I just realized Chris left me a message and I never called him back. He is going to be pissed in the morning. But anyway, my weekly account of the Simpsons and the X-Files. I thought the Simpsons was really good. Even down to the sarcasm at the end. Bart calls into FOX's telethon and pledges $10,000. The lady on the other end says "Thank you, with your pledge of $10,000, you have saved our network!" To which bart replies (camera zoomed in on his face) "It isn't the first time lady..."
Then we have the X-Files. This was the COPS style episode. In some ways I feel this was amazing. I don't know if Chris Carter is trying to prove how versitile he is or something, but it was interesting to see the contect of the show ported to another (very different) format. On the other side of the coin, I felt it was a bit labored. Obviously it wasn't meant to pass off as a real episode of COPS, but the acting was really bad. I also noticed that they stayed away from any of the police or camera crew actually getting killed. Interesting angle. All in all it was good, but I think it could have been much better. Thinking back it reminded me of a cross between COPS and The Blair Witch Project. With Mulder and his wit thrown into the whole thing.

This is an interesting morning already. I have been hit with the creative stick or something. Already I have ideas for my next project, along with a few things I might do in the future. So many ideas, so little time to accomplish half of them.
I do want to mention one thing though. I had cut a part out of my What is e/n? thing. I had gone off about the attitudes that run rampant. I cut this from the final draft in the idea that it was not helping keep the entire thing subjective. But you know what? Screw that. Here is what I cut from it:
So we get a community full of trash talking internet kids hopped up on the false sense of power that comes with your first taste of double-blind anonymity, IRC refugees now running sites that post pictures of fat chicks with irrelivant quotes under them, and miles of text trash talking other sites. All of this makes e/n very much akin to AOL chat rooms, and less of a weblog sub-genre.
So do with that what you will. I don't really think the people that is directed at read this site anyhow. And I will not be tacky enough to alert them to the fact.
Oh, and good morning! :)
