Aliens made me do it
Some days I swear I have fallen into a black hole or time paradox or something, because the less I sleep, the faster the days go by. e.g. somehow I have not yet posted in 2009 and the end of residency is less than a month and a half away. So ... how's your life?
All of these concerns pale in comparison to a new and very worrisome problem: I have started watching Torchwood, and I am totally addicted. When the show first started a couple of years ago, I made it to episode 4 and gave up, but now I am partway through series 2 and will probably finish far, far too soon given my current level of sleep deprivation. It is an odd experience being so sucked into the show. To say Torchwood season 1 is seriously flawed in places is sort of like me saying, perhaps I could use a bit more sleep, while nodding off if sitting down more than 5 minutes. But there are some absolutely brilliant moments, and by the end of the season, the writers must thrown away, or started taking, the good crack and turn out a couple damn good episodes.
I'm sort of embarrassed to like the show, because watching I can't help but think so much of this is crap. And then I get one of the erstwhile heroes *smiling* before he headbutts a a creepy insane cannibal, and I realize it is hopeless. I have myself a new show.
