I reached well over 1,000 episodes watched last year, I can't imagine what number I will reach this year with all the TV on DVD I received for Christmas :P Trust me, you don't realize how much TV you're watching until it's in a glaring list in front of you. I actually couldn't believe how much I watched last year LOL I didn't know whether to be ashamed or proud :P
Right now I'm watching a bit more than usual because I've become obsessed with Grand Designs, but I do watch a lot of TV. Just Jon and Stephen is eight episodes a week.
I didn't know whether to be ashamed or proud :P Haha, yeah, I know what you mean.
Well, that I'm not going to come close to! I've only worked two full days this year so far, so I might slow down, but yesterday I worked almost until midnight (though the evening was mostly about emailing and waiting for emails) and I still managed to watch about six episodes. And I don't even dare imagine what will happen if I find a new fandom!
That's pretty much what happened - I got into 30 Rock - and sitcoms are EASY to watch a ton of. And I have a few more shows planned! Tho hopefully I'll have a new job soon.
I downloaded about fifteen new seasons between Christmas and New Years (not even exaggerating because I grabbed all ten seasons of Stargate SG-1) and I've only managed to watch Grand Designs so far.
I feel the same way about LJ fic! I've been going back and trying to backup old bookmarks with delicious (while saving them elsewhere also), and a lot of my VM favorites are unfortunately already gone. I was very bummed to find one of my all-time favorite VM ones was gone, actually. I hate it when that happens!
I believe it was one of my favorite Lilly fics, "we remember our bedrooms". Whatever it was, it was one that had stuck in my head enough that I had a "NO!" moment when I realized it was gone.
Well, I guess I just have to bow down to the master and call it a day. Is that your regular speed or did you have days off and free time that you usually don't? Because at that rate, you'd watch 4000 episodes in a year. (HOLY. CRAP.)
Oh, I'm still not working. I stopped working a few years ago when my health took a nosedive, and am just now back to speed after recovering from the surgery to fix it!
Honestly, I wasn't even able to watch this much for a while - too many drugs in my system, too much ouch before they fixed me up, and just an awful lot of sleeping during recovery :D
This won't continue if I manage to get myself back into the workforce. But dang, could I have PICKED a worse time to re-enter? I have awesome timing - worst recession in decades! *grin*
I am VERY VERY LUCKY. Scott's job allows me to not HAVE to work. But I want to start again.
One thing I'm doing now is working to get my skills back up to par - learning more coding, studying languages to have more marketable things to put on the resume, etc. And in between, I watch tv. *grin*
Oh right. You know, I don't think I've ever seen you mention specifically that you were home, so I just wasn't sure. But still, 12 episodes a day seems like A LOT to me.
Though I think it's because I've never really counted how much I watch before, because I've been maintaining about six episodes a day with absolutely no problems. So maybe this exercise will pull the wool from my eyes, especially about how much media I consume myself. I mean, considering my work basically consists of watching TV, you'd think I'd be too sick of it when I quit for the day. But not so much, as it turns out. *goes off to watch another episode*

What fic was it? I'm almost afraid to ask and find out what fic has disappeared into the ether.

I've watched 2 seasons of Big Love (24), 2 seasons of Sports Night (44), so that's 68. But Sports Night is half-hour, so it's easier.
Catching up on Chuck today, I've seen 6 eps.
