Sometime after 8am,

I had bad dreams. I can't really remember what they were about. I just know they upset me. They weren't realistic, but they represented some sort of unpleasant corruption of my life. Guilt and illness and cruelty and failure and pain were sort of mixed in with a bunch of concrete images that I just can't recall right now. As usual, it took me a while to shake the discomfort of those feelings after I woke up.

Had fun at silas7's last night. That boy throws a good party. My party (indecenthamtard, rojagato, and your truly) bailed sometime near 2am.

Dunno what I'm doing having bad dreams, really. The weekend's been pleasant enough. :)

"I just don't get the whole Buffy/Angel/whatever phenomenon."

I don't get it to the degree that Chisel does, but on the rare occasions I've seen it, I did admire the smart writing and willingness of the writers/producers to take risks and seriously screw with the series' premises.

Whoops. I just edited out the part you commented on. (Most of the partygoers were big Buffy fans.)

I dunno. I just don't like television in general. Buffy is a symptom of this, not a cause. TV is too concentrated and short-attention-spanny. Not like real experiences at all. It reminds me of candy.

Movies can be that way, but two hours of dense entertainment works better for me than a regularly-repeating half hour.

From what I gather, most prime-time TV is now truly ugly reality shows, which give me the heebie-jeebies. Even Chisel doesn't watch them.

OTOH, PBS just ran "Colonial House," which is sort of a reality show that was really very good. There was no competition and no prize, and no attempt to create conflict, so it wasn't like most reality TV. If you can catch a few episodes I recommend it.

It's part of the trend they started with "1900 House" and "Frontier House," obviously. I'd like to see "Medieval House," but it's going to take a loooong time to find people stupid enough to sign up for that one. Even "Colonial" was pretty hellish at times.
