I'm not obsessed. I'm focused.
Feb. 24th, 2004 02:42 amThe mailman still seems to be holding my Jake 2.0 DVD hostage, but at least he finally decided to set a few captives free, including some muy fun RotK and Kim Possible Valentines from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
castalianspring and kathlaw. I have very cool friends. Seriously, you guys are fabulous. I also got a surprise check for thirteen bucks and change, part of that settlement from those price-fixing jerks in the music industry. I'd totally forgotten about the whole thing. Yay, surprise money! Pity that it's not quite enough to buy a CD. Heh. The other thing that arrived today was a copy of gwyn_r's new Keen Eddie vid (which premiered at Escapades and is now online, thanks to morgandawn). Funny, funny vid, and quite stylish and clever, as one would expect based on her other work. Great song, too. I really need to send feedback [note to self- do that], assuming I can tear myself away from Miracles long enough to do so.
( Cut for length- a bunch of navel-gazing about the show that's currently distracting me from all of my other favorite shows and films, not to mention taking over my thoughts and dreams and LJ posts and conversations and doodles while I'm on the phone... honestly, were there subliminal messages in Miracles? Was it really a top-secret brainwashing project, and only its early cancellation saved us all from a terrible fate? Am I going to need deprogramming here? And how did this cut get so wordy? )
Speaking of X-Files (kinda), I dug out my copy of Ty Miller's episode ("Shapes," or "We can't afford good werewolf makeup") to see if it was as bad as I remembered. Yep. Definitely not a high point, or even a medium point, though it wasn't wholly without merit. Ty was very sweet and cute, despite some truly unfortunate hair (and I do think he's improving with age; the grey in his hair on WaT is rather distinguished). And the supporting cast was fun, with Donnelly Rhodes as Ty's dad and Michael Horse, Renae Morriseau and Jimmy Herman playing more or less the same types they'd played on Twin Peaks and North of 60. If only the budget had been high enough back then to spare the poor, hapless effects team such embarrassment. Ah well.
Tomorrow is catch-up day for comments and email (again, still, as usual), but for now I'll post a couple of links I've had lying around waiting to be tagged onto a Joan post. Maybe posting the darn things will jolt me out of this inertia. The less interesting of the two, I think, is this one, since 90% of it is a rehash of other articles. Barbara Hall does end by hinting vaguely at some plans for the season finale, though, so there's that. And here's a comics blogger's interesting and slightly unusual take on Joan and Joan: Joan of Arcadia, Alternative Superhero. Like I said, it's not a new link, so the post doesn't take the most recent episodes into account, but it is an interesting approach.
And so to bed. Maybe tomorrow will be a day full of accomplishments! Or maybe it'll be a Tuesday.
