around these parts since I'll be under my blanket pretending to be 28.
