What's your favourite TV network? Over the years, I've liked a few...now it seems like nobody has a unique style anymore.

2. If you could create your own channel, what would it be? arts, culture, some left-wing politics, maybe I'd bring the dramedy back...I still like them-- maybe I'm not alone!

3. What TV show did you watch as a child, that you wish they would bring back?Not that I really want *actual MASH* back, though America had lots of feelings about its involvement in KoreaitNam, but I would like to see a show with as varied an emotional template and room for character growth as MASH. Something funny, but less like "Well, they loved that, so let's do it twenty more times," Something that trusts us to figure stuff out a few times(Anti-war messaging and Very Special Episodes optional.)

4. What show have you always hated, and wonder why they ever made such a dumb show? I grew up in the 1980s, which gave me an unmatched opportunity to see the good, really bad, and indifferent from, practically the beginning of the form(thanks to cable-- I'm not a spirit that sits around watching TV or anything...years ago, I might have had more passion about that. But I will say, we might not be here now without "The Apprentice." #DeportMarkBurnett(I've had a lot of streaming access this year, for the first time, and I'm not sure if it makes me feel better or worse how hard it can be to tell "cult favorite" and "Swing and a miss," apart.

5. What TV show's seasons would you buy on DVD? I would have loved it if the reason I got such a great price on West Wing DVDs wasn't because Amazon either let half of them get scratched up or knew they would be. Maybe I should have gotten a *really* great "Take Your Chances" price. Anyway, never finished that rewatch...

which is just one of my 99 problems, but I re-watched "Morning Glory" last night--it's a cute comedy about a morning chat show, and when I watched it the first time, in say, 2011, I was so jealous of Rachel McAdams' producer character with the job that consumes her life(I have a media degree, so it wasn't *completely* nuts to imagine a sort of AU where that was my Hamiltonian "shot", even though in real life, I never really got that close. You know?)

Working that much doesn't look that good to me now--it's good to know I can get over things; I've clung onto so much.
But I don't know what it would look like if any of my current dreams came true, since I'm not quite at "Wouldn't change a thing," either, obviously.Even if that would make people closer to me happier than it would make me.

Sort of wish I had what one of my more...unreconstructed hippie mentors used to call a "heart's desire" but I guess it could be worse than being confused...I could be tearing myself up wanting a baby, on the corner of Never Likely, and Too Late Now(one of the intersections where Phoenix really does have superior wheelchair access, if you go by my life experience, sadly) and that would hurt more than this. Probably.

Nothing like computer maintenance...

to pluck up my sagging self worth-- NOT!
(Hope it's no big deal, but sometimes it takes a while to get things in shape again.

but I'm not overburdened with good ones. Sometimes, I wish life were a bit more like streaming so that I could catch up with things I missed. But I found some

It's a good show and I love how Kaitlin dresses, even if I don't think I can carry it off

I'd give up my checks...

to be able to say this all worked out for the best. Except, I think maybe it didn't.

It was nice, but somehow not what I was looking for, either. Worth a shot, though--writers have to expand our wheelhouses for what we read and I read this Argentinian short story collection earlier this year. I did get a story idea out of it I guess. But I wish there were something out there that would use...well, maybe All of My Things is dramatic, but maybe More of My Things makes sense.
Some part of me always feels as if it twiddles its thumbs.
