media blackout

i've got a vast collection of dvds, both movies and television series.

i've got a large libary of books.

i'm currently in the middle of a tom robbins novel which, a month ago, i was enjoying immensely. it's about a free-spirited woman full of life, her magician husband, and the bonds of love that bind them. also, there's a chimp and some ninja priests.

i can't watch half my movies, i can't read half my books, and i certainly can't finish the tom robbins novel. as can be seen from the summary above, the novel is a near exact match for my own life, reminding me painfully that my very own free-spirited woman full of life is far away in both space and time, and that i haven't got a chimp. life turned out funny for me.

the movies, of course, all have female leads. love interests. ick. even something like the best movie ever made, conan the barbarian, has a love story, however lame it may be, thus rendering it difficult for me to watch.

LOST is straight out, on account of kate reminds me of my distant love, except for the killing a person part. but the competence, confidence, and especially the tight jeans remind me of my ranger.

my mind works in funny ways. hee haw.

sigh. it wouldn't be so bad if i didn't have a cold. have i mentioned that i have a cold? my poor overworked immune system hasn't been getting a lot of 'attaboys from me lately. so: go go gadget immune system! kick some viral ass. bleh.
