My sister already blogged about Day Two.
Vanessa and I got up a little bit late and started around 9:15AM for our second and final day of our AD Marathon. We researched a little bit about AD/AD cast/AD episode plot-lines/references etc and realized our marathon could not have been done at a a better time:
1. I recently spotted an AD cast member in my neighborhood -- I will blog about this soon.
2. Monday, January 14th (the day before our marathon began) was Jason Bateman's birthday!
3. The series finale was held on my upcoming birthday (Feb. 10th) just a few years ago.
I started the day off with a hearty breakfast. As Vanessa and I watched, she got upset that I was online checking my mail and chatting with a few friends. However, I had seen the episodes just a few nights ago at my friend, Ari's, apartment. I got off of the 'puter and noticed that Vanessa was awfully quiet. She had started to nod off! How dare she! We decided we needed to take a break.
Vanessa and I had a funny conversation that went something like this:
Vanessa: Tanya, I have a confession to make. I need a break. During the first two episodes I was barely keeping my eyes open.
Tanya: I noticed! Yeah, we should take a quick lunch break and I'll shower.
Vanessa: That is sad when you think about it: We need a break from TV WATCHING!
Tanya: Well, if you think about it, there is half-time in soccer. There are time-outs in basketball. We need a break, too.
Vanessa: Yeah, but that's running. This is laying on a couch all day. It's like we need a break from an already leisurely activity.
We got back to the watching straight away. During another one of our breaks we debated who was cuter or who we'd rather date: Will Arnett or Jason Bateman. I opted for GOB while she opted for Michael. We, also, noticed during our small break that in order to finish our marathon, we'd be up for a long while. We charged on.
We finally ended the series finale at 12:28AM. However, we were not ready for it to be over. We watched a bunch of the extras and kept making jokes that our lives were over...
We tabulated our respective tallies and came to these conclusive findings:

Yes, I understand that I am a huge nerd for calculating all this crap (minus "The Final Countdown" - which my sis did), but it made my viewing more enjoyable. Also, it made me feel like this lazython was more professional...
Overall, I am really glad Vanessa and I undertook this massive marathon. It was a fun two days and I finally saw all the episodes in their entirety and in order. I recommend all other (lazy) people try it, too! Happy AD watching!

YES! I stumbled upon (downloaded) the whole series and spread out watching it in its entirety. Your nerd speak was actually very interesting and hysterical to me.
gob versus michael is too hard of a decision. i much prefer the "paper or plastic" decision.
