(no subject)
Let me tell you this for starters... my stomach kind of hurts. Also the face on my chest is only a decoration. Also, there's not really a face on my chest.
Who knows what it's complaining about now, but there's very few things it doesn't complain about these days.
I just watched the first two episodes of V, which does not in fact have anything to do with V for Vendetta, but is in fact about the bad bad aliens that surely travelled halfway across the galaxy to obliterate us or some such. Not that I had any real problem with the premise. I just got bored, and that's probably more to do with my waning attention span than anything else. I just don't have the patience for these long mysterious things in which it's not about people outsmarting each other. Wow, I've totally narrowed my scope of things I enjoy to about nothing. I should add that a good alternative is something with characters that regularly make me laugh, which V doesn't seem to have yet.
I suspect this is also why I don't like 24, other than the fact that it feels painfully slow because all of it's supposed to be happening in one day, no matter how fast paced the action on the screen is. I just can't convince my brain otherwise, or at least I couldn't in the two episodes I watched. They could just be bum episodes. It could just be better if you come in at the beginning of a season and know what's what. It could just be that I saw Bloody Monday first. Either way, I don't foresee myself going back to 24 any time soon.
Least of all Lost, which admittedly I am curious about, seeing as it's the last ever season and all and they're supposedly explaining things so that they make sense finally. But I haven't watched since the latter half of season one I think, so I'm not likely to catch on even if I did watch. There's always wikipedia, of course, but who wants to go through all that tra la la?
Human Target is a fair time waster, though they lost me on the storyline in which a hacker found a skeleton key to the Internet. Somehow this struck me as kind of silly. Maybe it's possible, who knows, but it made me go "uh huh. Yeah right." 'cause there's only so far I can suspend my disbelief and I was already giving them leeway for the guy knowing how to do everything. If there was an explanation for that, I probably wasn't paying attention.
At the time I was simultaneously wandering around livejournal reading people's posts about Kamen Rider. Because I can't seem to get enough of other people's discussions lately. It's a bit like finding out somebody else can see your imaginary friend and you're really not crazy, except without the part that your imaginary friend is also a creepy pervert out to whisk you away to his magical basement... wait...
I just got to the end of a Gekiranger rerun marathon and man, all the parts that got to me the last time still got to me this time. Gekiranger, why break my heart? But that's what I love about it, though. It was the first show in ages to break my heart and break it multiple times and make me love every second of it. Then Den O and Kabuto went and did that too, though not nearly as effectively. There's still a hole in my heart for Tsurugi (he died so young! And he didn't even get his date) and Kageyama (sort of) and Yuuto/Airi (I'm a sucker for those puppy dog eyes and that grouchy pout. Nakamura Yuichi, I heart). But it's not as big as the one left behind by Rio and Mele and those episodes with Jan ad ToraPika. I just love Gekiranger so much. Except Gou. I don't think anything could make him grow on me.
I spent a lot of time this week downloading Orthros no Inu, but then I can't seem to be assed to watch it. Maybe tomorrow or later in the week. I don't feel like doing much of anything really. I don't feel like reading any of the books I started or haven't started; I don't feel like reading subtitles; I don't feel like watching anything stupid that I have time to realise is stupid, ie shows without subtitles; I don't feel like searching out fic, though I'm kind of in the mood for some gravi fic, I suppose. I'll just look for some gravitation fic then.
