I thought that was an interesting headline. Record cold as a result of warming. Really. Really? 

If only I had called this whole every possible weather pattern can be pointed back to "warming" several years ago. Oh wait, I did do that. Yes, in a previous post on this very blog from YEARS ago I expressed my frustration that every imaginable weather pattern no matter the temperance or extremeness or which end of the spectrum the temperture happens to land it all leads back to blaming warming. It does. And that's because it's kind of scientology-ish psuedo-religion/political thing. I've known this for a while. Then also several years some body hand said something about climate change being a form of terrorism or global warming being like "several 9/11s" or something to that effect. That's when I really knew.

You see there's only so much resources and the media and populace and therefore big money can really only be focused on the one thing at a time. The resources can be put into things like homeland security or it can be put into things like global warming initiatives which coincidentally involves furthering left wing agendas and passing "global taxes" and whatever else. The same people who seem to not be particularly fond of things like national defense and gun ownership.

Okay, so glad I got that off my chest. This was another wasted day. I don't know what happened to me. Well I have a fair idea what happened to me. The events of Febrary the first combined with a a very consistent lack of any ability to fall asleep. And that last part doesn't seem to be getting any better. So I guess I have to force myself to get up at 6 or 7 am and be tired for a whole day then finally go to bed at an early time. Then perhaps I can start to re-adjust my sleep schedule just from sleep deprivation if nothing else. I don't think that's terribly healthy but I don't feel like I really have that much of an option at this point. I do need to get sleep after all. Even if it's sleep deprivation derived sleep. I'm not sure that made sense. 

On the bright side I got to watch one of my very favorite shows: Damages. In the past six weeks or so of blog posts I don't think I have yet gone and on and on about this favorite show of mine. It really is a novel in the form of a TV show. Not in a PBS master piece theater sort of way. I mean it's like it IS a novel that just so happened to have chosen the medium of TV. I don't know any other way of explaining it. It does this dual time line thing sort of like what Lost does only Damages actually has once long cohesive storyline for a given season. Since some of the last scenes of the story arc are shown at the top of the first episode the storyline for the season really does have to be written all the way out ahead of time. Which may sound similar to Lost but in Damages it works so much better then LOST!! Seriously. 

It's about a private practice lawyer who uses some questionable tactics to manipulate certain parties and win the cases she takes. In this case it's more about big pay out from one or more corporations or conglomerates or whatever. It's very fast paced and they never stop and explain things or slow down to work in a summary of the season's goal for any late comers. It's just go-go-go. In other words it never feels like even a single scene could some how be filler or for the benefit of new-comers who need to catch up. Everything you see matters and is relevant to both that episode and the over-all arc of the season. 

The show should be a lot more popular than it seems to be. I mean Nip/Tuck and Always Sunny are mentioned off-hand in different popular sources. But outside of the various awards it is always nominated for I rarely ever hear it mentioned. And it really does have a perfect track record. I don't think I could name a bad episode in the two seasons plus three episodes I have seen so far. Flawless. Every one of them. 

If there was one downside, if that's the right word for it, I would say it's that I don't know that it's the kind of show I would want to watch over and over again. It doesn't have re-run potential in other words. Or the kind of show I would watch the DVD of more than once ever three years or whatever. I would like to buy the DVD set actually. One of those things that will have to wait for a job. Okay now I'm depressed again.

Well I think this is a long enough so I'm going to stop.
