So hey everybody I'm flying back home on Friday and I'm going bowling tomorrow night and we're having a barbeque Thursday night and Monday school starts up again and I have no idea if I was given the right paperwork to start clinicals and I haven't slept well the past two nights and I feel like saying "+#*% it all" to this week's voting because I haven't felt like reading a damn thing and I've felt mildly nauseous all day and-
You know, fun. -_-
So, first I guess I want to bring up that I've made it to episode 17 of Mystery Inc., and there are some things I wanted to say about the show:
One, I was not expecting to see the Hex Girls or Vincent Van Ghoul or Don Knotts in this show. Like, I don't think I was expecting to see characters which I really recognized by name.
Two, was it just me, or was the character of Professor Harlan Ellison in the Cthulhu-parody episode (the one who wrote a book titled "My Fiction Is Better") a parody of Orson Scott Card?
Three, I am repeatedly pleasantly surprised at how the Monster-of-the-Week formula is never played completely straight; that it's always the B plot to the character interactions, or a chance to parody someone or something from pop culture, or subverting itself like in the Wild Brood episode where the gang didn't know who the culprit was and had no actual way knowing to begin with.
Four, I was hit by how tragic a character the boy/old man in episode 17 is. It really touched me in a way I hadn't expected.
I just would also like to point out that I have still not finished Lain. And also that I haven't managed to read any further in American Gods since the weekend I was in LoNSaCA.
As a final note, I want to say I fail to understand Barinellos's tumblr comment, especially when I just started listening to a podcast series from 2011.
