Blah, Blah, Blah

Can you tell I have a huge case of the doldrums. It's been one of those weeks where all I seem to do is work and nothing interests me or excites me. BORING! That pretty much sums up my dreary existence this week. Perhaps it is the weather. Perhaps it is one of the few times I am actually in touch with my reality. Whatever.

Anyway, the only thing I have found remotely interesting and entertaining this week is an episode of Scrubs that I caught over at my Mom's house. I actually laughed!  Why don't I watch this show more often? (well I actually laughed a little before that with an episode of "greatest game show moments" or whatever it was called where a clip was shown re: The Dating Game. The woman asks a contestant, "How do you spell relief" and he answers F-A-R-T.)

The next interesting thing is my new fascination with Ritchie on Highlander. When I watched the show years ago, I came in at the end of the fourth season (I think) and I thought, "what is his purpose...would someone tell me what he is doing here." I was way more interested in Duncan and Methos. Now that I have been able to watch from the beginning, I actually really love this character and felt inclined to to skip around to all the Ritchie eps to find out where he "became" immortal, when he had his first quickening, etc. That ep where he has no choice but to take the head of poor Mikey (and then Mikey places his own head on the railroad tracks....with a train coming!).....SOB!!

Then, I remembered something else about Ritchie. He dies!!!

Bummer!

I did read some more of Northern Lights or The Amber Spyglass or whatever it is called but have as yet to participate in the whole "book report" thing. Cool idea but I have nothing remotely interesting to say so there you go.

Well regarding the book reports you're doing better than I. I finally finished Dragon's Kin by Todd MCCaffrey and I've moved on to The First Rider's Call by Kristin Britain. I'm not reading anything of great significance like Sonia I'm sorry to say. I think my brain is tired. These are fantasy. Well written for the most part but not 'classic' in any sense of the word.

*sigh*

I think I need to broaden my horizons

Well, I wouldn't say I'm better since I am still woefully addicted to fanfiction ;-)There just hasn't been too many new fics to read of late.

And, I think if you enjoy it then it is "significant" no matter whether it is considered a classic or not. And, I have to admit to choosing a sci-fi novel over a period novel any day. Years from now, when we are old and gray, these insignificant books we read just might become classics...or not. But who cares. At least we are reading.
