choices...

choices... there could be a lot more of these background tv entries, but sometimes i don't type what i am glancing up at... understating the obvious can get boring even for brilliant word-addicts, ya know?... sarcasm?...

tonight, after some more bad sciu-fi, i looked around the channels... there's top favorite sweet eye candy (milla j) and unrelenting perseverance (fsvorite qualities) of resident evil... practical philofophy of forrest gump... cute psych... has never been as good as the original snl... the first round of the nba playoffs... a few dozen other movies... food, comedy, history, science, or cartoon channel fare... many dozens of other channels... is it obvious that i lose interest in tv rather easily?...

random channel switching might occur between typing...

bad sci-fi

bad acting and worse writing has occupied the tv for the last hour or few... sci-fi channel movies can be so very terribly put together... i guess sci-fi fans in general have low critical standard or this station would never survive... cliche's like teenagers will save the world... there must be boy girl, cute and without excess body fat, of course... and clothing partially torn off whenever possible... and each have a parent lost and alone who fall in love with each other after the kids save them, naturally (or else we need the estranged parents who are brought back together in the end)... and this is especially good with brilliant misunderstood kids in trouble or in school detention cuz you've got to disregard rules and break stuff to save the world, right?... i mean, you really must be ready for the next extinction level event, right?... fear-based everything attracts most humans i suppose... i prefer hitchhiker's guide walkabouts and the less violent alternative perspective sci-fi found in some of heinlein, bradbury, and asimov, personally... but they did not need contorted reasoning and ridiculously illogical events to set up momentary visual effects (usually unnecessary and often that have nothing to do with the story) and actually had imaginations... for me, tv sci-fi (syfy, now) is a bit of eye candy in the background and an occasional interesting idea put into a story... tonight bad sci-fi distracts me from foot pain that keeps me stuck sitting here... elevate, ice, rest, bad sci-fi...

would rather play with you :)

watching more again

a bit more, at least... and here i am again letting you know just in case you want to come over and watch with me... i mean, someday we'll be old and have little more energy than needed for tv watching... or maybe we'll break a leg together (grumbles) or some such fun... between playing the game (ncaa football, i mean, where have you been?)... monday nights sci-fi (being human and lost girl, not top favs, but occasionally interesting enough to keep me coming back when i remember and am here) and tuesday nights ncis mostly... and now, eureka is back, though as i mentioned, disappointing so far... ncis reruns occupy the background more than anything mostly because i enjoy the characters and some interesting plot lines for a cop show, still, mostly the characters... the mentalist and stargate:sg1 falls in there too... reruns, mostly... relating to characters is what attracts me most to tv shows... not just for the visual cuteness or libido, interactions that seem like genuine trust and caring is very appealing to the part of me who enjoys imaginary friends...

what?... you don't have imaginary friends? :)

so many missed moments here

in the land of tv, background tv mostly, but still tv... tonight i watched eureka and was once again disappointed in the recycled storyline and lack of imagination and lame desperate grasp for plot by adding pandering to paranoia with sinister secret big brother controls, terminator, independence day, and as far back as brave new world and so many other stories told this so much better... it was bound to happened, they basically told us they ran out of imagination when they suddenly announced the show's cancellation at the end of the fourth season... so little in the human mind beyond sex and violence and paranoid conspiracies...

wish someone would put a series together based on heilein, bradbury, asimov, and others...

what are you watching lately?

psych

i actually really like psych... it is the right amount of silly (lots) and serious (a little) and sentimental (gushing at times) and imaginative to keep me interested in the middle of the night... the multiple movie and music influences... the cris-cross of corn and cleverness in the writing (ok, more corn tham cleverness, but still, fun)... and the guest cast includes cary ewles, a favorite, and ally sheedy in a real spooky role, and others i enjoy... and after a night of episodes i have the serious crush on maggie lawson... face and body, yum, i mean, respectfully yummy... seriously, i mean, i know it's just a momentary fantasy crush, but from libbo to the heartbeats i am smitten, at least for tonight... she has just the right about of vulnerability and cuteness and sensuality in that character (of course she could be very different in life, but we are not in life on tv, are we and that is what this blog is about, tv-life)...
