Back to The Walking Dead

I agree with the Great Wall O’ Text, and with you, especially this part:

And you too, especially

I feel like, mostly, the characters in this show are kind of cardboard, and it’s the events that drive the show. I watch it for suspense, not inter-personal relations

To me the show has always been about the notion that “The Walking Dead” doesn’t refer to the zombies, it refers to the group, whether they’re “dead” spiritually, emotionally, morally, whatever. The show is about the human responses to the situations they find themselves in throughout. The problem is, they spend far too little time actually confronting situations, and way too much time talking about them. Good fiction colors its characters best by their actions; when you feel like you know many sides of a character without having to look at or listen to the dialogue, the storyteller has done his job. The Walking Dead has action far too infrequently and react either predictably (Lori’s constant stupidity) or just bizarrely, for reasons that don’t reveal anything about the characters. To compensate, the show strains to have the characters define themselves by what they say. I’m still going to watch the show and enjoy it, but it’s nowhere close to its potential.

I've never had a better one.

thank you for asking!

I gave her her valentine’s present, a pair of earrings from anthropologie. I hung them off the horns of a plastic Bevo (she’s a UT fan). This morning we had a discussion over the pros and cons of the zone defense. Her gift to me was a ticket to see her in her neck of the woods, whenever I want. I hated having to share her—she has a lot of friends on campus—but the time I spent with her . . . . I’ve never been happier.

the conference itself was alright, madison was really fun. not to sound lame but i really felt like i bonded with some girls in our section and got to know people better (basically because i’ve never seen the majority of them in an actual social setting). now i’m just like MEH, open book exam tuesday and i am sick of skimming, highlighting, and post it noting everywhere. ready for it to be tuesday night because after then i don’t really have any work to do the rest of the week since spring break is next week.

my mom even used to call it mount misery!

the thing is my youngest sister, at this point, really wants to go to state but has issues with standardized testing. so i think my mom wants to get her excited about other schools so she isn’t disappointed if she doesn’t go state.

she thinks central is less of a party school than western, thus potentially a better fit for her, but i think they are probably equivalent…

Observations of the middle-aged, #294

You have no idea how many paint cans can accumulate in your garage over 22 years. Today I pulled 45 cans, of all sizes, out from under the work bench.

And did you know you can’t throw paint away if it’s still liquid? You have to put something in it — a chemical additive or plain old kitty litter — to make it harden before you can put it in a landfill. So tomorrow I get to open up 45 cans to see if (1) they can still be used and (2) dump kitty litter in them if they can’t. Should be lots of fun.

Four Roses is a very good bargain and outstanding for the price

It’s a shame y’all won’t taste it unless you come herebouts

Huh?

Four Roses has solid national distribution. My dad has a bottle of the single barrel in his cupboard in Portland

Yep.

A Japanese company bought them and made distribution a priority.

Yeah, I didn't realize they were national now

They were famous for being the best-selling bourbon from 1930s-1950s, then they stopped national and international sales because Seagram’s wanted to concentrate on blended whiskeys. I guess they started distributino everywhere over the last decade—apparently all 50 states now. That’s great news.

Apparently 2002 was when they reintroduced it

And it dominates in Asia and Europe now. Go figure.

Someone mentioned the other day that they don't get a company holiday until May

Sigh. I’m in the same boat.

I technically don't get a holiday until May.

I’m also taking two left over vacation days next month.

I wanna have a good time and enjoy my Jack.

The twitterz, not for the weak.

I should probably take some random days for my own sanity

I don’t get to carry vacation over anymore, as of last year. Use it or lose it!
