Sabbaths

Never having been what you would call ambitious, it's odd then, to reach a point in my life where I save up my resting and look forward to the day. Day of.

I have lots to do, have set myself to something. Somethings. It's odd, to have a purpose.

...

Not bad. I'll let you know how it goes.

Patience

I've had it up to here with people. And let's bear in mind, my here's higher than most people's. Which implies that the tall are more patient. Which is clearly true. One more proof.

Anglophile

I was a weird kid-no really, it's true. I fell into all sorts of odd things-I must have been about six when I started watching Dr. Who (the old one) and I still have a Red Dwarf shirt from a PBS marathon in 1993. My mother always liked English TV, we watched a lot of PBS back when that was what they played. So I had strange tastes in that sense, a fondness for things that were out-of-the-ordinary (though I can't stand Monty Python).

I must have been around twelve when I caught an episode of The Prisoner. Very few things have stuck with me so strongly, but then, there's nothing like The Prisoner.

It's beautiful. It's the strangest thing that's ever been on TV. Truly.

So when I heard that AMC was doing a remake, a reboot, I was worried. Like you would be, right? Other people taking something you love, doing new things with it...you'd worry, right? Tonight it premiered, and it's fantastic. Smart and odd and sinister and funny and brilliant. Just brilliant.

You can watch episodes of the old series here, see the webpage for the new here. Check it out, it's something I love.

Howl

I need a break. A break from magic future bullshit. It's eating me alive, from my head on out.
