On the subject of having no depth.

At the moment I'm trying to read Game of Thrones, mostly because I want to watch the series and I love being that dickhead who watches adaptations of things and goes "Huh, well, in the book, which I readThe sad thing I've realized lately, however, is that when it comes to fantasy/sci-fi, my attention span is actually worse than when I was younger.

I haven't read a single book that isn't law or sports related since like, 2007. When I took a British Lit class, I really enjoyed it but at best read half of each book. I used to be like, oh yeah, I like Jane Austen, I read Mansfield Park, she's a great writer. What really happened is that I crammed the spark notes in time for the exam.

I won't blame tv though. I'm just a lazy reader.

It disgusts me how often I lie about reading books in order to gain street cred.

Yeah, I think I've just become lazy at everything. Lately I've noticed I don't even have the attention span to get into shows with plots more complicated than your average sitcom. Like...I downloaded all of Lost because that is one of those Epic Saga Shows That People Discuss and I could barely get through it. Then I quite easily sit down and watch crap like New Girl which as I watch it I'm even saying "Well, this is terrible. This isn't even television." BUT I CAN FINISH AN EPISODE OF IT REALLY EASILY.

Maybe we just need to accept we're not sophisticated?

Fuck Lost, btw. Burn Notice is a pretty good show, also a lot easier to get through because it's not just JJ Abrams wanking on a script. /unsolicitedtvshowsuggestion

I actually have all of Burn Notice, too. Mum and Dad have given me all of these shows to watch and I'm almost overwhelmed for choice and just have no idea where the hell to start. I'M GOING TO START WITH BURN NOTICE.

OMG DO IT BECAUSE NO ONE WATCHES IT AND I NEED SOMEONE TO KNOW WHAT IT IS SO I CAN TALK ABOUT IT WITH THEM.

THIS WON'T WORK BECAUSE I WILL BE 458674586746 SEASONS BEHIND YOU BUT I WILL WATCH LIKE THE WIND OR SOMETHING IDK.

Well, it's the offseason, so you have time to catch up :)
