Getting my geek on.

28 Comments

 

While I’m not a huge television person, I do tend to leave the husband to his own devices at night ( and by this I mean John Wayne and MSNBC, not self gratification )  and curl up in bed with a remote of my own on occasion.

More often than not? I’ll be watching some dry as toast documentary that no one else finds the least bit appealing.

Case in point?

Yeah…. I loved it.

And if you’re wondering why the husband and I have to watch separate tv’s?

I once made him watch a 4 part series about Kublai and Genghis Khan called  “Mongol Horde… Storm From The East”.  He fell asleep 10 minutes into every episode and still never forgave me.

On my current DVR list?

 

 

Forbidden History is my jam.

Juicy secrets from the past….. what’s not to love?

I just discovered Unearthed.

And have been walking through the Valley of the Kings, marveling over ancient Thebes and reading hieroglyphs from the Temple of Karnak …. in my pajamas.

You can’t beat that with a stick.

I also record PBS’s Nature.

  4. I’m not big on TV either. However if I watch it has to be a mystery/police procedural or a comedy or something from England. Husband prefers action movies that put me to sleep in about 10 minutes. Multiple television sets allow us to be happily married.

      1. The account I heard was that a faction of Christians, let by St. Cyril, burned it in a riot against learning, thinking for yourself and all those other dangerous behaviors. Hyapatia, the head librarian (?) was dragged into the street, brutally raped and skinned alive. Praise the Lord.

    1. Yes! I like Mysteries at the Museum as well.
      Though the husband will argue the dry documentary statement. After the Mongols? I made him watch The Search for the Trojan War…. all 6 parts.
      😉

  13. I’m a big history fan too. When I’m painting miniatures or something else that requires my visual attention, I listen to podcasts like Mike Duncan’s “History of Rome” on YouTube. Also, if it happened in ancient Mesopotamia, I want to know about it. Especially if it speculates about space beings souping up the local troglodytes so they can build things out of bricks; not altogether implausible.
