An updatey kind of thing
This three day weekend was desperately needed. Yesterday it rained and I didn't go out at all, which was a nice change of pace. Didn't get much writing done. I have some interesting prospects for paid non-fiction in addition to the Previously blog, so I'm focusing on that rather than trying to figure out how to write a good short story.
I'm reading a lot, though, most notably The Drawing of the Three which batyatoon loaned me and so far it's intriguing, kind of pungent and memorable. I haven't read Stephen King since I was a kid, when I devoured all his horror because none of the adults around noticed what I was reading.
The Futon Critic has a very nifty thing, a schedule of the Fall 2006 TV show premiere dates. This is a very good thing, because since getting a DVR a few seasons back, I have lost the ability to remember when anything is on or starting, even for something I'm obsessed with.
Returning: Supernatural, Battlestar Galactica, [ETA: Veronica Mars]
New: Studio 60, Heroes.
Wondering about: Jericho
And that's all I want on my list, really. Supernatural counts as like, five shows since, um, *sneeze* fandom *koff* There are a whole bunch of episodes of Life on Mars on my DVR but I don't know when I'm going to watch them. Operation Rewatch the Sucky Seasons of The X-Files hasn't budged past "Terms of Endearment" (that Bruce Campbell episode)
[ETA: See? I forgot Veronica Mars.
Also, you'll note Lost is not there anymore. But that's negotiable.
If you start watching something new and amazing, feel free to rec it to me, but only if it's a case of omg dotsomething needs to see this show, it's ridiculous that she's not watching it!]
You all heard about Rumsfeld's speech and Keith Olberman's chanelling of Edward R. Murrow? Just checking. Politics is something I find it harder and harder to discuss; it's just upsetting. It's September and that's when I swore I'd take my head out of the hole and start paying attention, but only to the domestic election. I'm going to watch what happens with the battleground states and not read any of the international news because while I feel strongly this kind of thing needs to be reported and talked about, I personally can no longer read about real people being blown up.
There is still a stack of graphic novels to be read on my TV stand next to a stack of DVD's to watch and it's been that way for months.
