Cool Quote that I found at the bottom of an email today...

Inspiration is not the exclusive privilege of poets or artists generally. There is, has been, and will always be a certain group of people whom inspiration visits. It's made up of all those who've consciously chosen their calling and do their job with love and imagination. It may include doctors, teachers, gardeners -- and I could list a hundred more professions ... A swarm of new questions emerges from every problem they solve. Whatever inspiration is, it's born from a continuous "I don't know."

- Wislawa Szymborska

Kitchen Sink again:Dollhouse, Caprica, and stuff...

Stupid pop up ads. The entire lap-top screen goes dark, except for this white bit that says when the following ad finishes you will be returned to your lj experience...then nothing happens or it comes on with audio before I can click closed. ARRGH. Can I complain to LJ? Would it make any difference? Ponders. Nah. Doubt it. Sigh, I stand by my generalization of years back the advertising and marketing industry is evil, I tell you, don't believe me? Watch Mad Men. Also attempting to use a tooth or mouth guard to stop grinding. It says it is comfortable on the package - evil copywriter probably has never worn a tooth guard. Hah!
I can't wear the damn things and sleep. It's like having those fake fangs in your mouth - you know the one's you get at Halloween?

Finished watching tv shows tonight, my favorite..I'm keeping to myself, because ahem, it helps to know one's audience...well except for this wonderful line, which bears repeating not to mention remembering. (If I write it down, I generally remember it, well most of the time.)

The thing about judgement, cupcake, is it always comes around like a boomerange and hits you in the face.

Sigh. So true.

Saw Dollhouse and Caprica tonight. The finale of Dollhouse - I think would have worked a lot better if we got a full season. The whole series felt very rushed to me and lacked the necessary emotional build-up to well have much impact. That said, I remember thinking while watching it - hmmm, if Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel were Whedon's take on vampire lore, Dollhouse is Whedon's twist on zombies - have to give him credit his zombie twist is far more innovative and a great deal better than any other zombie thing I've ever read, avoided, or seen in my lifetime, mostly avoided (and I've unfortunately attempted to avoide quite a few, not my favorite sub-genre.). But this one actually expands on the genre and does a really good job of pinpointing as well as exploring why it has always disturbed/scared the heck out of me. Plus, once again, he's ahead of the curve/trend. He always is, that's his problem - he doesn't benefit from it, because he set it and then left, just when people took notice and went nuts. Plus he's soo left of center and culty, that only a scant few like or notice what he is doing. I predict zombies are going to be hot in four years, if not sooner. Just give the vamps time to oversaturate the market, and we'll get the zombies.

( cut for length not spoilers, if there are any they are extreemly vague, I dare you to figure them out...for Caprica and Dollhouse. )

A bit off topic, but I read this bit which made me laugh:

No one over twenty-one could sustain moral superiority.

Sigh. If only that were true. ;-)
