 Not that much; my housemate tends to get home before me and is usually watching utter codshite when I get in.
	Not that much; my housemate tends to get home before me and is usually watching utter codshite when I get in.Speaking of kids telly, I did watch a bit of Adventure Time recently, that seemed quite good and surreal.
I've been slowly plodding through 30 Rock as it's quite funny and helps the hangover pass.
