Guilty pleasure: Being Erica
Time-traveling! Labyrinth of books and interiors of the mind! Quirkiness! Dreamy boys! Heartbreak and breaking hearts! Friendships! Being true to yourself! Toronto love! Post-graduate life! Making decisions! Terrible puns! Over-analyzing! Inner voices! Being single! Job-hunting! Ultra-charming leading lady!
I have a crush! Ah, I love this show Being Erica. It was only a week ago that I randomly sat down to watch television after asking the universe for a sign. Yes, I ask the universe to give me signs, occasionally. Often, this comes to me in the form of a song, an animal, a dream, or a person.
It happened to be the season finale and Dr. Tom drew a door on a brick wall with chalk. Erica enters -- da da be de doom -- she's time-traveled back to the moment in university confronting her Professor/thesis advisor who asks Erica -- "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" and Erica is hesitant to answer. At first she can't provide an answer, other than "I need my degree" but then Erica is provoked and really Erica asserts that she wants to write books and ... the intimidating but frank professor Hogan directs Erica to "You have dreams, follow your heart".
As cheesy as that sounds (and maybe this tv show -- it's good!)... I think this is what I have to do too. Um, there is also a really kind of devastating part that seems to happen so much quicker on television than in real life. Which makes me both laugh and feel teary at the same time. Essentially, being rejected or accepting the realization that something is not working and it's inevitable or not sustainable in the long run - this cannot or should not be fixed - this is life and love, sometimes.
Anyway...
I've been catching up on watching full episodes on the CBC website, www.cbc.ca/beingerica
