Nothing to write about???

Argghh. 11 more days of political insanity. Then, I'm sure, the real finger pointing begins. I wish I could join the crowd of folk who love to comment ad nauseum on the campain, but the 'nauseum' hits me pretty hard. Guess I just hate conflict, there's that old INFP thing again (read up on that in the personality testing label).

Started watching a new tv series last week, "Life on Mars". It's a combination sci/fi crime drama show. Sci Fi because a 2008 era police detective finds himself transported back to the 70's, where he's apparently a new detective in an old school police department. The comparison between today and 30+ years ago is, at least in the one episode I've enjoyed, "Heavy, Man". I have to admit, I enjoy the look back at the 70's as well. Nostalgia is just another word for aging.....

Another show I've really come to enjoy is "Eli Stone". If you haven't watched it, do yourself a favor and track down last years episodes and catch up, the backstory is important, although you will enjoy just jumping in almost as well. (Perhaps there's a web page that will fill you in on the whoosits...). There's a lot of deep moral meanings in the program, which revolves around a high powered attorney who develops a brain aneurism that could kill him at any moment. Along with the aneurism, he gets visions, full blown participatory musical song and dance numbers that are so real to him that he's almost always drawn into joining in on the dancing, much to the consternation of the high muckety mucks of his law firm who have no idea why Eli has suddenly jumped on top of a conference table and started singing. The visions lead him to taking cases that, in the typical money driven judicial system, aren't likely to be big money winners, but have a strong moral and ethical value. At first, he resisted his visions, but more and more, he's coming to trust them. Good storylines, continuing character development, and just enough humor. Seeing George Michael singing "You gotta have faith" in one of the early shows, with attorneys and law clerks dancing around the extremely puzzled Eli Stone, corporate attorney, is a winner...

Looks like I had something to write about after all.....

More to come,
