So after I was able to sleep in a bit, I spent a day watching videos. I suppose I was due... a few notes before I re-group and come up with a significant post:
1) Caught up on Lost. I suppose there's been plenty said about the show and so if you've been watching, the exposure may be a bit much. I will say that one, I am a Locke fan and that two, I'm on board for next season. Now, if I were to interview JJ Abrams or the other creators of the show, my questions wouldn't be all too specifically involved with any one character or another. My questions would be along the lines of "did you legitimately have any idea where the plot line was going?" OR...and I'd love to find someone more successful than me who tried the whole 'insert something randomly into what I'm working on' idea and made it work. I used to incorporate words or different things into papers on a suggestion; I'd love to hear that Abrams and company do similar stuff (black cloud, fucking polar bears, Driveshaft) in their show.
2) I HIGHLY recommend that you all try giving up TV for a month. Now I did have the opportunity to watch games at work (and yes, it is work...I do get paid for my services), and so that made it easier. Aside from that, I stuck to my guns and felt pretty good about it. I finished the two books I didn't finish before the end of April, read another 3-4, and am just about done with two others...and I feel smarter. I'm learning things and am enjoying the simpler things in life. You really would be surprised how much else you can do when you're not sitting in front of the television.
Alright, so what I was discussing last night while on the way back from the airport is the idea of bucket lists. This will be addressed...but I will probably be coming up with lists of movies-to-watch first. Basically, the idea that there are movies that people SHOULD see...not like great movies, necessarily, but more like significant and/or relevant movies (Star Wars comes in close to the top). Perhaps a panel discussion will follow...stay tuned....
