Well, my cable is back. Apparently they suffered an outage at their hub - due to a voice/audio upgrade for digital phone. (Which personally I think is not worth the savings they brag about. I don't have it and never would.)
LJ question - describe your sense of humor in five words or less? Dry Wit.
That was easy. Speaking of humor,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shapinglight's summary of the plot of the Bill Willingham Angel Comics had me in stitches. She reads it so we don't have to, not only reads it, but summarizes and with humor! I'm not reading the things, please. But...if you analyzed or watched the Angel series at all - you have to read this plot.
1. ( Want a quick laugh - read this summary of the latest Angel issue, spoilers by the way )
2. Still reading Terry Gross's interviews from the NPR series Fresh Air. Made it through the whole bit on creating hip hop, funk, DJ track skipping from experts such as George Clinton, Grandmaster Flash, and Bootzy. Now working my way through interviews with Paul Schrader and Jodie Foster on the making of Taxie Driver. Paul Schrader wrote the screenplay for Taxi Driver.
But what I want to share are two things - this bit from an interview with Nick Hornby, the writer of High Fidelty and About a Boy. I read the former - it was one of those pop culture guy books that we passed to each other back in the early 1990s as a must read, while we were drinking cosmos etc. Saw both as movies, the latter was a better movie. And...a bit from Paul Schrader regarding unreliable narrators.
Here's the first - which I found insightful and gave me one of those rare "a-hah" moments.
( Ah-hah moment )
