2nd to last entry

I didn't have television when I was young. I wonder how much of an impact that has had on my life. I've always been rather misplaced in school, happily of course, but even still ... I wonder if not having the common ground of TV had something to do with that. How much did kids really talk about their favorite episode of the Simpsons? Or whatever people watched. I know it's trivial talk, but when I went to summer camp one year (yes, I did, weird...), the first thing anybody talked about was their favorite TV show. Me, in the corner, playing the guitar, mouth shut.

I have resentment towards high school social quotas too, deeply engrained in my sentiments ... now is that due to the lack of television? I don't relate well with people straight off the bat, and for all I know it could be from not watching kids on the tube go through the same experiences as I did.

Now I watch TV shows on my own, on Hulu, or I rent the DVD's. I'm on a diet of whatever Joss Whedon is doing currently. Which may be Dollhouse, now that Fox in their infinite cluelessness of the nature of entertainment and art may NOT be canceling (too late guys...). Last time I talked to anybody I didn't know about TV, they told me Dollhouse was pretentious and for moody high school kids. Jeez, thought I, maybe that's true. But then I learned they watch and enjoy The Cleaveland show. Which is obviously watched by ... I don't even know. Does anybody really watch that?

I don't know. I watch Dollhouse because it's good, and there's not much more I can say. That's not true, I could rant-worship about Dollhouse for a while...

I don't know, maybe nobody cares.

:-P
