I just realized that I never continued with my re-watch of the Harry Potter series. I only watched the first one, and then somehow managed to get caught up in something else. So there's something I need to do this weekend...as I have the next five days off, and am already scratching my head about what I will do with all my free time. In some ways, I wish I was working, as it doesn't feel right to sit around and do absolutely nothing.

Anyway, so I need to continue with the Harry Potter re-watch, and also watch the following things:

*the last three aired LOST episodes (I don't even know how I fell behind on this)
*Generation Kill (my brother keeps nagging me about watching this)
*The Pacific (after all ten episodes have aired though)
*Journeyman (it's been on my external drive for over a year)
*Dollhouse season two (also been sitting there, waiting for a long boring weekend)

And I'm sure I have more that I just can't think of off the top of my head at this moment. Most of the time, I simply find it hard to get up the motivation to start watching. Once I have the momentum going, it's all downhill from there.

In the meantime, a blessed Easter to all those who celebrate it accordingly...may the hope of this holiday accompany you in the upcoming spring and summer.

Egad.

Three days since my last post. I must be slipping or losing that contemplative musing ability that I so cherish. It's odd how you can be "busy", when really all you're doing is reading or writing, jogging, listening to music, and working.

Here's a brief ode to Captain Gault who did not make it past five episodes on LOST. R.I.P. dear sweet beautiful hunky handsome gorgeous...*wipes away drool*...

All good things must come to an end...dang you Darlton!!!

There's very specific groups of people in the world, and we are happy when we find the group we belong in. I refer to media groups, for there are people who love tv shows and movies more passionately than other people.
You have your X-filers, your LOSTies, japanimes, Moonlighters, Buffy/Angel, O.C.ers, and so much more.

The point is...find what you're passionate about, find something that works for you, and don't worry about what people think/say. You know what you love...just do it.

Which Lost Character Are You?
	You are Jack. When people need a leader they come to you! You are a quick thinker and your morals are unscrupulous. Sometimes you can be a little too focused on your work, but it is only because you feel a great responsibility to those depending on you. You are intelligent and a logical thinker. You live by your convictions and encourage others to do the same.

My Love Affair With Television.

I'll admit it, I am having a love affair with tv shows.

I am currently watching/have avidly watched 20+ shows including: LOST, The Office, 30 Rock, Desperate Housewives, Veronica Mars, Arrested Development, Ugly Betty, NCIS, Robin Hood BBC, Skins, The O.C., The Tudors, Gossip Girl, Heroes, Tell Me That You Love Me, Sex And The City, Pushing Daisies, Chuck, House MD, Kyle XY, Jericho, Dead Like Me, Moonlight, and more that I probably can't bring to mind at the moment.

I've decided that tv is essentially for me, an escape from the realities of life.
I'd prefer to be wrapped up in the lives and antics of fictional characters than to think about my life.

I can't watch a show and censor the speed that I am watching it at. I sate myself it in, consuming it greedily and quickly. I've completed almost two seasons of The O.C. in about a week and a half.

I can clearly recall when I first started watching LOST, and how life seemed to fade away and stop for me, revolving mainly around the mysteries, characters, and intrigues of LOST. I would sit in my room for hours, days on end, watching with interest, the plotlines unfold. No one would disturb and I could be away from friends and family for days before any interest would spark in me about them.

It's so easy for me to fall into a tv show, to become obsessed with it, and to spend all my time thinking about it.

Sometimes I wonder when this love affair will end. Sometimes I hope it will never end, sometimes I pray that it's timely demise will arrive soon. It all depends on how my week is going, how my life is progressing.

All love affairs must end. The question is - when?
