General snarkiness

shadowkatThe term waking up on the wrong side of the bed really applies to me today. Nerve endings on edge, spoiling for a fight. So wisely stayed far far away from posting boards.
Suffice it to say, I completely and utterly identified with Spike in last night's Angel episode. In every way imaginable. Yep, that's me right now, complete with snarky comments. Have nothing else to say about the episode right now. Was spoiled for it. Thought it was okay. Nothing special. But then I'm not a David Fury fan.
Apparently California has a new governor and it is Arnold Swazernegger. (The only plus sides I can see from this are: 1) Thank God I don't reside in California, 2.) He won't be doing any more movies.
3) He's apparently a whiz at finance and from all reports California needs it. Sorry so not an Arnold fan.) With Arnie in California, Pataki/Bloomberg here, and Bush in office, I'm wondering if my old idea of defecting to Canada is still possible? Plus sides of Canada: 1) National Healthcare ( ie. I don't have to bleeding pay $346 bucks a month for health insurance)
2) Possibly more jobs?? 3)Not at War with Iraq. 4)Gun control (no silly 2nd amendment), 5)Beautiful environment. Negative sides: 1) can't afford to move right now. 2) hard to get a job if not a Canadian, makes sense that, 3) Sars (not a good reason I know)
4) Cold. (Although the cooler summers is a plus).
Would I still get Angel up in Canada? From what I've seen online - it looks like it. Oh well, might as well stay in NYC for the moment. Although...if someone were to offer me a decent job in Canada, particularly Quebec or British Columbia? I would not turn it down.
Methinks I'm burnt on the whole analyzing television thing. Not surprising considering I wrote the equivalent of two books in 2001-2003 on BTVS. I think I analyzed every character, every metaphor, and every episode upside down and sideways. Now I look at an episode of Angel and all I can think of is well a few snarky comments reminscent of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and general impressions, hardly anything worth posting on. I tried to write an essay on impressions of BTVS writers but blanked sometime after doing David Greenwalt - that was just the first one. Yep, I'm burnt. Oh well.
Still reading Game of Kings by Dorothy Dunnett, starting to get really good.
Listening to Billie Holiday.
Oh - good show to watch if you like Elmore Lenard, film noir or pulp mysteries: Karen Sisko - ABC, 10pm on Wed. Also - Smallville was surprisingly good this week and last week.
