While Writing there was Roku, Sexplanations, and MASH

     When I got up this morning I was planning to write about first episodes of random anime series I watched on Netflix but someone borrowed our Roku box so changing gears.

    Roku?

    Ruku?

    Roko?

    I say it a different way just about every time.

    Today while writing, since its While Writing Wednesday, I'm going to talk a little about shows with new episodes that were in my inbox when I got up this morning as well as a little rant about my MASH DVDs which will be the background for the rest of my writing day.

     AmandasChronicles: Flappy Bird Deported NOT Bieber?

     I love AmandasChronicles. I discovered her channel because Hank Green mentioned it on an episode of Vlogbrothers. Really creative, fun, and with a lot of energy and wink of crazy dance alone life.

     Vlogbrothers: A Middle Aged Man

     Speaking of Vlogbrothers. I started watching Vlogbrothers about three years ago and now I watch just about everything Hank and John Green are involved with. Some of the most balanced discussions I've ever seen have been with Hank and John on very varied topics from Giraffe sex to global economies.

     Mental Floss: 40 Weird Word Origins - mental_floss on YouTube (Ep.46)

     Speaking of shows John Green is involved with that I like. At one time I checked out the Mental Floss website daily until a site redesign just put me off but I love this series. Though to be honest I only watch the episodes that John Green does.

     Hankgames: QUESTIONS! (Part 1): AFC Wimbly Womblys #40

     Another truth to tell, even though this is Hanks channel, I only watch the episodes with John playing FIFA. I don't have cable right now and the only thing I miss is watching sports;which are the best background noise for writing. I get just as much into watching these videos as I did any blood and guts sporting events.

     Sexplanations: Confiscating Your Valentines: Anthony Comstock

     Another Green connected show. Sexplanations is honest, funny, to the point, and this episode explored a little bit of the history of censorship this country has had with sexual thingees.

    Anyone who knows me knows MASH is one of my all time favorite TV shows. Mar will tell you when we first moved in together I was going through a faze of watching my DVDs of the show over and over and over again to the point were I might be the reason she always reads while watching TV now.

    The only reason I would think about buying new MASH DVDs or whatever is because my originals take 8 fucking steps to start each episode. They didn't start putting even a second of thought into the design of the menus of these discs until halfway through the series.

     And NO PLAY ALL!

     I need Play All.

     Which while on the subject Netflix needs bad.

     MASH and a Play All function.

     I was a little sad the other day when Netflix's Twitter said they were adding MASH and it was the movie, which I like, but still- sad :(

Tumb Tumb

A friend tricked me to edge by showing me something shiney and I'm jumping off the bridge because she did so and I got a Tumblr account here: ! TUMBLR ! I'm mainly going to use it for on the go posting by phone so I will not clog things up here with notes about how hot I think David Tennant is or how I'm watching M*A*S*H Season One for the 34th time. I also created a feed from this blogger account to it since it was mostly idiot proof and thus at my level. Though I think it does double posting when I post by phone sometimes the same as blogger does so I might have to try something else later?

2 SHOWERS WITHIN 24 HOURS...I'M ON A ROLL

A I‘m guilty pleasure is coming back for another season. The show is has better writing than most other shows on television. The character designs, color palette, and quick story pace make it one of the best animated shows on U.S. Television.

Nope. Not going to comment but to say. Someone died. That’s always sad but not anymore than any other person in the obits.

I think my short story is heading into some strange YA, metaphysical, small town acid trip and it has me wondering about it and what may happen at the end. The fact that for some reason I can not get out of writing it in first person, I usually start a story in first person but then change it after the first chapter…I just don’t know. This may just turn out interesting. Oh, and it is no longer a short story. Looks to be dancing around novella territory right now.

See next stage we get Beam Me Up Scotty! I read this with Robin Bird in mind. She could probably tell me if I’m off base or not. Am I?

I tend to get very angry when seeing or hearing of babies being sick. Very angry at God.

I am glade they are doing this. I was so pissed that the only ways to get the special features was by getting the mega set after I had already bought almost all of the plain just episode season sets. MASH has always been one of my favorite television shows and one of the best in history.
