TV

Well Psych is supposed to be just a happy fun entertaining show but the last two episodes have made me cry. Sigh.

I'm still watching Doctor Who but I don't really care about it. It's there, whatever, I don't have any thoughts on it.

I watched all of Warehouse 13 in one go last year just in time for it to hit a 6 or 7 month hiatus, so I don't actually know what to think about it starting up again next week. It's sorta like, wait, there's more? Really? Huh. I do want to see more, though.

I have magical timing like that with TV shows, I think. I discovered that the 22 episodes of Switched At Birth I watched last summer were not all of S1, because S1 was 30 episodes, for some insane reason, so I finished that and watched the first 10 eps of S2... just in time for them to go on hiatus. I was like, oh, now I am caught up, when is the next episode? Oh, not for a couple months? Really? Okay.

I guess I'm also sorta watching Bones because my mother has it in the DVR but I care about that way way way even less than Doctor Who.

I've been watching CSI Miami streaming on Netflix as I fall asleep (because I am not doing so well with just dark and silence at night lately) and am now into the final season, S10, and I don't know what I'll do once that ends. HGTV streaming is probably better for sleeping, but still. Although EVERYONE in the world has guested on the CSIs, it is constantly like, oh hey, it's so-and-so. But let me just say that the amount of totally illegal search and seizure and police intimidation and brutality keeps notching up and up.

Just these past few weeks I watched all 3 seasons of Lost Girl. It is indeed very cheesy and a little sexploitational but quite entertaining. And oddly enough all Emmanuelle Vaugier's normally annoying traits (bland listless expressions, voice tone that always sounds fake, asymmetrical eyes and eyebrows) all really actually WORK WELL as the Morrigan. It's like they invented a role where her flaws become strengths. It's kinda miraculous.

Snackies

So I signed up for Graze and have been enjoying the snacks they send me. The food is yummy and also their system hits that perfect Venn diagram overlap sweet spot between OCD list-making/rating and exciting randomness for me.

Anyhow, I have an invite code, if anyone wants to try it out. First box is free. Valid only in the continental USA.

AND TAKEN.

remember when you feel very small

And fandom

I signed up for comics_bb. We'll see if I finish anything. Such Shaping Fantasies sadly isn't eligible since I've posted parts of it public already, so I need to decide what else to focus on (and keep going with that anyway). I'm trying to figure out what is most likely to get an artist: Lex/Kon, girl-Kon, or multiple Kons.

I'm also thinking of doing another round of sv_remix. Because. It would be fun. If other people would play.

Les Mis

On Saturday I told some people my story of why I have never read Les Misérables.

My parents gave me the book for Christmas when I was nine. I tried to start reading it. I decided it was too long and boring. I went to read something else.

Given that I basically will read any words placed in front of my eyes and am almost entirely incapable of deliberately stopping reading what I start, and this tendency was even more pronounced when I was a kid, in order to read the book now I would have to overcome the fact that it is labeled in my brain as the most boring book ever, SEARED INTO MY MEMORY as pretty much the only time in my entire life that I ever put a book down for being too long and boring.

I have two other childhood memories of not finishing a book. I have this vague idea that I was reading The Once And Future King and then at some point dropped it down a hill and lost my place and never bothered to find that again (this is a very odd memory and I'm not entirely sure it's true; the book-dropping is clear in my head but I can neither confirm nor deny whether the book was ever finished being read for real). The other concerns The Silmarillion, which I read once at about age nine and then tried to read again a year or two later. The second time around I decided the book was so boring that I had no idea how I'd managed to make it through the first time.

You can tell from the fact that these three memories have stuck with me all my life exactly how RARE it was for me to stop reading something when I was a kid. And that is why I think I will never be able to overcome the negative conditioning and have anything to do with Les Mis.

The consensus response of the group was, "but WHY would your parents give that book TO A NINE YEAR OLD KID?" *shrug* Don't ask me, ask them.
