Deja Fu

And when I’m not fielding a thousand inane questions and requests from work, I’m trying to read my latest book. Not a lot of brainpower left over for semi-witty commentary.

So this turns out to be a short week, but fear not. I’ll be back again next week with more things to say that someone thought of long, long ago.

However, so you don’t feel all empty inside, I leave you with one of my favorite appearances by Matt Damon in film:

These are good years to be getting back into television.

I don’t mean that from a writing point-of-view, obviously. I mean as a viewer. I spent a good while using my TV as a monitor for my XBox, or my DVD player. Over the last few years, however, I have slowly started watching more TV programming than I ever have. The secret? Wait until the seasons are available on DVD.

See, with the series on DVD, I can watch whenever I want, without all the commercials and without having to wait a week (or more) for a new episode. I’m not at the whim of networks who decide to move a show and don’t tell anyone, or cancel a new episode so that they can air re-runs of Murder She Wrote. I can watch one at a time, or I can pull a marathon “all-night” viewing if I please. Since I started doing so, I’ve seen past seasons of Battlestar Galactica, Lost, House, M.D., The Office, Smallville, Heroes and even Grey’s Anatomy, to name a few. Good stuff indeed.

So what does this have to do with the title? Because House is my favorite character right now. I’ll probably write up something more extensive later. For right now, that guy just cracks me up when other people are looking horrified at what comes out of his mouth. I’m not sure that’s a good thing for me, but it makes me laugh.

You really mean to keep the site updated. You plan, you write, you get a good buffer and then you get sick.

The worst thing about head colds is that it makes writing damn near impossible. It makes reading damn near impossible, but I think that’s the cold medicine sneaking up and putting me in a coma when I raise the book above my head.

At any rate, this is your “I had an update, but it will have to wait” update. At least I’m managing to do that.
