Many Quick Thoughts For Monday

- I got a new TV recently with both analog and digital tuners. (The tuners are: NATC/NSTC/QAM, something like that). Anywho, it's been a surprisingly steep learning curve, adjusting to everything. (Analog cable doesn't look impressive anymore!) But I watched a rerun of Alias on local TV the other night on digital reception and it was DVD-quality. Very impressive.
- I went to the Frederick Meijer Gardens. A photoblog post will arrive later.
- It turns out I was not annoying enough and have been a movie extra once again, with a third date coming up soon. (All dates: same movie. NICE crew, too.)
- Why is the whole LA film/tv culture so obsessed with younger, younger, younger! actors and actresses, but get 20 to 30-year-old's to play high-schoolers? (That actually sounds like a They'll Do It Every Time daily comic panel. Sorry.)
- Speaking of comics, is Mary Worth's young Dr. Cory actually supposed to be young? And attractive? And charming? And interesting? And a "McHottie"? I can't figure it out.
- I love my MP3 player.
- It's night and the temperature really hasn't dropped at all. Stupid summer nights.
- So I think I could comfortably take a career as a journalist, a photographer or a writer. And yet, it feels like I'm missing a small piece that will bring it all into focus. Just a tiny, tiny little piece. Hhhmm. Well, thank goodness I have 100 years left in college to figure that out!
- I saw Transformers, which was a fun movie, assuming you didn't think for 90 minutes. It was actually lots of mindless fun. But, the transforming? Some looked "credible" for, well, being fictional car/robots and all. But for some, I think they just had parts spinning around for a few seconds until a robot materialized. I may be wrong. (I may also not care.)
- Sometimes, life as a tree would get really boring. (Such as in winter, I'd bet.)
- Magic is nonsense. Nonsense is silliness. Silliness brings laughter. But magic is impressive and brings awe, not laughter. (Most of the time, anyways.) This is odd.

We'll, okay, that's it then.
