Addicted to TV

Tonight, I left work early because the schedule changed for Finals. The family that I stay with was watching TV when I got there. I got sucked into Pitch Perfect, until a commercial came on, thankfully, and I went to the gym. When I got back, the movie was just ending, so I watched the ending. Then Lip Sync Battle came on. I've heard of the show, but hadn't watched it. So I watched it. And another.
And ANOTHER. Until after 11pm.
I just can't stop watching. It's like I'm worried that I'll miss something, and it's only on right now, so I HAVE to watch it.
This is why having cable would be so dangerous for me. Sure, Netflix and Amazon Prime are addicting, for sure, but I don't have to worry about missing anything. The next episode will wait until I can watch it. It'll still be there hours, days, months, years from now. Just waiting for me. That's a lot less pressure than shows that are live, and I don't know when the episode will play again.
Anyway, this weekend I'll curse myself for wasting tonight on TV instead of grading. :/
