Oct. 19th, 2016 10:27 pmSkipped the debate again tonight. Got enough politics at work this week, thank you very much. Although the election has renewed my love and respect for Joss Whedon, who turns out to be a huge supporter of Hillary Clinton and a rather sane one. Almost interested in watching Buffy again. (Not Marvel Agents of Shield -- it's not really Whedon's baby, more his brother's and Jeff Loeb's. You can sort of tell, it's missing something. Gave up on the show after the first half of the season 3, I think it was S3. Got bored, to be honest. Also, I resent the fact that it may resulted in a weird retcon of my favorite comic series, The X-men. Either that or I've just burned out on superheroes.) Have felt an odd desire to re-watch Farscape -- but alas, no time.
Watched Frequency and The Big Bang Theory instead. Frequency, I'll only stay with if they manage to save her mother. If not, I'm gone. Because really where can it go? That's my problem with the series actually -- it feels like it has enough for maybe a six-episode miniseries but not an entire series. At least not without stretching it insanely out -- with a perpetual carrot dangling in front of the audience. Today's audience doesn't have the patience for that sort of thing.
I actually like Timeless better because it has more to explore and is less angsty. The heroine's life does a huge about face, but in an interesting way. She loses a sister and gains a fiancee. Also the villain is more interesting and may not necessarily be a villain.
While in Frequency, the villain is just another serial killer.
On the reading side of things? Still re-reading the Magic Series, whose metaphors strike me as rather apropos. And doing a lot of writing. Each night, I write a little more of my book -- when the internet doesn't distract me. I wrote faster before the internet.
Getting closer though to completing one of the two sci-fi novels. Or so I think. I might do the nanowrimore, if I can figure it out.
There's some interesting movies popping up, but no time to see them. Sort of miss the old movie-going partners I had a few years back. Although still would have no real time to see them, movies or movie-going partners.
Anybody watching or reading anything interesting? Anybody still reading this?? Am I talking to myself?
