this is not the droid you're looking for

001. So I don't understand Tumblr. I admit it. I have no idea what the point is or what it's for. Is it just like a blog? Even if someone were to explain it to me, I can't promise I wouldn't continue to be confused.

002. I still haven't found any books in present tense. You Shall Know Our Velocity turned out to be just plain old past tense. Though, I'm still thinking of reading it. I also got this book Rendezvous in Black which looks like it might be a fun read.

003. I was working on this Dollhouse video about two months ago and just gave up. I don't know if I'll ever finish it or any other vid, ever again. It's sad. But possibly true.

004. Regarding Dollhouse. I'm slightly disappointed in the season thus far. I keep waiting for this to turn into a full-on ensemble and it's still just the Echo show. And call me crazy, but the Echo show mostly bores me. (As does the Paul show.) I almost think I wish TSCC would have been renewed instead. It always seemed like a toss-up, but not right now.

005. I really really like Eastwick. Well, maybe I just like Stars Hollow. Haha. Either way, I'm having fun watching this show.

006. I may have signed up for [livejournal.com profile] apocabigbang which is just the most hilarious thing ever. I haven't picked a fandom yet, and it's possible I'll chicken out at the last second. But yeah, it's a thought.

007. Stargate Universe. I don't hate it. I am curious to see more. I enjoyed the first three episodes. I like a lot of the characters. I'm just confused and intrigued enough to make this a regular thing.

008. I don't know if I've even talked about it on my LJ before but I was watching The Big Bang Theory at the end of last season. I think I've officially decided that I am going to give it up this season though. I'm just not laughing. Never was much of a sitcom person. Though Community and Modern Family are definitely making me laugh a lot this season.

009. I watch too much TV.

010. I know I promised/discussed a "life" post, but this is just as good right?

I know you're looking for a book, and I swear I'm not trying to plug myself, but if you want a quick fix of present tense, I do have one story written like that. It's one of my first fics, and it's centered around human!Anya.

I'm not much for comedy anymore either, these days. I saw the first episode of Modern Family. I did think it was cute, but I think I'm just going through a drama phase. (Maybe that's why, despite my best intentions, I still haven't gotten around to checking out Community...)

If you're up for an awesome new drama, and aren't already watching it, I strongly recommend FlashForward. It is crazy in the most awesome way possible. Did I say awesome enough? AWESOME!

P.S., that apocalyptic big bang looks fun (and even I could get that many words in!). I might consider it myself, if I wasn't already working on this Big Fuffy Epic.

I will have to check that out. I guess my quest for a book actually stems from the fact that I see a lot of present tense in fic but not in novels that I've read. (That I remember, apparently I'd forgotten I'd read some present tense books.) I think all my fic these days is in present tense.

I usually like drama more as a general rule. I'm REALLY PICKY when it comes to comedy. Not that I don't enjoy comedy, but not a lot lives up to my standards.

I think I've decided not to watch Flashforward for my own reasons. Not sure if it's the right decision. I can always catch up if it turns out to be something I need to watch.
