1. The current fight debate on health care in the US (now that the bill has been signed into law) reminds me of the wars in various fandoms. Nice to know that people are consistently stubborn about adhering to their pov no matter what. And somewhat crazy in expressing it. Although to be honest? I think the people haggling over health care have long surpassed the craziest of fans. It's a bit frightening to realize that a professional news commentator can be crazier than a teenage fan on the internet. Or reassuring, I can't decide which. Been one of those weeks.
Overheard two co-workers discussing it this morning. One insisted that this was evidence that the end was near. Both sides had gone insane. Actually, everyone had gone crazy. And maybe he should head off to the hills and become a mountain person, live off the land, and in a bunker until it passes over. Granted work has been nutty lately, but not that nutty --- okay, wait, they are discussing the health care debate and NY State politics.
Got it.
2. Work is killing me right now. Strung out. Had several panic attacks. And feel like I'm being pulled in five directions at once. Don't want to talk about it. Just throwing it out there to let you know, real life is kicking my butt - so don't have the energy to spend much time writing or online and if this post comes across as a tad snarky and cranky, that's why. I come home at night and crash in front of the telly, a complete zombie (in the metaphorical sense not the literal one of course.)
3. I'm considering giving up on Damages - I don't care about anyone - both women characters, Rose and Patty, are people that I feel an overwhelming desire to slap repeatedly whenever they are on-screen, probably does not help that I've met them in real life and went to law school with them, reasons 500 and 501 of why I am NOT a lawyer, and find my attention wandering. Plus, bored. And it's plugging up my DVR. I may just let it delete itself.
4. Lost - sigh. Well that was a thrill and a half. NOT. You know actually![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
selenak pretty much said everything I thought about the episode in her journal already. So did wee_warrior for that matter. Which was basically...( spoilers for Lost )
There were some interesting bits...unfortunately they were at the very beginning such as the first five minutes, but hey we can't have everything.
( Lost spoilers...what was good, what was awful...and where I think this stupid show is headed. )
5. Been watching or streaming Being Erica , the Canadian tv series, via my DVR - which is shown on SoapNEt in the US. Watched several episodes in a row this week. Quite a cool little show. Rather enjoying it and its premise. Also it meets the Bechdel Test, well most of the time, just not in the last two episodes, but you can't have everything. I'm in love with Kai - who has a definite Spike-ish air about him. He even moves a little like Marsters did in that role. And Erin Karplunk as Erica is wonderful. She's also the best thing on Life Unexpected - which I'm getting close to giving up on. Yep, the one notable thing about Life Unexpected is the actress playing Erica, has a recurring role as Kate Cassidy's best bud and producer on Life.
