TV and Writing

[wednes]

I decided to stop watching Law & Order reruns yet again. I periodically give them up so I won't spend so much writing time watching reruns on TV. But in addition to them being a huge time waster, I think all that violence is actually bad for me. Over time, I seem to be convinced that violent B&E's, tragic accidents, and all manner of incidental murder is lurking around every corner. I'm fairly sure I'm going to die every time I get into a car; and every time H leaves the house, I'm sure he's about to be robbed or hit by a car or something else terrible. As such, I'm going to stop perpetually watching shows where these things happen several times a night. I suspect that it will be good for me.

Speaking of writing time, I'm 1-2 chapters away from being finished with the third draft of The Cat's Apprentice. I'm also really excited about outlining the next project. The writing in general has been going fast and really, really well. Yay!!! Everything is being locked posted over at wednes_writes and is available for your reading pleasure as soon as you join.

As for television, FOX cartoons were quite funny tonight. Family GUy in particular was harsh and laughworthy. I was glad to see new King of the Hill (which I did not know were coming until today) Although Peggy Hill's insecurity and ignorance are fairly tired gags even after the long break between seasons. Everything else on FOX cartoon night was comedy gold.

ROME also served up the craziness. Lots of naked men tonight, hot ones. And I'm really glad to see that the Vorena are likely to be found. It would have been really horrible just to have them sold as slaves and that's it. I guess we'll get to see the new Octavian next week. That'll be awesome. I'm trying to resist going over to Wikipedia to read up on my Roman history so I'll know what's coming. I have a feeling Marc Antony and Cleopatra are totally going to get together. Though I would not be at all bummed if Atia happened to die, I don't think she will.
Also, Extras tonight had Daniel Radcliffe as the guest. Apparently he likes cigarettes and women and that's basically it. Anyway, it was damn funny.

You know I love Simpsons, Family Guy and even have a soft spot in my heart for American Dad, but I've never been able to connect with King of the Hill

That's understandable. Everyone on there is pretty neurotic and self absorbed. I like the kids though, and John Redcorn.

A lot of guys like cigarettes and women. He'd better hope the women he likes like cigs too.

It's a little different when the guy with the smokes and the ladies is Harry Freakin' Potter.


BTW, any luck with my disc?
