Not what I planned, no.
May. 27th, 2010 09:50 pmI'm feeling more than a little vexed tonight for several reasons.
I just watched what looks like the last-ever episode of FlashForward on A-Channel tonight. Mark and Olivia Benford, Simon Campos, Demetri Noh, Lloyd Simcoe, Janis Hawk, and all the rest? We may well never see the rest of their story. You know I read Rob Sawyer's novel, the book that kicked the whole thing off...so I've got an emotional stake in this. I know what the market realities are as well as anyone. I just find that I can't care so much for them.
I see that the dog-piling of the neo-conservatives continues re: alleged CBC bias continues unabated. You openly disagree with these people who believe that CBC's existence is a threat to their definition of Canadian values, they will try to drown you out in their angry echo-chamber postings. Constant repetition, constant rage, these will triumph over sense and logic and democratic ethics...so they hope, it seems.
Tech issues: What happened to my LJ settings? I had it set so that I could read 20-30 postings at a stretch. Now it's back at 10. How do I fix this?
Oh, and I wanted to go see The Trotsky again at Silver City Gloucester tomorrow night. Not gonna happen, because their parent company ordered them to pull the movie after two weeks. Standard Canadian Content procedure.
I wanted to talk about things that made me feel good.
Not happening tonight, I guess.
