The Idiot Box

I'm not a huge fan of tv in general, but in the past couple of months, I've watched shows I didn't have time for in the past. This includes American Horror Story seasons 1-3, Bates Motel seasons 1+2, The Walking Dead seasons 1-3, the last season of Breaking Bad, The Mindy Project seasons 1+2, Hit and Miss (UK), Ray Donovan, the current season of Master Chef, Orange is the New Black, and Food Network Star. I'm thinking of starting Orphan Black, Hemlock Grove, and possibly giving Lost Girl another shot.

I really enjoyed Hit and Miss with Chloe Sevigny. The premise is unique and interesting because she's a transgendered assassin who becomes the legal guardian of four children from her ex. Definitely disappointing that it only had one season because it would've been interesting to see how the story would progress. Of course OITNB is amazing, Bates Motel is always suspenseful, and Ray Donovan is better than expected (started watching for Kate Moennig's character).

What are your favorite shows (cancelled or not)?

My favorite cancelled ones have to be My So Called Life, Party Down, Freaks and Geeks, The Class, Wonderfalls, Related, and a lot more that I can't remember off the top of my head.

Early Retirement

The past two years have been insane but I'm thankful to be strong enough to still be around despite the lack of support from friends and family. The people I've been closest to in my entire life have basically given up because my medical conditions are too stressful for THEM. Anyway, enough about what I can't change. I'm taking this downtime to focus on the things that will help me pass the time, distract myself from the negative, and express myself. This basically means tv/movies/youtube, reading anything I can get my hands on, writing and sending mail, drawing/doodling, cooking, and whatever else I feel like doing when I have the energy.

This blog will now cover reviews of whichever form of media I've been viewing, photos of whatever I've made or have been working on, random conversations and observations, and my hopes/dreams/goals for the future.

I welcome comments, suggestions and recommendations of any sort, and correspendence if you'd like to be in touch.
