In Ancient China they got a proverb that goes a little something like this: “Even a blade of grass screams when it gets eaten”. I’m not one hundred precent on what that really means, but its Truth, buddy.
The last few weeks have been like some bad music mashup of exhaustion, conflicting paths, pure unadulterated laziness, and a smattering of WTF to screw with things just a tad.
This all accumulated in watching the entire series of Stargate: SG1 from beginning to end. It got bad there toward the end of the series, when I began plotting out Stargate fanfic whilst watching the episodes. Fast forward another week or so and I began to realize that all this computer television watching wasn’t getting me where I needed to be.
Where is that, you might be wondering. Well, sit back and relax, because this is going to be a story.
A while back I made all these deadlines for myself, everything I needed to do for the next six months, planned, written up, and with hard deadlines that didn’t take into account my laziness. I’ve got this ability to not remember all the days I’ve spent lying about watching Stargate, Farscape, Terminator, Deadliest Catch, Battlestar Galactica, and Bones episodes for days on end.
But damn it, Netflix is just so damn convenient.
Those deadlines are coming up, sadly, and the way I’m seeing it, I’m suppose to be providing entertainment instead of consuming it. There’s gotta be some kid out there that’s just like me, who’ll spend days reading something, watching something, or listening to something and damn it, it’s my books, my webcomic, and my droning voice they should be consuming. Not hot television actors. Me!
With that in mind, I’m getting back to work. There’s a lot of it. And my back hurts. But I’ve got coffee, I’ve got the AC on, and Johnny
Cash playing, so I’m set.
Prepare for updates.
You’re welcome.
