Six Feet Under

Saw the very first episode of Six Feet Under just now, and it's very much like a train wreck. Absolutely fascinating. If I weren't so tired, I'd see the other episode I've got. :)

The only complaint so far is the use of commercials. While they *are* funny, they really jarred me away from getting as attached to the characters as I *wanted* to be, and they were downright inappropriate at time. I wonder about their place.

Still, it's not too often you see two men of different races tongue-kissing each other on television, even on cable. Bonus! And the 'random' explosions that abounded were completely believable, but hilarious at the same time. :)

Next time: The Will! I might have to start downloading future episodes on Kazaa.

Everyone Here

Hey there, all...

I had another "end-of-the-world" dream last night. I don't remember much about it except that this one was actually kind of scary and there was only an hour left until the entire world was vaporized. I vaguely remember nuclear bombs being the cause this time. I wonder what the term would be for having a phobia of nuclear explosions. They're very pretty, but back in Baltimore, when the air raid siren was tested every Monday at 1, I nearly panicked every time.

I used to have an end of the world dream every week at least when I was a kid. I've always been strongly attached to it for some reason...I wonder if my upbringing had anything to do with that. >:)

I've managed to keep my room in somewhat OK array, and I completed the Games section! Haven't even started on Love In War, and the Occult section is a daunting prospect, but God-damnit I'm going to start in on both of them today. I'm filling in for Katy on Friday night, so that doesn't give me nearly enough time to be the least bit slackish about it; the bulk of it has to be done today. Wish me luck!

My emotional state has been 'roller-coaster' for the past several days, but overall it's been good. I've been alternating between wanting to hide and just being OK. I have a lot of work to do, but I've been doing it, and that feels good. :) There's a really basic kind of joy in just...doing things. Some people might be used to that feeling, but to a self-destructive slacker-flake like me, it's still a new idea. ;)
