Regarding that last bit, apparently I've become like everyone else; I can no longer do one thing at once. I've got the computer open and now I'm messing about trying to do two things at once when I can only concentrate on one. I stopped after the word "messing" and watched for ten minutes. (Did it again when I wrote it there in quotes.) I don't know why I think I can do two things at once. It would be like trying to read a book and write at the same time. (Or maybe radio is a better example.)

In any case, trying to write like this is ridiculous.

[Edited to add]: (Originally I was trying to play Freecell.)

Maybe what it is is that I've gotten into the story and so it's more engaging for me to watch it all the time. Perhaps I thought it would be less interesting, or one I'd seen before.

(Right now there's a woman who has stayed when she shouldn't have. She's in danger of dying, being around a killer. She should have left when she discovered the evidence. Now she's probably going to die.)
