LIKE, WHATEVER AND STUFF

[chasarumba]

2010 is off to a challenging start. I'm saying "challenging" because that sounds vaguely optimistic. This is my new policy statement, or like, WHATEVER: when I have LJ time, I'm using it to leave comments and give feedback and such, because let's face it, we care about what people have to say to *us* and not about what they post, right? Oh, please

Comments

ME! I adore Modern Family, it's charming and hilarious and lovable all at once. I wouldn't compare it to AD but I am very happy to have a new single camera, no laugh track comedy to love.

That's such a great way to describe it! I can't wait for tonight's new ep...I've just finished my requisite homework slavery for the night and am counting down the minutes...

LOL, yeah, totally! This sounds not unlike my new philosophy with my time online... except that if I didn't reply to *this* post... hmm, i'm getting caught in a weird circular loop in my head! But no one-way communication is a FABULOUS new motto--I wholeheartedly support it. (And vow to chat back to you for I do not want to lose touch!)

I have taken WAY too long to arrive at that resolution without feeling massively guilty about it. And the guilt -- why so stupid, self? It especially bugs with respect to my interactions with vidders...I didn't leave nearly as much vid feedback as I would have liked this year, but what I *did* do came at a much higher premium than in the past because of my crazy schedule. Given that, WHY do I still worry about people who haven't shown any interest in my work? It's like, seriously, just let it go. I think I'm *finally* there.

I feel the same :-) And you know, no stress about speed or frequency because God knows I'm the turtle and not the hare (witness how long it took me to comment on DLZ...sloooooooow), but I value our exchanges -- maintaining things of value, LJ Priority Numero Uno!

Yeah, it takes time! I'm the same... I look back on why I feel so drained online and it's because overall there's been this feeling that I'm just throwing energy into a black hole! Then I realised I just needed to focus and only give energy to those that gave back. So easy in theory! So hard in practice. I too had a lot of external presures last year and that's definitely made me rethink my priorities online--I just don't have time for the black hole of pointlessness any more...

And yeah, I think less guilt about frequency is also a good thing. I know personally it doesn't matter how long it is since I've heard from someone I like--if they pop up again, it's always a thrill! There's no expiry date. ;)

If you're nearly done with Twin Peaks on DVD that must mean you're trudging through the mire that is mid-late S2. I've never seen something turn on a dime so hard and fast in my life. It's just being fantastic telly and then all of the sudden it just deflates. The finale is good times -- me and the roomies were told it's a reward for perseverance and it very much is. :)

AND BIG LOVE. I just caught up with this series and OH, I love it so much. Possible I might try and vid it, maybe for VVC? I want to vid more this year (but I'm very bad at maintaining even fandom-related goals, heh).

That last Seeker ep, one of the best ever for the good crack.

And Spooks, too! I really like the beginning stretch of season 3, show's getting more stylish and more like what it is now (only still a little less crazypants).

So slow in my replies that now I'm *almost* done with Twin Peaks! Yeah, it's a bit...all over the place (seriously, did they not have a plan for what to do after answering the "Who killed Laura Palmer?" question?) and I imagine I would have lost patience if I was watching it when it aired, but on DVD, still entertaining :-) I'm in a pretty forgiving state as a viewer...just want to sit down and be distracted from work and school and it fits the bill. Plus, Bonus Gorgeous Young Billy Zane! *sigh*

Big Love is wonderful. It seems to fly under the radar. You should definitely vid!

When Spooks S3 started with Tom leaving, I thought, oh, sadness. But I love Adam and adore the 5/6 interfighting (or not fighting so much as plotting?) and yes, definitely more stylish! So, pleasantly surprised!

HAHAHA. So true. We are such attention whores up in this joint.

LJ would be a very quiet place without all that whorin' :-D

I like your icon. LOVE MODERN FAMILY, which is one tonight and did get picked up for a second season.

[chasarumba]

I'm so pumped to be all caught up and watching as it airs! So long as I can keep remembering when it airs, that is.
