trickykittyI drank quite a bit of honey bourbon last night. Woke up with a slight hangover, which still hurts, but isn't of the death-level that most of my hangovers tend to be when I get them.
I had a realization about TV. TV appeals to our minds' need for predictability. Shows are predictable. Characters are predictable. Yeah, you get a rare gem here and there that goes against what you expect, but overall predictable foresight and hindsight are keys to the audience wanting to come back for more.
I also had a realization about my recent dating history. I deserve better. Maybe if I can keep hold of this thought long enough, I'll stop being quite so depressed about it. We'll see.
