diana,
the dvd’s are my downfall. i could never have watched a certain very excellent series with a double-digit arabic number as its title on tv. i can’t stand the commercials.

now i have to move on to “lost” AND “battlestar galactica” and possibly “studio 60″ (please clarify, is it recommended crap, or no?). the alternative, i quess, is to get a real hobby–wait, no, i almost forget, commenting on robin’s blog is my real hobby.

Annette, the world will have to wait. I have a plan. Barry and Robin can confirm that it is a very good plan. First I must tell my tale of swords, girls and conquest.
Then I chronical our adventures. Once those hit bestseller I will stop with my swords, girls and conquest stories.

Smart idea, Diana.

This is why I don’t have TV. If there are any new good shows on that tell me things about storytelling, they come out on DVD and I watch them then. For instance, I saw Studio 60 ages before you lot, since they put the pilot on Netflix. (Someone tell me they also noticed how so many scenes ended with amanda peet smiling vacantly into the distance?)

And Veronica Mars. Though I may cave and watch season 3 live, since I devoured those DVDs.

But it keeps me from getting caught up in the crap.

Yeah, Heather, I know what you mean. That’s how I feel about Lost–I’ve learned so much about storytelling, I treat the show as homework, not just entertainment.

I watch a lot of television (Eureka, Smallville, American Idol, Deal or No Deal, Clean House, Dora The Explorer, Spongebob Squarepants, Cable news), but I can walk away from most of it. When my hub travels, I often skip tv for Microsoft Word.

But I can’t walk away from Battlestar Galactica on the sci-fi channel. I think it is the best program on television. I would love it even if it I wasn’t a sci-fi junkie. I’ve loaned the initial mini-series out so many times just to spread the word. Great story. Sympathetic characters. The show has made me a better writer.

patrick, the world can’t wait. put that novel aside–herman melville be damned!–and IMMEDIATELY begin the “the amazing adventures of annette (and patrick) or pipi grows up (and patrick tags along)”.

seriously, given my new found penchant for incredibly trecherous undercover work there’s no telling how much longer i’ll be around to provide you with necessary technical assistance.

Robin - I’m with you. I’m so glad that Rockstar: Supernova is over. It’s time to get to work and finish my current novel. Once I finish that, I can get to work chronicling my adventures with annette.

You still havn’t rented Eddie Izzard’s Dress to Kill, have you?

The Science of Sleep was really good, too, but I’m not sure when it’s being released in your area.
