snapshot of my thoughts at the moment: alice in chains

I was debating whether or not to post this, because it's that wanky and overly-sincere little kid side of me that I'm trying not to be. Also, it was written quickly and is unedited, plus it probably won't interest a single person on my friends list. But hey, why not post? It's not like I'm forcing anyone to read it ( Read more... )

fandom, alice in chains, music

I'm surprised how many people hadn't heard of them. Where I was growing up, the time and place, everyone knew Alice in Chains. (I feel so out of touch now!)

I must admit, I don't know who Marillion was... I'm sorry. :(

I do hope that my next obsession will be music or perhaps film. Television just doesn't seem like the place to go if you're looking for sincerity or consistency or artistic integrity. Even if the creator is sincere, the network is sabotaging those things at every turn. I think you can find more focus and purity of vision in film or music (especially independent film or music... is there even any such thing as an independent TV series?)

David Fury is involved with Lost, isn't he? I know some people like him, but I just can't stand that guy. In truth, I haven't even turned on my TV in months. (Well, save for watching the Marilyn Manson/Stuart Townsend episode of "Carson Daly" ... ::drools::)

But yeah... I am hoping for something good to come along. I'm sad that I don't still care about the Buffyverse, but I realized that trying to force myself to care just makes me hate it even more.

It's not so much the lack of new material; it's just that I HATED the theme of the story and the direction that they took Spike. It makes me physically ill just thinking about it. In contrast, if they'd ended it after season five I'd probably still have fond feelings for the whole thing.

I'm glad that you still have stories and plot bunnies to keep you going. The great thing about Buffy fandom is that it has such a wonderful community around it. It's getting smaller but there's still a lot there....
