Insight: Supernatual, Turfing, Apologies
Last things first...
Apologies for the distinct lack of pics on the posts. I'm just firing up the digital camera and the results aren't really up to scratch but they are improving. You can expect reasonable pics next week.
Okay, my friday was busy with a capital, bold, italic B, U, S, Y. Had a grueling 5 hour stand in surgery and a whole load of turfing.
In case you haven't heard of turfing, it is a phrase that came to prominence in the novel House of God by Samuel Shem. Turfing is the art of making your problem become someone else's. It's fun, it's addictive and it sure beats working. Unfortunately, those pluses only apply when you're doing it. We had a couple headed our way of which I spent most of the remaining daylight hours after the surgery fending off. Not fun.
So anyway, I've started watching a new TV series, Supernatural. It's a reasonable series, half Millenum and half x files with more attitude thrown in. The 2 protagonists are brothers hunting evil spirits on an extended road trip.
The most impressive thing about the series is the cinematography and editing. The wonderful shades of greys and drab olives with a washed out almost sepia tone. The black Impala in that setting just looks mean.
The plots themselves are quite passable but having been exposed to X-files and Japanese anime series, I would have preferred a bit more explainations. Still, a very credible effort from Warner.
Whilst I'm here, here's my playlist for this week:
Dance, Dance- Fall out boy
Sinnerman- Nina Simone
Blue- Pete Teo
Mad Tom of Bedlam- Jolie Holland
An update coming soon to you will give the low down on these tunes. Later folks.
