It was the cord, not the computer. You can't see me now, but I am doing a lying in bed shimmy of delight that My Princess (aka, the laptop) isn't going anywhere.

In other news, I had an epiphany today. Well, if an epiphany can be defined as once again coming to a conclusion that you already know so there is no great awakening or surprise, just the awareness that you actually are like you think you are and so you do actually know yourself.
One of those.
Ready? Here it is:
I have a tendency to obsess.
And I tend to obsess over things I immerse myself in. For example, I might, say, see an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and like it. I might then go out and buy the season 2 video of six episodes including Innocence/Surprise & Becoming 1&2 and watch them obsessively.
Then I might, perhaps, realize that I needed to know *right now* what happens after Buffy runs away, so I might go to ebay and buy all of season three in PAL format from some chickee in London, and then pay to have it converted into whatever format (I know it, but I can't think of it at the mo) American VCRs are. Then I might- possibly- go back to ebay and buy some really cheep TV copies of seasons 2 & 4. And season 1 in PAL, but never convert it.
So, the fact that I rented season one of Queer as Folk and watched all twenty two episodes over the course of four days should come as no surprise to my lil' obsessive self. So I should not be shocked that I immediately (like before I was even finished with season one) bought season two and am most likely going to get Showtime so I can start watching again right. now. Even if I miss the first five episodes of season three, so I see it all out of order.
I am pleased with my consistency.
And maybe I started reading a wee bit of the QaF fanfic. Is that so wrong? I mean, SCOTT HOPE comes in and RUINS THINGS (I am not spoiler tagging because I am fairly certain that most of the people on my friends list don't watch QaF, and if they do they already know what happened) and how am I supposed to go on without even the tiniest bit of a hope if a glimmer of what is going to happen? I'm only human, people!!
I can see that I am very tired and slightly incoherent.
Today was hellish, but it went quickly. Which begs the question? which is better, a dreadfully slow day with a boss who is chipper and friendly, or a really busy and therefore fast day with a boss who is overly stressed and an überbitch?
I just don't know.

Date: 2003-11-11 05:57 am (UTC)I don't watch QaF anymore because:
1.) The writing got so bad after Drew Greenberg left and went to Buffy (but, a coup for Buffy!)
2.) I couldn't afford Showtime anymore.
3.) I seem to enjoy the British version more.
I know what happens with Ethan and Justin in the middle of season two (and you will like what it is -- I hope that is not too much of a spoiler for you), but after that, I had to cancel Showtime.
Let me know how the end of Season Two turns out. And the beginning of Season Three.
Actually my favorite characters are Debbie and Emmett, so I kind of don't care too much what happens with the other characters. Just tell me those two if you want. :-)
