There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief. Just finished re-watching Battlestar Galactica the entire series on DVD. That show coloured my outlook on life. The characters are all flawed. They all make mistakes but they are not irredeemable. They are given the chance to atone. Some take it, some don't. I don't subscribe to the belief that sci-fi somehow is automatically less valid than other forms of literature, that it necessarily must be escapism. Some of the most profound, important works I've experienced could fall under the umbrella of science fiction. Been listening to Bear McCreary's cover of All Along The Watchtower all night. At this rate my BMI should be 22 before the year is out. The irony is that I'm in better shape than I have been in years, more comfortable with my appearance (chest hair and all) than I have ever been (thanks, in part, to casting on Battlestar Galactica that had men with chest hair being depicted as desirable), wealthier than I've ever been, and yet, lonelier than I can remember ever being. I just found the 480p setting on my Wii console. Everything looks sharper now. About to go watch the latest episode of Flash Foward and jog. previous - next |
