Tonight's open thread has a theme. It's a recurring theme, the kind of thing we do on Tuesdays. I ask "What have you been watching?" Here, I'll start.
This weekend, I went on something of an '80s tear, watching The Terminator, Back to the Future and numerous episodes of Cheers. Most were streamed through Netflix, most were half-watched as I worked on other things on my iMac. Then I got caught up in Wikipedia, Rottentomatoes and IMDB, fully wasting much of my off-time. Gotta make sure that doesn't happen again this weekend...
Anyway! So, what are you watching? If you're not a fan of movies, television, plays or drying paint, here are some other things to talk about.
