I've gotten caught up into such a monotonous daily grind, I'm looking back and going how the hell did I let that happen. For that matter hasn't the time machine been invented yet? I would think if it was invented my future self would of already come back and slapped some sense into me, and brought me some lotto numbers.
I'm a person who listens, never like talking about myself... so its a bit ironic that I would even setup a blog to do just that. But I do find this is a good way to have some self reflection on my actions and as well so people can stop pestering me with "how are you doing?"
Speaking of which, "how are you doing?" really has to be the most insincere sentence in the english language. (Gotta love how I transitioned that right? Totally didn't see where that was going right?)
When people ask that, a good portion don't really care, then resent you for actually responding to it. It has been said we are social creatures but with phones, text messages, facebook, e-mails, voice mails, twitter...we do everything possible to avoid vague hintings of a face to face conversation. I miss being able to hold a conversation with a person for more then 5 mins. The next time a peson asks me how i'm doing, I think i will just hand them a buisness card with my blog address on it and save us both time.
Now that I'm off my soapbox....
Been watching new series Joss Whedon's Dollhouse.
This series has so much potiential but im afraid fox will whack it like firefly, which not also both being creations of Whedon, also share the infamous show killer time slot. I will say the supporting cast on this is amazing, to the point its going to overshadow Eliza Dushku.
I want to love her really I do, like her performance as the blind church follower. That was a amazing episode and showed that Eliza can break out of her sterotypical mold. If you ever saw her previous role in the series True Calling you can understand why we want to love her.
That being the exception, for the most part the potential to show her flexibilty in her roles always come off as uncaring sexy vixen assassin dressed up as..theme of the week. They've put so much focus on her character in this series and I dont see any versitality among her various roles.
On the other hand its the complete opposite for the supporting cast, like for example actor Enver Gjokaj who plays the doll Victor. For a complete unknown im blown away how well he can go play russian mob sleeze, romantic lover, to a thick accent horse handler. I really think if they expanded in the 2nd season more on the various other dolls and less on Eliza, that it could become a huge hit and get out of that kiss of death timeslot on friday.
