Today I bought books and ate chocolate and went to a Jewish deli for a friend's (l_the_fangirl) birthday lunch. I thought it was a good way to spend Easter and made up for being woken up at 8 by squealing kids. I also watched up to mid-9 in Ergo Proxy after spending time watching things with essandem andxelksa yesterday. (I miss my boy already. :<)
I have come to the realization that I will only watch something on my own if I don't really need to comment on it. I dislike watching shows on my own when I want to talk about them. Like Avatar or House or Genshiken. Also when they simply have a positive emotional impact on me. Diebuster was adorable and badass the whole way through (and /u/-tastic: see, icon.) and otherwise never let me down in six episodes; Ergo Proxy has had some drag in 9 episodes but otherwise has been kind of like the same mindwarping experience that mainlineing WHR over Christmas was; and Mushishi was a delightful romp.
It's not that I don't mind watching the popular shows as it often turns out, it's just that it's kind of hard to hold it in when I am verbally flailing at the screen, thus making them something that is less satisfying to watch alone and thus not as fun or worth the effort, compared to a book which I can enjoy without any vocal inputs. Plus I'm squeamish about the combination of blood, bone and internal organs on a show like House and having a viewing buddy means I can eat and watch, which is important when your dinner time is the same time as the House viewing slot.
Now to bed: filiming in the morning.
