What am I going to do on Friday nights now?

So after ten years the venerable superhero television gem Smallville has come to an end, and I am kind of sad to see it go.  The last few seasons the show has aired on Friday nights, where shows long in the tooth go to die.  Surprisingly Smallville was resilient and stuck it out a couple more seasons, which worked out for me.  My Friday schedule has generally been pretty open.  Ugly guys don't get dates on Friday nights.  Why go to bars and troll for chicks when you can enjoy some occasionally interesting but more often than not poorly written teen drama slash science fiction adventures from the comfort of your darkened living room, complete with a cold beer or three at hand to smooth out the plot holes?  Come to think of it, the often dark and even more often alcoholic hazed environment of the bar scene might work to my advantage as a ugly but tall guy.
Dateless on another Friday night doesn't have to mean bored or depressed.  In a way I looked forward to Smallville every week, despite its many maddening flaws.  Ten years is a long time for any TV show to last, especially when you've watched it since the very beginning and are still young enough that ten years makes up a significant percentage of your years.  Ten years is a long time when you think of where you were then, and where you are now.  It's been something of a constant in a changing life and a changing world.  I could always count on its exhilarating, frustrating blend of superhero mythos and illogical nonsense.
So what am I to do on Friday nights now?  I find that as I grow older my ability to readily accept or at least overlook mediocre or even bad TV diminishes.  Furthermore, as previously stated Friday nights are the equivalent of hospice for shows on their last legs.  Their best plots are far behind them and to jump in so late is like becoming a fan of the Washington Wizards' Michael Jordan.
So the quest has begun to find new ways to occupy myself on dateless Friday nights.  Maybe I'll find a comfortable chair and a good book at Barnes & Noble.  There's always the Redbox.
Or maybe I'll revisit that darkened bar idea...
