BLAH. It's my favorite holiday of the year, and I'm too depressed to enjoy it. Even had one of those staring-contests with the computer tonight where I try to think of something worth doing and it looks at me with scorn and is all "pffh, like ANYTHING you EVER do is worth doing". (No, it doesn't actually talk to me, I'm not THAT crazy. Yet.) Just ... didn't feel like doing anything. Finally I settled on watching a movie, and oddly that sort of worked a little. Not on the depression, but it distracted me more than I thought it would considering that all new movies suck. This one sucked too, but in an entertaining way (Super 8, it had lots of explosions and was basically ET+Cloverfield, if you're interested), and I do love it when any sort of fiction manages to hypnotize me that way. I mean, I wish it would happen more often, but atleast it almost always happens whenever I really need to be distracted.
Anyway. Whining portion of the post over, clearly I just need more distractions. Or higher dosage on my meds. Or both. But yeah, like I said, today's my favorite holiday of the year - not Halloween, although that's fun too, but it cannot beat Daylight Savings: Fall Edition. It's like Christmas, except your present is TIME. It's that one night of the year where you magically gain an hour, just like that! Or, if you wanna look at it in another, equally awesome way: You get a do-over on a whole hour. Didn't like the last 60 minutes? Just rewind the clock and boom, it's one hour ago and you can do it all over again. BEST HOLIDAY EVER. I still haven't decided if I'm gonna use my extra hour to try and nudge my daily rhythm into something slightly less night owl-y or if I'm just gonna take it as a free pass to stay up extra late. It'll be the latter, though, it always is, or a bit of both.
Grimm: So, watched this earlier, before the big depression, although it might have been part of what triggered it. It was just so BORING. I dunno how they took a show on this theme and made it dull, but they did and it was. And stupid, like, frustratingly stupid. Why is TV so stupid this year? I'm pretty sure I haven't gotten any smarter - quite the opposite really - and there are still shows that doesn't feel like they were written by someone on their lunchbreak, so WHAT HAPPENED? And am I the only one feeling this way? Is this like when someone thinks they're not getting something because they're too smart to get it, but actually, it's because they're too stupid? Am I having Sheldon Cooper Syndrome? Or maybe I've just gotten reeeally nitpicky all of a sudden, although that doesn't explain why some shows are safe. I mean, I don't lose my marbles over Revenge being illogical, and, well ... Nuff said?
IDK, I just can't get over this feeling of wanting to take almost all of the new shows of this season and take them apart and put them back together in a way that works.
Anyway. I'm off to figure out how to spend my free hour and try to enjoy that, cause this day does only come along once. The spring-version is much less fun, although it does involve timetravelling to the future. Just, not in a good way.
