so, you know that thing...

[kalichan]

Yeah, the thing.

Where you haven't posted in forever, and you want to, but writing has become, like, this chore that you put off, like you put off homework and grading papers and watering plants and writing your fucking dissertation, in order to do really stupid unrewarding shit like watch all four seasons of fucking Brothers and Sisters, which

Yo, you ARE writing, for this is a post of awesomeness.

I've been just lurking most places these last few days because of work and house guests and ... looming depressing birthday. But, you know, overall, life is good.

[kalichan]

*hugs* Somehow you always cheer me up! Thank you.

re: lurking -- I'm sorry! But! You are awesome! And you being on the planet is awesome! But I understand. *hugs*

Things I Love:

(1) Brothers & Sisters, which, yes, is a terrible soap opera of a show but somehow really speaks to me. I can't help it! I think the acting ensemble has great chemistry with each other!

(2) Arcadia!!! It's my favorite play, too! And I'm going down to New York to see it this weekend, I can't wait!

[kalichan]

(1) I can't stop watching it. It's just! Yeah. I love it. And Sally Field is really incredible. And I keep thinking McCallister is Sam Seaborn! Except, you know, Republican. And yeah, great chemistry. I think Kevin is my favorite. (I'm like, halfway through season 4). Who's yours?

(2) YAY! I'm so excited! Let me know how it is -- we can compare notes after next week.

[earlgreytea68]

YES. I always just ignored the politics of it and considered McCallister to flat-out be Sam Seaborn.

I think Kevin is my favorite as well. Although I at times identify with both Kitty and Sarah, I think Kevin is just my favorite, in all his neurotic lawyerness. (Tommy makes me a little crazy.)

Re: That thing: How is it we both got cracked out on Brothers & Sisters at the EXACT same time? Nuts. Just nuts. Almost done with S3, I think

[kalichan]

I love your pull quotes. IS HE NOT THE BESTEST?

Anyways, I love you and miss you bunches. Sorry my stupid stomach decided to pull a suicide bombing. And I was thinking of you today, re: Elisabeth Sladen. So fucking sad.

*sniff*

OMG WE DO, WE SO DO! (i'm, uh, i'm kinda thinking about writing a comic/graphic novel... imma need some help tho!)

i should totes be writing too *slaps wrist* but yeah, there is no, uh, juiciness!

[kalichan]

LOL... we make it sound so dirty! *grins*

BUT ROCK ON ZOMBIES GRAPHIC NOVEL! That is so freakin' awesome.

[kel_reiley]

i haven't decided if it will be post-apocalypse or not yet - it's mostly just a vague idea and an excited feeling of 'ooh shiny!'

[sanginmychains]

Hello! I have not forgotten you. And I too have been in a writing dry spell of epic proportions. You're working on a dissertation; I have a two year old. Guess how long the spell has lasted? If you guessed two years...well you're not accounting for the fact that my brain died roughly 6 months into the pregnancy ;-)

There is time, eventually, for nearly everything. But maybe that time is not now.

I keep telling myself this, but it doesn't really help. Does it help you?

Yeah I think I have to go watch The Borgias now. You make it sound very watchable.

[kalichan]

Eeeep! I hope you like it - The Borgias, I mean. It is totally my new shiny.

re: your baby / my baby -- at least yours is growing? *grins* But yeah, I need to hear it... even if it doesn't help. *hugs* it's good to hear from you though!
