So Much for Consistency
It seems I'm never very good at keeping up with these postings. I always start out with the best intentions, but I'm a natural-born procrastinator. I actually procrastinate on my procrastination.

Bryan Fuller is the voice of my psyche
Wonderfalls, where have you been all my life?
I'm not convinced that I'll love this series as much as Dead Like Me, but it is easily one of the funniest and cleverest shows I've ever watched. I don't think any other series has made me laugh out loud so many times, and I've only watched the first three episodes so far.

However, after rereading PS in light of the end of the ( Read more... ) -

Now that I've actually started working on my dissertation and need to more actively re-enter the world of fandom again, it seems an appropriate time to relaunch a new, improved journal (my old one has been sitting neglected for over a ( Read more... )
