No Prankenstien am I...

[wednes]

I couldn't think of any good April Fools pranks to play on anyone, so I remained prankless. At least nobody got one over on me, so that's better than getting pranked.

Spent today calling back all the people who've been trying to reach me, including a friend from Group, my new psyche doc, and the glasses place: DOC. Then I started sending out queries for interviews to some various online markets. I've approached 8 or 9 online magazines, so hopefully 4 or 5 of them will be interested in doing a review or an interview with me. I still have to assemble hard copies of my press packet and send those out to a few local places.

Here's that TV meme:

2. Italic the shows you've seen at least one episode of

Did you like the new Dr Who?

[wednes.livejournal.com]

I prefer Chris Eccleson to David Tennant in the role of The Doctor, but I like it okay.

[trav28.livejournal.com]

oooh, I think if you give Tennant a go you'll warm to him :)

(the stories for Tennant are oh so much better too!)

I've seen eps with both guys, although I haven't watched much since Rose left the show. BBC plays them all the time though, I'll check it out.

[wednes.livejournal.com]

It's not a long list, but it is certainly indicative of good taste!

[maxverbosity.livejournal.com]

I will just list the ones where, to my knowledge, I have seen every single episode at least once. This list alone is embarrassing enough. Hell, I am watching an episode of #43 right now....

Whoa, that's some list.

I'm one of those people that beleives TV is a mirror of society, so watching a lot of TV is like being an casual anthropologist.

[maxverbosity.livejournal.com]

I agree.

One of my degrees is actually in cultural anthropology (the other is in cognitive and physiological psychology), so I keep current through scientific journals and, yes, television :-) I am a half-assed anthropologist, psychologist and maybe a three-quarter-assed Detroit Edison service planner.

LOL

[leemoyer.livejournal.com]

All:
43. Star Trek

Not all, but many
47. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

But no love for Twilight Zone, The Prisoner, American Gothic, or Profit?

That's just wrong.

[wednes.livejournal.com]

I must agree. Twilight Zone is a classic, certainly moreso than say, Prison Break.

[leemoyer.livejournal.com]

By several orders of magnitude.
I find the trouble with most modern lists is their sheer modernity. No respect for those that did it better...
