dyadic_raccoonSo I watched disc 2 of John Adams with my parents tonight and I'm kind of hooked. I refused to watch the first disc because I resent the inevitable bandwagon effect of the garden variety pretentious, historical HBO miniseries. But tonight I was just too lazy to gather up my stuff and go upstairs, and I can't fight the urge to watch Laura Linney in pretty much anything, so I had no hope of restraint whatsoever. Although I now enjoy history as a result of taking like 800 history classes last year, I've never really been a fan of anything before WWII--I just can't understand the complete stoicism with which they all lived their lives; it's so hard for me to identify with it. But it was kind of interesting to see this because it was constantly alluding to his sense of duty and the misery he had to navigate through as a result of all that. So it definitely got into the things that have puzzled me about the time period, which was pretty groovy.
It also scares me that I'm really obsessed with reading the news right now. I'm still kind of shell shocked from not doing APUS homework 24 hours a day, so it's like I need something to replace the endless boredom that has haunted my life lately. It's just really strange because my philosophy on life pretty much requires that I avoid reality as much as humanly possible, and yet it just really excites me when I see an article I want to read. Which is like...all the time. I'll read pretty much anything that doesn't pertain to the Olympics. Initially I just wanted to figure out how to make witty commentary on articles, in obvious denial of the fact that I am not nearly as badass as Jane Curtin, but I've ended up finding myself more morally outraged than anything. It's all very awkward for me. But I have managed to have a few witty thoughts. It's hard not to when the state of Texas is allowing teachers to carry guns, a guy who inverts numbers is everyone's top choice to execute criminals, blow-up churches are a thing, and Howard Dean is still out there somewhere.
Tomorrow I'm going to the library and getting like a zillion things that feature someone that I have recently been quite entranced by, so I hope to make an extremely epic post, presumably to the chagrin of people who generally agree with me on the issue of overrated bandwagon fandoms. I'm such a rebel. :D In my defense, she has two really necessary traits: A) an accent that makes me swoon and B) the most epic, wondrous pair of girly things on her front side. Also, she's an atheist and claims to have no maternal instinct, which are two highly esteemed qualities in the eyes of a relationship-fearing lesbian such as myself. I mean, why on earth would I not go for a voluptuous, faithless, unmotherly British actress? So I think it'll be pretty badass; I myself anxiously await the magical things that will necessitate such a post.
